I think Louisiana and Texas have year round hunting of feral hogs with the purchase of a hunting license. In the 1930’s my grandfather paid for his first home by trapping hogs in the Neches River bottom. He paid the carpenter with bacon. Hunters around my home love to hog hunt using traps and dogs. Some people feed out some of the hogs and eat the pork. Feral hog meat is very strong and I don’t like it. We don’t have very many PETA people around here.
The meat from an uncastrated mature boar is rank but the sows and shoats are excellent eating.
Just out hunting pigs today. Didn’t wind up seeing any but saw plenty of sign of them.
