Several southern states now allow wild hogs to be sold to slaughter houses. Only restriction is they must be delivered alive for USDA inspection at the slaughter house. I have a couple friends who make a small fortune trapping and selling wild hogs for slaughter.

Regarding eating carp + bones, correction: the issue is specifically that Americans + Canadians refuse to eat fish with bones. The rest of the world has no problem eating carp.

In 1992, Hurricane Andrew (Cat4) hit the Miami / Homestead area. All snakes at reserves, zoos, and privately kept were all swept inland with the tidal surge and landed in the Everglades. And here we are today.

One new-ish thing some people are trying is leaving out feed that has cotton seeds mixed in. Something in cotton seeds acts as a contraceptive in male pigs. Eating them makes the boars infertile for 4-8 weeks. Some people are reporting good results. It's only been a couple of years since people started doing the cotton seed thing. I hope it turns out to be an effective tool in the long term.

If it's really that bad for the pig problem then you need to have more Filipinos out there. We really do love lechon.

Correction, the feral hogs natural predator is actually the Texan.

My little great niece's family raised some pigs & she got in the pen & went to sleep. Her family was afraid & went to look for her. The sow ( mother pig) was nudging her out of the pen with her snout.the other pigs could have eaten her. She was lucky.

When the grid collapses, we will appreciate the hogs more than ever. They are our Potatoe, but with bacon bits included.

Best way to catch wild Pig is to dug deep ditch and put cashew nuts. This work 100%. In my region in India people are hunting effectively with this method from centuries😊

I am from Mississippi and Wild Hogs are not an issue. Maybe because we eat them they steer clear of our area

Bring them here in Philippines 😋 Lechon is waving💪

the fast growth rate and adaptability of pigs is why they were domesticated by humans so long ago in the first place

“These guys aren’t too picky!” They’re literally pigs i.e. gluttons i.e. they eat everything i.e. you’re right; they ‘aren’t too picky.’ -they’re too piggy.

We have wild boars too in the Philippines but they don't get so many of them because we eat them .

Came across a power plant in Utah where the fuel was decomposing pig carcasses. Carcasses were shedded and dumped into a covered tank. The gases were captured and compressed into a liquid. Piped to a power plant and used as fuel to power the turbines creating electricity. With EV vehicles coming, the need for power may create a need for hogs

The biggest dog doesn't scare me at all, but I would hate to face off against a feral pig.

i lived in Hawaii and we ate wild boar all the time. Now I live in Texas and i hear ppl complain about meat prices and feral hogs in the same breath....they are delicious, why are we not eating this?

I live in southern Louisiana and they are literally eating our coasts. We have no seasons and no limits, but it still isnt helping. We had a boar cone onto our land and killed 2 of our hubting dogs and we had to call wildlife and fisheries to try and find it so it wouldnt attack a child.

My dad ate a huge python in Vietnam. The first meat he’d had in a while. He said it was great. Tasted like chicken 👍
