It is that they are fun to shoot and if they run off after shooting you don't have to feel obligated to go find them and drag them out of the woods like a deer. With hogs their brethren will have every hair and bone eaten in a matter of a day or two.
I rid the world of two of them this afternoon and was proud to do it because I still hate them with a passion.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

People claim they are good to eat. Idk, I wouldn’t bother with them unless I was starving. My wife has a cousin that was a big pig hunter with dogs and he smoked a piglet for Easter one year and I wasn't impressed. Probably because the thing had been running from dogs and built up lactic acid in the meat but I thought it had a strong gamey taste. I suppose I need to try again to be fair. I think I'll start with a medium sized one, because I have no desire to fool with a big old nasty boar, and cut the backstraps out and try them. If they are good then maybe move up to hindquarters next or take it to Nichol's Processing and let them work their magic. They must do a good job because I took one there to donate last year and some guy was claiming it before I even got my tailgate down

A wild hog will eat anything, and I mean anything. Dont bleed out in a hog pen or you will never be seen again. I watched some feeder pigs I had years ago catch a chicken snake that was at least 5' long. They tore the poor snake to pieces and he was gone before I could even get close to try and save the snake. The snake was a regular in the corn crib and he did a good job on mice. We had a catfish pond "turn-over" once and did not see the fish until we had a large fish kill. We took a john boat and just scooped the dead fish up and took them to the pigs. All the fish were gone in a matter of a few minutes each time we unloaded the dead fish.
We were working on a fence around a hog pen once and left the crib door open where we had some hams curing. It only took about 5 minutes and they were trying to get the hams to eat. We saw what was about to happen and got them out before they got to another ham. The crib had 2 steps before reaching the crib's floor and the pigs walked up the steps like a dog. They are some of the smartest animals around and have a nose that is able to smell anything anytime.
I can't stand a thief.

I’m no pit master, but ribs off of a 80lb sow I killed were delicious. I cooked a small one whole last year and if you didn’t like it, you just didn’t like meat. It was just fall apart good barbq. You know how some people don’t like deer meat? Same thing. The wild pork I’ve cooked has been terrific . Mine are corn fed all season (no kidding) I’m sure that makes a dif vs one killed in Bankhead.
Everything woke turns to shucks

The ones I have trapped have been really good to eat. I have done the hams and the tenderloins. Soaked the tenderloin cut up in Italian dressing, and grilled, The hams were grilled and pulled apart for sandwiches God Bless, David B.

Everyone who’s eaten one I’ve cooked liked them.
Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!
