As Aktung said, it's essentially pest control.

Wild Hogs will ruin land and kill livestock and when they come to areas and start multiplying, they need to be contained or they'll tear up everything.
Missouri Dept. of Conservation states that a group of 10 wild hogs can ruin between 20 and 30 acres of land in a night. They also spread diseases.
They're not at the hunting level state-wide (contrary to what I originally thought), but I believe certain areas down here will allow some hog hunting.
The other pest that needs controlling is Coyotes. If you don't keep your smaller livestock or pets safe at night, you may be missing a few here and there after a while.
