We have enough wild hog population here, to assure it will never be eradicated.
Nobody smart gets in a pen or truck with wild hogs. No kind of protection can help you. Baby pigs? May be.
Russet hogs here often go over 400 pounds. We have made a lot of sausage out of some of them. They are very lean. I’d steer away from Large Boars, if you want to eat the meat they need preparation.
They are smart, It is legal to hunt them from the air in helicopters and that has not put the needed dent in their numbers.
All I can say good about wild hogs and raccoons? They both are know to eat rattle snakes. But the real snake killers are the Badgers. It is a big piece of their diet. I leave badgers alone. we have one who lives around our shops at the farm. No way would I run him off he devours too many snakes.
You’ll never eradicate them with hunting. You have to trap the entire sounder.
The problem is that there are people who don’t want the wild hogs eradicated and who interfere in trapping and import wild hogs into places where they don’t exist.
