Hog hunting ping!

They are a huge problem. I got my first AR a couple of years ago after figuring out I couldn't pop enough of them at one time with my lever action 30-30.

Sows and piglets are excellent table fare.

“Wouldn’t these make numerous tasty meals??”

If you like intestinal worms, maybe.

(Some people eat them: the New Mexican word for them is “idiot.”)

>> Feral Hogs are carriers of many diseases
>> worms

LOL! I don’t recommend the Feral Hog Sushi. You *do* have to cook ‘em before eating.

By the way, PETA* won’t approve of this hunting.
But PETA** is fine with it!

*that’s People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals
**that’s People Eating Tasty Animals

I would think if the meat were properly processed and cooked, worms and infections wouldn’t be an issue.

On many occasions, I have had meals of wild hogs from California...actually quite good.

Are these the same animal?

no, but the ones that do are now in horror now that their precious golf courses are being damaged.

Because until now, they would have been arguing for saving the boars while marching around with posters of little fuzzy boar cubs.

Case in point, the wolf hunting in Alaska that the liberals hate Palin for engaging in .... but just let a wolf be seen on their tennis court of golf course and they will be calling for wholesale extermination of the species.

Feral hogs are either Russian boars, domesticated pigs gone wild or a combination of the two.

In different regions they may be called wild boars, razorbacks, pineywoods rooters or woods hogs. Whatever the name, they have two things in common - they breed like rabbits and eat just about anything. They have a particular fondness for acorns and agricultural crops.

They’ve become a problem as far north as Wisconsin which has a “shoot all you want” policy.

“Are these the same animal?”

Genetically, sure. Environmentally, no.

There are a lot of worms and parasites that simply cannot survive in Canada, but do just fine in the hot swamps on the Gulf or the piney woods of East Texas.

I suppose if you cook things perfectly and do not cross-contaminate one drop of blood, you’d do fine.

IF, you do everything perfectly.
