Some people will only let boars go with good jaws etc to better the local genetics which doesn't worry me also as it doesn't increase numbers only trophy quality. But the best and legal way to increase numbers is to close an area up and not hunt it. The benefits of this method is it creates a sanctuary for sows to go to in late pregnancy to give birth and gives the litter the best chance to not get miss mothered by dogs disturbing things. If you pick an area with good cover and plenty of tucker they work it out pretty quickly and the results follow. It also seems to be a double standard that letting deer go or letting them breed up is fine but at the end of the day its no different.

Deer don't create the same amount of pasture damage if you're talking about letting go on the back of farms....
