I believe these hogs aren’t suitable for human consumption. If they are, it’s the equivalent of consuming carp.

The males would have boar taint. (taste bad) The sows would be OK but a lot of them are filled with parasites. I wouldn’t eat them.

Actually their quite tasty, especially the ones between 50 to 75 lbs.

"aren't suitable for human consumltion"

Prior to the reign of Hussein O. feral hog market to meat processing plants paid very well.

The best live weight of 150-250 lbs paid up to $2.75 lb.

The processing plants market was Europe export.

There was a small processor around Paris (Texas y'all) that specialized in smoked hams and bacon.

Nope. Compared to farm-raised pork, they are the equivalent of consuming wild salmon. They taste much better.

You would be incorrect in that assumption. They tend to be leaner and make good ham cuts and sausage. Many get a diet of grains during the growing season and especially now with corn everywhere to bait deer. My family is hunting them 5 nights a week in Texas with great success.
