Barrett RH and Stone CP. 1983. Hunting as a control method for wild pigs in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park: a report for resource management. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
"A simulation model was used to examine the impact of the recorded kill on the estimated pig populations in each management unit. In only one case, the Kipuka Ki Unit, did the simulation results indicate that the given kill rates had significantly reduced the population. The model, based on the best information available, indicates that a semiannual kill rate of between 30 and 40 percent of the pre-harvest adult population must be maintained to control the population to half its unharvested equilibriumdensity. Recent kill rates have averaged only three percent."
