Blessed Hope-Prepare To Fly!
Sure glad I don't live in California because I am a bacon lover. No bacon is pig slop!
Your description of the feral hog damage sounds like what I been hearing about the conditions in the large cities in California already. Only the hogs don’t use needles therefore they may be an improvement.Feral hogs do a lot of damage to crops, gardens, lawns, domesticated animals, etc. Their excrement stinks and pollutes the surface water, creating a health hazard to humans and pets.
They will charge if they feel threatened, and their tusks and hard plated heads can seriously injure, maim, or kill people, pets, and livestock.
They also require a well-aimed, well-placed, large caliber pistol shot to kill.
If a herd gets moving, forget it. Get out of the way. Fast.
They will also eat anything, including people, makes me look at my bacon a whole lot differently...Feral hogs do a lot of damage to crops, gardens, lawns, domesticated animals, etc. Their excrement stinks and pollutes the surface water, creating a health hazard to humans and pets.

I have killed feral hogs with my bow by stalking them. I have stalked them within 10 yards. They have poor eyesight but a very good sense of smell. Their downfall is also that nose. When they have it stuck in the ground rooting they don’t smell you. That is when you can sneak up on them. As soon as they raise that snout you stop until they stick it back in the ground. If you use the wind to your advantage you can walk right up to them.Feral hogs do a lot of damage to crops, gardens, lawns, domesticated animals, etc. Their excrement stinks and pollutes the surface water, creating a health hazard to humans and pets.

Regardless of the reason, more BACON and other pork products for the rest of us![]()

Also a well placed .22 caliber bullet will dispatch them. You do have to be careful though as they will charge you if you don’t leave them a way out. Most of the time they will flee from you.
They are very tasty, very lean meat. Their fat layers on the outside of the muscle, it doesn’t tend to marble in like domestically fattened hogs. They don’t make good bacon because of this. They cook up like lean pork chops or tenderloin, they make excellent sausage.
Here we trap them and feed them grain for a few weeks before slaughtering them. Many hunters here catch them with dogs, or hunt them at night with lights.
There is no closed season on them as they are a invasive nuisance species that do massive amounts of crop damage.
