Exactly, and the client is paying the bill, not the landowner. It's a win win for both client and landowner.

And you get one or two, the rest tun off, and that is it for a while. Good enough for sport hunting, but too slow for culling.

Yup. After you get 2 out of the bunch, the other 20 are now feeder shy.

They have feeder traps that catch the whole herd at once they work pretty good from what I've seen on YouTube.

I watched a video of one of those circular traps, sometimes they caught five or six hogs, sometimes one or two. They did mention that the pigs that didn't get caught learned quick.
