How good of eating are those feral hogs as compared to farm raised hogs?
The video states the feral pigs carry a lot of parasites and disease so sounds like a no go.
Boars not so much. Sows excellent! We usually roast’em over oak. Mighty fine!

You might be a true-blooded American if your first thought is “Yeah, but can I BBQ it?”.
:D
Sows taste the same. Boars have a distinct odor and flavor when cooked. It always reminded me of my dad’s dirty work shirts. It’s the testosterone.
There's nothing like a Bacon, Lettuce and Tannerite sammich.
They are delicious if prepared correctly. I like to give them a good bath to remove fleas/chiggers. Then the meat taken off the carcass is plunged into a vinegar-brine ice water mix for at least 24 hours, changing the mix until it is clear of blood. The brine pulls out blood and adrenaline and other nasties. (I once had a whitetail bruiser in the mix for 4 days, best venison I ever had). Then the pork goes into the freeze for at least another 24 as to help kill off anything else. Then, cook how you please. The small ones are the best (40 lbs and under). The big boars I leave laying.
My first thought too! I buy from a local farmer Heritage Hog pork, https://m.facebook.com/386308044799419/photos/a.387119478051609.85244.386308044799419/1084426521654231/?type=3&source=48
