Re: Pig Hunting
I took a look at that list. Nobody in Harris or Galveston Counties. That's five million prospective diners off the list, at least in terms of convenience.

Re: Pig Hunting
Any idea why there's not more of a market for this product? We have 30 million people and 3 million feral hogs. It sounds to me like dinner needs to be served. They have those descending cages now that can trap a whole swarm of these buggers at one time. It seems like it could be made scalable and profitable for someone, maybe some little Mom and Pop outfit. I'd certainly be a buyer.Lynyrd wrote:Yeah, that happens sometimes with the dog hunters. If you are a land owner you hate it. We look at hogs the same as prairie dogs. They just tear up the land and cost us lots and lots of money. What little value the meat brings is maybe 1% of the cost of fixing their damage to the land. It makes me mad every time I kill a barr hog to know that somebody could have already killed him, and didn't.Interblog wrote:I've got no personal experience with this, but I've been told that, in some areas, the males are live-caught and castrated, and then their ears are notched and they are released. Future hunters can see the ear notch and realize that the meat will be of better quality due to the previous castration. Pay it forward, Texas-style.
