We ate some of that wild hog in Texas and it was actually pretty good. We also saw farmers/Ranchers shooting deer, but just letting them lay instead of offering the meat for a good purpose.pidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14392703561667529032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-60223917706430917112010-10-31T10:09:24.756-05:002010-10-31T10:09:24.756-05:00Sounds like you're going 'hog wild' do...Sounds like you're going 'hog wild' down there in Texas, Judy!!Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523089898331291694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-62979444840372595472010-10-31T09:07:37.939-05:002010-10-31T09:07:37.939-05:00What a change from birds to hogs!

I went to her house to see these "show hogs" and went away not understanding why they were so muddy and dirty. My husband thought I was so stupid! Hey, I'm a city girl not a country girl.<br /><br />One of our neighbors here in Florida said wild hogs had torn up their back yard. I thought "wild hogs" was a motorcycle group.Margie and Rogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09778628815035344373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-82986628759650925042010-10-31T08:48:09.616-05:002010-10-31T08:48:09.616-05:00Pardon my dumb question, but are feral hogs the sa...Pardon my dumb question, but are feral hogs the same as Javelina??

They could sell permits and make some money rather than pay for helicopters and sharpshooters. What happens to the dead hogs? Someone would have to gather the carcasses it seems. Are they good to eat? I'm sure they were eaten years ago, but with our refined tastes may not any more.<br /><br />You have such an interesting job, and it is good to hear other sides to a problem than just one's gut reaction. In this case, my gut reaction is that it's barbarous, but then I've never given a thought to an alternative view.
