    There is not a significant population of wild hogs in Colorado, nor will there be until more high fence operations like the one you posted about lose hogs through the fence. Almost all hog hunting is high fence stuff and the whole narrative about them being destructive is just part of a narrative that attracts people who are on the fence about hunting in general and want to have an easy way to justify killing something.

    You won't find free/cheap hog hunting in Colorado because 1) there aren't significant populations of wild hogs here, 2) it's way too much of a cash cow, 3) even when enough hogs get loose to have a significant population, land owners aren't going to be real interested in letting a bunch of strangers run around on their property with guns, and 4) any property owners who are more interested in actually getting rid of the hogs instead of selling hunts for them would trap them as that is a far more efficient method than shooting them.

    ETA: Hogs ARE destructive, but that doesn't stop the places that sell hog hunts from constantly importing them to the property to just sell hog hunts.
