Not immune. But... They WILL eat snakes. And, with the fat in/on them (hogs), they aren't affected by the venom. So hogs will take care of a snake infected area very quickly.


So the bite isn't getting into the bloodline?



I think it's more of the hide is too tough on older hogs to get good penetration for the bite. I've found that if you toss a dead hog out for the buzzards it will lay there for weeks, split the hide with a box cutter and it's gone in days. I recently killed a big sow and split her down the back from neck to tail and in less than 48 hours all that was left was bones.


"Cull" is just another four letter word...
