Without catching them and feeding them out, about the only thing you can do is make sausage with a good bit of seasoning in it, around these parts.

But, the government in its typical medling way, their fore thought is about the length of their fore skin, has put the boots to everyone, one more time, by not allowing processors to process the meat without a cert of health from a vet for every hog brought in.

We could a few years ago shoot a hog or trap one and load it right up then take it to the processor. He called in a day or two and job was done. Now you can not give a hog away because if you do not know how, or have your own equipment there is nothing that can be done with one. No vet is going to sign off on a wild hog unless he can get a log going on him, like a piece of livestock in quarenteen.

With no season and no limit we can just pile them up in FL .... but you will wear out a tractor digging holes to bury them in.

Oh, yes, a wild hog is not wonderful to eat either, that is just pure BS. They taste like the smell of a cross between an old rotten cypress log and a real nasty wet dog. Ever ate a coot before, I have, and the hog is worse. Your wife will throw a pure D jump up and down fit if you toss a piece of boar ham in a frying pan in her kitchen. Been there done that..... whew.

Right now they are across a small creek and a two lane highway from my farm. I dread the day I see evidence they are on my place. That is the day we go to war, sure nuff. I will use their carcases to bait coyotes and fertalize my pecan trees.
Best,
