South west Wisconsin has a problem with feral hogs -some brought from Texas and some local escapees. Causing some damage- law has decided that a small game license is all that nonlandowner needs to take them, landowner can shoot without license and tell DNR later. Was attempt at prosecution of exotic game ranch owner who supposedly brought hogs from Texas and turned them loose after some license was denied by state-- went to trial and not proven so he didn"t have to pay $$$ for control by state-- damage seemed to have been caused by other than his hogs, prosecution witness wasn"t competent, some of his accused hogs were still in pens, others had been sold and couldn"t be found but about 1/2 of missing were supposed to have been barbecued (others seemed to have escaped). Mississippi river valley is overwinter area as well as odd lot farm fields and brush on sloping grazing land- dairy farmers upset about rooted up pasture slopes. DNR test on some of carcass indicate mix of breeds including large European/Russian boar, Texas/Arkansas razorbacks, and English Large Whites, Durocs, Poland China(common to confinement operations). Few years back Mother got a young escapee from neighboring confinement operation, she put it in pen with couple other bottle runts from brothers open field litters and called the confinement outfit to get it-- they said once the hog escapes they can"t risk it bringing back infectious desease so she could keep it and any others she found that had wandered off from opened door in housing(?), so it seems to have happened more than once and confinement operations pretend that "feral" hogs aren"t related to theirs. Proper parboil or marinade of older ferals supposed to result in accepable eating, especially when paired with lots of beer or wine. RN
