A committee in the Oklahoma House of Represenatives has approved a bill that would allow aerial hog hunting to control the population of wild hogs. Feral hogs are causing millions of dollars in damages for Oklahoma farmers and ranchers, state agriculture officials say.

The shadow of Kyle Lange’s helicopter hover over feral pigs near Mertzon, Texas, Wednesday, Feb. 18, 2009. Under a legislation proposed by a Fort Worth lawmaker, recreational sportsmen would be allowed to join professional hunters like Lange to aerial-hunt feral hogs to help thin out their relentlessly multiplying and destructive ranks from the perch of a helicopter.
