Doesn't sound like a bad job to have.

It’s a hairy job. Texas has a lot.
Pigs are smart, fast and always pissed off.

From what I understand you are going to wish they tasted better than they do.

A colleague in Northern California hunted wild boar a lot. His butcher always ground up the hog meat with other less gamey meats to make it edible. I tried a sample of his sausage once and it wasn’t bad. Not great, but not bad.

Like many other animals, a young one, not so bad. They get older and are best turned into dog food.

I always thought that would probably be the best way. Season the heck out of it, add lard, and make sausage out of it ALL.

Someone shared that it also depends on what they are eating locally. :)

I’ve watched YouTube videos of a few Australian guys hunting coyotes at night. Gotta be a good shot, though.

I’m a little surprised David Ellis’s (yawt yawt) youtube channel wasn’t in that article. Lot’s of hog hunting and trapping there.

I am sure it was better than bugs.

Wild hog is not as tasty as the bacon you buy in the store for sure but it is cheaper. I don’t care for it much myself but I’ll help to reduce the population here in my state. Pass the meat off to another person who would appreciate it.
You need to be very careful not to contaminate the meat when skinning them too. I think they have to be certified if you get your harvest processed by a company.

They are messy and stinky to clean and butcher
Decent meat though

The problem with wild boar is often that while one farmer wants to get rid of them, their neighbors make money off of boar hunts, thus incentivized to have more boar roaming around.

Like Democrats with illegal alien invaders.

I have eaten wild pig as barbeque, chops, and roasts. All of it was excellent. Tends to be much leaner than commercial pork.

My experience is limited to about five or six pigs over the years.

They bring a quite pronounced ‘gamey’ taste.
We find the hams are most tolerable when baked/roasted/smoked with apple.
The rest of it ain’t good for much, IMO.
Except for the head mounts hanging on the wall. They always spark a bit of converstion.
