Feral hogs in this state are infected with psudo-rabies. We are encouraged to shoot them and leave them for the buzzards.
But, if we get hungry enough, thee buzzards will have competition.
Is it or is it ain't rabies ?
Feral hogs are a plague in TX too. I have not heard about any diseases that they carry. I don’t pass up a chance to kill one, they are very damaging to crops.
We have a place at out farm that is set up to process wild game. Only family and friends use it, but it is well equipped.
There are a lot of indicators that food prices will get higher this year. Some because of drop in value of dollar, some from effects of drought and changing weather patterns (natural variation, not man made) and some due to cost push on production costs due to concentration in industries (anti-competitive regulation).
