I hear about farmers and ranchers wanting pigs on their land killed. Anyone know anyone or know of people that pay to exterminate some piggys?

One side note, NEVER put an armadillo in a paper feed bag.

That's doubtful. If anyone is willing to pay for pig removal, they will probably enter into a co-op with neighboring landowners, get a depredation permit with the state and they will be paying an outfit with a helicopter and lots of ammo. They can kill hundreds of pigs per hour that way. To compete with the aerial depredation outfits on an hourly or per-pig basis you would probably walk away with a couple of quarters in your pocket after a very successful day.
To get free hunts you need to be able to prove that you can do things the landowner can't do on his own and that you can do those things in a reasonably quite, unobtrusive and responsible manner that will not expose him or her to any conceiveable liability.

Alot of people think you can just show up and start whacking hogs. Most of those people haven't hunted hogs before.
Effectively killing them requires bait, which would likely mean a long term lease relationship.
I am covered in hogs. You can stalk them and I give you a 5% chance of success. My feeder there will give you a 100% chance if you stay long enough.

I doubt they would if there were hordes of well equipped photographers willing to pay $500/day just to sit in the cafeteria and take a picture if they see a bunny.

im gonna have to disagree with this one. hogs can and do survive on their own without us throwing corn. the reason my farmers want me pressuring their hogs is because they destroy their wheat fields, gardens and natural food sources such as acorns and rut up around their ponds.

Disagree if you want to. If you want to kill 40-50 pigs on one piece of land, this is how you do it. Your're right, you can find them grazing at times etc. But to effectively hammer an area you need corn. I love to put my nightvision on and sneak around. Its my favorite type of hunting, but not as effective as a good ole feeder. My area is thick as heck, there is no way even a ninja is gonna effectively stalk hunt mine. A squirrel sounds like a train coming through my thick woods. Effectively killing them requires bait, which would likely mean a long term lease relationship.

Another problem is that pigs have such a wide range- they can hit and do quite a bit of damage to a field in one night, then vanish for weeks. Just happening to be there at the right time is nigh on impossible unless you have a place that provides something unique like good cover or a steady food source. I am lucky in that my place does both, and is the only cover for miles around, but for most it's a game of chance.
Can we just make a sticky saying that no farmer is ever going to pay you to come out and shoot pigs? Too many people are too eager to do it for free, most do it loudly, dangerously, and badly. Those who do it right have no problem finding places to hunt, but even they aren't near as effective as a chopper with a good shooter. We paid a chopper to cover our place and a couple of neighbors last February. They killed 280 in two days- can you do that with your SKS?

Actually, I know a guy that does get paid to remove hogs. It can be done, but he also gets paid to remove any wildlife animal.

I actually met a gentleman this weekend that pays an individual to kill hogs on his land. They are in his wheat fields tearing it to shreds, so it is a win/win.

I'd go broke in a week paying $25 a hog. My part of the last heli slaughter was $200 something iirc.

You have the right idea but wrong method. People see hunting as a money maker these days. Ever try trapping pigs? I sold 9 live pigs this morning for $432.70. I think it would be much easier to get rights to trap than hunt and if you find a buyer you can make a lot of money.
