The feral pig population has been growing in New Jersey. They're believed to have descended from domesticated pigs released into the wild years ago.
More than 100 of the creatures had been ripping up golf courses, wrecking farms and fields, and killing native plants in rural Gloucester County.
Wildlife officials first tried trapping and killing the hogs with little success.
The hunt is part of a long-term plan to eliminate feral pigs from the state.
