There was just a story on the news about feral hogs and how they change to wild in just one generation, they grow hair and tusks. 47 states now have this problem, from two or three.

In Europe, the governments allow permitted hunters to harvest these animals and submit them for inspection and they are sold as meat. We should do the same and create a market for wild boar.

We have a wild game harvesting industry here in Australia. Feral pigs, deer, camels, wallabies and roos are harvested for human consumption and the pet food industry. There is a licensing and accreditation process to ensure food safe standards. A majority of the Feral pig (re wild boar) is exported to Europe. However this market has slowed as the Europeans have invested a lot in there own wild boar resource. There is no market for feral pig here in Australia bar a few stalwarts with European heritage making sausage. I personally have tried it a few times roasted, particularly young sucker/weaners and have never been impressed with the gamy flavour.

We trap and shoot and catch hogs year round and cannot put a dent in the population.
Unless a boar is caught and cut, then allowed to fatten up, the meat ain't worth hauling out of the woods.

Cost more per lb to worm and fatten wild hogs for butchering than to buy pork at the store or purchase a domestic piglet and raise it for slaughter.

Same here in south AL. Once reduced to personal possession (killed) they are no longer considered a game animal, so it's perfectly legal to sell them. The only ones that are fit to eat though are under 60lbs, and you can only get 20-25 bucks for those dressed. It's not even worth it
