We know that- Same will be said of people shooting at deer at ranges without killing cleanly. Wounding, not retrieving etc-poor form and doesn't sit solely with the pig hunting fraternity...it sits with people who seem to show fuck all respect to anything at all.

I try and release any pig I might catch that I do not need(ego or meat) as where I hunt the pigs numbers are such that they are born on the run and hunting utes are seen twenty deep at the local BP before dark any Saturday and Sunday morning.
