Josey? Is that you?Incorrect.
Worms and buzzards need to eat too.
I have seen first hand the damage a sounder of feral hogs can do to crops in one night. A watermelon patch, cantaloupes, corn & green bean plots all destroyed. And this was not someones garden, rather a farm that grows produce to sell.The hunters around here ice down their hogs with salt in large coolers for up to 10 days before they process the meat. It's some of the best pork that I've ever eaten!
The point here is to not shoot them like rats and let them rot. That is damned good food!

When hogs hit the same places they get dragged off from where they drop. Few people want to eat a big old boar hog!

I predict numerous volunteers.Interesting article. It said that current status is you have to prove hogs are doing damage before you can shoot them without a license?
If hogs are around, the damage is obvious. I've been told you can't harvest the meat without a license, but your're free to shoot them, especially on your own or leased land.
Luckily they're leaving me alone for the most part, but if/when I get invaded, I'll be starting a thread here asking for eradication help.
The 60-90 lb'ers make great carnitas.

YEP & the "wee piggies" up to 60# dressed are GREAT going straight onto the smoker whole.

Not many people even know what 42 is now days.A Pig BBQ party is a great excuse to sit up overnight drinking beer, playing 42/poker & telling lies with your friends, btw.
