Yep, creates smart and experienced sounders of boars. US states that are using testing efficacious methods are having great success with eradication efforts.

They have banned hunting and set up zones of populations. They target these zones independently. The efforts primarily focus on two methods of reduction:

camera operated spring traps that capture an entire sounder.

Helicopter sharp shooters who coordinate with drone pilots who have infrared cameras to spot sounders.

The key is taking out each and every boar in a sounder.

Because I had to look it up, and to save others the effort, a sounder is the term for a group of wild boar or pigs. Like a pack of wolves or a murder of crows.

Thanks. I kinda figured that but hadn't got around to looking it up.
