Maybe two years ago, Nebraska Game and Parks used a helicopter and shot 65 or so south of Harlan County Dam.  They say there are some on The Republican River drainage yet.  I have never seen one in Nebraska but I have some friends that have seen em.

My nephew in Texas says they are a big problem down there.

Hunting feral pigs in Nebraska is not allowed as far as I know.

Most of the people that talk about this mean to do it chemically, by adding something to some feed that can be left out that would do it.  There is accually a birth control pill that works on deer that can be mixed into food that has been used in some urban areas to help control their population.

Mike Streeter is the head of Hunter Education for the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission.

His position is that, when encountered in Nebraska, the wild pigs should not be shot by hunters.   Mike says that such action disperses the herd and wises them up mightily.

What NGPC wants Nebraska hunters to do is call NGPC immediately and give their location.   They will dispatch helicopter shooters to deal with them.

He says there have been some wild pig herd incursions along the southern border of Nebraska, pigs coming up from Kansas.   NGPC is well aware of and carefully watching the situation.

That is correct. I work for the USDA Wildlife Services and we are the ones that usually get the call to fly to remove the hogs. Kansas started out letting people hunt hogs at Fort Riley, but they get wise and will go nocturnal making it harder to remove all of them. Now Kansas has several populations of them. In fact my Supervisor use to be our aerial gunner in Kansas. Another reason Game and Parks doesn't want hunters to shoot them when encountered they are concerned that some people will become enterprising and release domestic hogs so they have something to shoot. Once the domestic hogs are released into the wild they will reproduce multiple litters a year thus increasing their population. It also only takes a couple of generations for the skeletal structure to change and they revert back to a more wild state. As for the information in the article it is pretty much spot on. Not only will the hogs damage property and crops they can be hazardous to humane health and safety they can also readily transmit disease to domestic hogs.

Ram Ringer, et.al:

Now you will be getting a flood of applications from all those Former 'Nam-era Slick Helicopter Door Gunners who just want to volunteer their services to restore Nature's balance to Nebraska Wildlife.

And maybe even from One Ol' Hold-'Em-and-Squeeze-'Em Ex-USMC Rifle Instructor from way back in the Korean Police Action Era.

Heck, we'd even chip in for gas for the helicopter.

This is all the more reason to make hunting feral pigs legal, at night, with night vision optics...Problem solved!  You're welcome.  ;D
