Don't blame you from hauling those nasty creatures off! BLEECH! 😖 You guys eat 'em if you want to. I've eaten quite a few and never got sick. Several years back, a neighbor killed two and left them laying in his pasture. Those things laid right there rotted away! Buzzards never touched them. I don't care to eat something that buzzards won't touch! Last edited by MartinStrummer; 03/30/23.

The damage looked like a harrowed field after a planting had been attempted. The hogs ability to root even stumps out of the ground puts them high on my hunt list. Getting to use a 99 to cull a few seems like a good fit. I used to only shoot shotguns and rimfires, then I made the mistake of getting a subscription to handloader.......

I don't know why Texas still has a hog problem. They are delicious! They are so good, I figured you guys would have eaten them all by now. Thoroughly enjoying Alaska since 2001.

Trichinosis is a real thing! These hogs eat anything they can get their snouts on. Store bought pork is a safer bet.

My wife loved shopping for them. She likes one that with head and legs cut off would fit in a 48 qt. Igloo. We have had more than a few BBQed whole. If you’re expecting wild hogs to taste like store bought they don’t. Wild hogs pretty much keep the fat run off. They also feed on different food than domestic.
