The answer to the feral hog problem is obvious: train them to eat kudzu and chase liberals, thus using one problem to remedy two others.

Feral hog poacher is a misnomer. There is no designated feral hog season. They are not considered game animals and as hunting them on private property is o.k. long as hunters have the property owner’s permission. There are some rules regarding hunting them on wildlife areas but a hunting license is not required.

So I am going to assume the author means people have found a way to cook the hogs in a small amount of simmering water.

It’s pretty much always open season on hogs in FL. And boars can seriously hurt you. Tasty when cooked right. My fav is wrapped in foil, buried, fire built on top, slow cooked underground for 6-10 hrs. Ten-der.

Let me guess. The explorer the hogs escaped from was Hernando De Soto, right? If so, it’s one more thing that went wrong on his expedition.

Haven’t actually seen any hogs, but we’ve seen signs advertising hog hunts.

ONE solution to the “feral hog problem, which our family uses, is to hire a “hog hunter” who HAPPILY will work “on shares”.

“Our team” is MISTY & her husband THOMAS out of Southeastern OK, who trap the hogs, transport them to their farm, fatten the hogs & slaughter them for fresh pork.

Depending on the season, we then get a NICE-SIZED check for “our cut” 4-6 times each year.
(Our latest check for October thru January was about 700.oo.)

Note: I once said to my late mother, “I’d be happy if we got NO money, as long as the hogs are GONE.”
Mother said, “HUSH. You’re talking about my Christmas fund.”
(Being at least “HALF-smart”, I quickly HUSHED. = CHUCKLE.)

The Spanish also brought the greyhound/whippet and mastiff which interbred and became the Catahoula dog.

We’ve been battling hogs for many years here on the ranch, they’re on the shoot on sight, shoot as many as you can list. The days of the old 30-30 riding shotgun in the cowboys truck are over, now it’s AR platform rifles and 10 + round mags. I carry an AR 10 platform and 10 rd mag’s. Trying to a get an AR-10 quickly out the window or out of the truck is much easier with the short mag’s.

Open season on hogs in GA 12 months per year.

Hunted, killed and BBQ'd many a hog back in the 70's, when all I had to do was walk out the back yard, cross the creek and I was in the boonies. Now it's condo-farms and housing 'developments' as far as the eye can see.

The hogs are still here, though, as are the buzzards, armadillos, gators, etc., etc.

They’re an invasive species, they cause a lot of property damage and they’re tasty. Shoot on site.

I have friends here in rural central FL who are deeply into trapping and dressing/eating feral hogs, but I find it boaring

Oddly enough, one other place they are a problem is rural Japan. There, the Buddhist priests call them yamakujira 山鲸 meaning "mountain whale," in order to get around the usual pescatarian diet requirements at the local temples.
