"People who don't live with a problem should have NO say in how the problem is handled. EVER."
RIGHT ON GOB!
"Does feral hog taste just like regular pork, or is it vastly different?"
All I can speak for was the feral hog I ate at a bar-B-Que. Damn good but it did taste different. They cooked it hawaiin stlye buried in a pit with coals. YUM!
"Could it be sold as a cheaper type of meat below regular pork?"
Probably not. The threat of trichinosis (sp) from domestic pork is quite low but in the feral animal the threat of that disease is quite high. The admontion to cook the meat thoroughly goes triple digit here.
I saw a site a few days back where they had a "fill your freezer special" where you can take three cull deer and five feral hogs. The price wasn't too bad and I might give it another look see although I'm not sureI want that much pork. it would remeind me way too much of the Congress.
