Let me start off by saying I know nothing about hunting hogs, or the raising of pigs.

I agree with you about getting rid of the feral hogs being a good thing. From what I have seen, I'll be able to hunt them in Maryland pretty soon.

I think you missed my point. If people are given enough money to do something, then they will do it pretty well. For instance, if a hog would bring in $50 a head, I think there would be plenty of interest. Now, the question is how many pig farmers would this put out of business.

Does feral hog taste just like regular pork, or is it vastly different? Could it be sold as a cheaper type of meat below regular pork? In essence, could there be a market for it? If there is a demand, people will supply it and find profitable ways to do so, whether it be rifles, helicopters, traps, B-52's, or whatever else.
