You are absolutely correct. Its open season on wild pigs in Tx. They cause over $56 million in damage to crops/pastures in Tx alone. That does not include the damage to wildlife habitat, parks & residential areas, and livestock through transmittable diseases.
According to Dr. Higginbotham (the recognized wild pig expert) there will be a bait legalized in 2015 which will kill only hogs. Its sodium nitrite and pigs are super sensitive to it. It prevents the blood from absorbing oxygen and it works like an overdose of sleeping pills. Pig gets sleepy from lack of oxygen in the blood, lays down, goes to sleep and never wakes up.
Sodium nitrite is found in lots of prepared meats like salami, but a human would have to eat 183lbs of salami at one time to have adverse affects from the sodium nitrite. Nor does it have adverse affects on other wildlife like deer, squirrels, coons, etc.
These pests have spread all across the US and are even in Canada.
Remember the E-coli outbreak from spinach in California a couple of years ago? That was traced back to wild pigs.
These animals, while the smaller ones do make good eating, do more damage than they are worth as a meat source.
We will definitely be on the list to get some bait.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
