Georgia has signed a bill allowing the use of drones for locating feral hogs, making it easier for residents to trap and kill them. The new law also removes additional restrictions on hunters and trappers, including the requirement for trapping licenses. This change is expected to help control the state's feral hog population, which has been causing significant damage to wildlife habitats and private property. With the use of drones, Georgians will be able to more effectively locate and manage feral hog populations.
