Bagged an emu back in the 90s. Not bad.

They ‘cook’ out fine. You’ve never harvested one. I’ve had over 300.

Not a game animal in Texas, don’t even need a license. Like elk, bear and goat.

... According to the Missouri Department of Conservation, all the current crop of feral hogs in Missouri were released by people who want to hunt them. They won’t be destroying their crops and woodlands, so what do they care?

You accused the poster, who was helping out his landowner friends, of being inconsiderate of landowners, which was rude.

Wherever they came from, they are there now. That is the issue. I doubt the poster deserves an iota of blame.

Southern states have a serious wild hog problem & HAVE HAD for some time.

People get paid good money to take them OUT—Dead or Alive. Meat is given to the poor people in the area. B B Q !!!

Texas/Arkansas in particular.

Very tasty.

The fact that you can hunt them makes them a game animal. If the government wanted to,it could require a license. Because hunting is a sport or game of sorts.

LOL! Suppressors are a joke! Been watching too many movies. If you knew anything about hogs, you would’ve abstained from that remark. A far more productive method is pneumatic rifles, and IR and/or thermal scopes.

Texas is over 75% private land. Hogs cost over 300 million in damage per year. Not a game animal. No license or tag required.

Bah! Simply cook them at higher temps to kill the parasites. You should be doing this even for corporation-farm hog products in the US. If you east sushi, these beauties are a cinch.

You apparently have no clue what a game animal is or hunting for that matter.

We whack em and stack em.

Whether an animal may or may not be hunted on private or public land, by the landowner or anyone else does not mean that it is or is not a game animal. If I want to shoot the squirrels in my yard, they are small game to me.

I live in Wisconsin. I know things, too. And I comprehend them.

I guess hogs aren’t that high on the meat list. You’d
think that the fall of the year would be a good time to
do a little butchering, sausage/ham/chops making for the
winter months that are coming. Or at least that is how
our family did it.

I think I saw "Super Pig" and "Hot Stuff" as a double feature at a drive-in in 1979.

Giant herds of wild boar, roaming the plains. The herds would go on for days. Then the White Man nearly wiped them all out.

Before we moved from the sticks, wife and I lived on wild hogs and beef.

When we moved to civilization, we bought some pork from the store. She literally puked unwrapping the pork loin. It did stink, but I could eat a meaunstrating polecat.
