Several southern states now allow wild hogs to be sold to slaughter houses. Only restriction is they must be delivered alive for USDA inspection at the slaughter house. I have a couple friends who make a small fortune trapping and selling wild hogs for slaughter.
Good, they’re pests. If some people can make some cash getting rid of destructive wild hogs then even better! Texas has a gigantic wild hog problem. Seen some videos showing the destruction they cause to crops and the land. Was surprised at how destructive just a few can be, can’t imagine what thousands can do. Props to your friends for trying to take care of this problem.
I live in Germany. Here wild boar are hunted and consumed. They actually taste like good quality 'standard' pork. Before I stopped eating pork for religious reasons, I ate them too. Better to eat them than to waste them I guess.
I'm not trying to be a hater or any kind of conspiracy but I wonder why the USDA once them delivered alive is it to put some kind of antibiotic or who-knows-what maybe testing I'm just curious but I love the idea selling their they're me its really good especially the bacon
@@estevan4928 probably disease testing plus if they do find something they would have the information of where the hog came from to know for later(sick herds spreading disease and such).
One new-ish thing some people are trying is leaving out feed that has cotton seeds mixed in. Something in cotton seeds acts as a contraceptive in male pigs. Eating them makes the boars infertile for 4-8 weeks. Some people are reporting good results. It's only been a couple of years since people started doing the cotton seed thing. I hope it turns out to be an effective tool in the long term.
Cotton seeds ? That sounds really fascinating . I wonder what's in there that acts like a contraceptive, especially in males . Something like estrogen, like in beer or soy products ? I think I found another rabbit hole to go down.... Edit: spelling mistake, though there are likely more.
Yep the book Charlotte's Web is a good intro to this. The family's a farming family, they bought a piglet in the spring, the "runt" so it was cheaper, and the pig (Wilbur) got the family's leftover food each day along with general animal feed. This is what people would often do. You got a piglet and thus had an animal to feed your food scraps to, the pig would grow through the year, then around Christmas or so, you'd slaughter the pig and have had your year's worth of food scraps turned into delicious pork. Of course this didn't happen in Charlotte's Web because it was a story for Boomers and Boomers are scared by reality.
Regarding eating carp + bones, correction: the issue is specifically that Americans + Canadians refuse to eat fish with bones. The rest of the world has no problem eating carp.
@@JBplumbing12 depends on the area it comes from. If from a clear river with rocky, sandy and not swampy muddy bottom, it's just as good as the big mouth/small mouth bass from the same area.
@@tkjho Interesting. Here in Australia, the European carp tend to muddy the waters, so the better eating predatory fish such as trout which rely on clear water soon decline.
In 1992, Hurricane Andrew (Cat4) hit the Miami / Homestead area. All snakes at reserves, zoos, and privately kept were all swept inland with the tidal surge and landed in the Everglades. And here we are today.
Best way to catch wild Pig is to dug deep ditch and put cashew nuts. This work 100%. In my region in India people are hunting effectively with this method from centuries😊
Here in Czech Republic we have a long tradition of farming carp in big fish ponds. Carp is considered a Christmas fish and every December we have lots of carp markets where you can buy live carp and have them in your bathtub until you kill them and eat them on the Christmas Eve. The meat is not bad but compared to salmon or trout it's trash and has a lot of big and small sharp bones. The bones fall off the spine and you have to pick them 1 by 1. Most people I know have switched to salmon for Christmas.
The reason most people wont eat fresh water fish like carp is because they're bottom cleaners basically so they are considered "dirty" I've ate carp farmed from a pond and it was surprisingly good if you dont mind the bones
Shit man try turkey lol its a way better option. My wife hates that I love it so much but carp for Christmas I might fight somebody over that lol joking
Came across a power plant in Utah where the fuel was decomposing pig carcasses. Carcasses were shedded and dumped into a covered tank. The gases were captured and compressed into a liquid. Piped to a power plant and used as fuel to power the turbines creating electricity. With EV vehicles coming, the need for power may create a need for hogs
@@pixpusha the dead pigs came from a hog farm operation. The operation is massive, imagine about a mile or more road with four large buildings holding hogs. Every set of buildings is 200 yards apart all along this stretch of road. And the sets of four buildings also go a quarter of a mile back on both sides of the road. We’re talking about millions of hogs. Some of the hogs are going to die accidentally, and the carcasses are placed outside away from the buildings. Truck stops by to pick up carcasses and haul them to the plant. But that’s not all they do. They also collect all the excrement and run it through a treatment program before mixing it big field with top soil used as fertilizer. So they make bacon, electricity, and fertilizer.
i lived in Hawaii and we ate wild boar all the time. Now I live in Texas and i hear ppl complain about meat prices and feral hogs in the same breath....they are delicious, why are we not eating this?
if your pork meat have a piss odour when cooking or frying it means that it come from male pig that wasn't castrated. This odour very common in UK because Castration in pigs is not widely practised in the UK and is prohibited under current Assured British Pigs Farm Assurance Standards 😀 It is however standard practice in other parts of the EU and outside the EU.
One of the tastiest fish dinners I ever had was carp, it was scored about 1/8 inches apart and deep fried, apparently that dissolves the bones and I did not find one.
Growing up growing up on a farm when I was younger if my father wanted a piece of land cleared the underbrush Ali going to cut the trees down or whatever he would fence it off and then put domesticated pigs in there and they will literally eat everything do eat leaves grass small trees daylily route the ground so you can see the roots of the bigger trees that are there so my father wouldn't have to go in and cut or remove any of the undergrowth before he cut any trees down if he did it all sometimes he just wanted it cleared off the underbrush so he just left it in there for a month or so they eat everything
“These guys aren’t too picky!” They’re literally pigs i.e. gluttons i.e. they eat everything i.e. you’re right; they ‘aren’t too picky.’ -they’re too _piggy._
Hunters are fine, poachers can all die and the animal kingdom would be just fine. Hunters do more for conservation than any group like PETA has ever done. The revenue from permits and tags goes towards protecting the animals and their habitats. I’m a gun owner but don’t hunt. Have nothing against it at all as long as you do it legally and don’t waste anything. Fresh meat is far healthier than the supermarket food that’s been pumped full of antibiotics, growth hormones, preservatives and who knows what else. Fishing is also great for conservation. Poachers re just hunters that don’t follow the law…. They can all walk off a cliff as far as I’m concerned.
Yeah and no, and if you think the money hunters pay to kill and pose with a dead elephant, or lion, etc. goes to “preserving the animals”…that is fairly naive. Of course they say that, but mainly, the money goes into the pockets of people arranging the hunt, with only a token amount to conservation. And I am fine with hunting if it’s a clean kill, and if the meat is used, and the population is too large for the food supply, and done in the right season and the right age/gender is culled, etc…..but that is a lot of “ifs” ….and doubt those are done most of the time. Even if the hunter wants to, they will eventually miss and end up with a buck running off with a cross bow embedded in its shoulder, to slowly die of infection in pain, with the meat only used by scavenger animals, who were going to get it anyway. And can’t prove it, but I suspect only a minority of hunters use the meat to eat, and either leave the carcass after taking pics and maybe the horns, or stick it in their freezer for years, before throwing it out due to “freezer burn.” And don’t think there is any hard evidence that “fresher” meat improves people’s health, and wild animals are teeming with parasites that can be transmitted to people, including through meat and it’s processing.
@@Itried20takennamesI’ve been surrounded by hunters my whole life. The game wardens are on people all the time checking permits and kills. so hunters are very particular about their kills. And if it’s too much meat, they have people to give it to. If a hunter makes a bad shot, most will hike for hours to find the animal. And they will practice aiming far more so it doesn’t happen again. Hunting also helps keep populations healthy by mixing up the gene pools. Predators generally take the sick, old, and young. You do a lot of assuming.
@@Itried20takennamesyoure assuming so much its painful. just about everything you said is false. you assume most hunting is trophy hunting, which isnt true. if done legally, yes, it goes into much needed conservation efforts, and helps keep the population in check. most people eat or share their kills, and the amount of animals they can kill is heavily regulated. harvesting yout own protein is also far more environmentally and ethically friendly than eating mass farmed meat. its much better for the environment than if no one hunted. also, even trophy hunting is good sometimes, as it clears up older males whose presence is not needed, allowing younger males to have a chance. you should probably look into the benefits of hunting more, *you* seem naive.
Because you wanted to or had to? My dad did survival training with the Air Force in Puerto Rico and they were given no food and they caught snakes and ate it and he said it was food but nothing he wanted to eat again
Government: Why do you need a magazine with a 20 round capacity? Citizens: Ever see how many hogs are in a herd? Ever see how they scatter and run when the shooting starts?
I've noticed that city, private zoos mostly feed their predators chicken, even private exotic pet owners. Maybe switch from mostly chicken and hunt down these pigs and feed them that. It'll help the population problem and none of the pigs deaths will go to waste. If you think about it one Lion eats 80lbs of meat a week, just one, and there are 1000s of Lions in zoos across the U S not to mention other predators in zoos.
In my experience when pig carcasses are left "exposed" the wildlife doesn't seem to be real interested in consuming. A zoo animal that had no choice might eat them but the coyotes and buzzards left them laying. Bears weren't interested either.
@@patfal1514 I rescued three Pumas because some ass hat hunter shot their mother and I fed them wild hog sometimes. Also fed them chicken, turkey, beef, dear, elk, and fish too, which is why I figured that might work.
I live in southern Louisiana and they are literally eating our coasts. We have no seasons and no limits, but it still isnt helping. We had a boar cone onto our land and killed 2 of our hubting dogs and we had to call wildlife and fisheries to try and find it so it wouldnt attack a child.
Damn. Im up here in Central Louisiana and was working for a tree service. Me and the boss man was coming from a quote on a job and come around a curve and hit 2 big hogs going 50. We got out to load em up and I swear 20 freaking hogs come out the woods and tried to attack us. They was wanting to eat the 2 dead hogs. We hauled our butts with the one we loaded up and got back to town and the damn hog came back to life (boss had put one in its skull earlier with 22) and jumped out the damn truck going 50mph. Them things are hard to kill and very aggressive.
The first time I'd ever heard of Pit Bull dogs was when I was about 8 years old- over 50 years ago. A man who lived in my grandparents' trailer park in Florida had 2 Pitties he took boar hunting.
@@MJIZZEL where you at in Central LA? I lived in Natchitoches for 2 years and Bossier/Haughton for 8.5 years. And yea, the hogs up that way are bad. So are black bears believe it or not lol
@@mirandadowings31 I’m in Pineville outside of Alexandria. My buddy was hunting about 10 miles east of here and walked up on a bear last season. He scared it off but that’s was first time he seen one in those woods on 25 years hunting those woods.
As many wild hogs we got down south its crazy how good they are at avoiding people. I'm 22 and I've only seen one adult that was shot by my grand dad and that thing was MASSIVE and then I saw some on a back road at night last year 🤷♂️
Earlier this year I was out for a late night drive & spotted a group of ~10 (adults & piglets) walking through a nearby neighborhood (Houston Tx suburb). I was tempted to try taking one with a bow I had in my car, but it was a residential area (know beyond your target) & I didn’t want to risk the group charging me with just my bow (~16 arrows all with field/target points). I think I saw a news video about them on security cameras later that week. Ps: I’m 24, started hog hunting ~14, seen many hogs hunting farm land north of Houston
Joe Biden and crew have declared 100% war on humanity. The extreme storms and heat are no accidents either. We know they can manipulate weather. Anyone who isn`t aware of this scientific fact is living in ignorance deliberately.
That's the government working on being the only food supplier. They have ruled and lawed many small farmers out of business that means there are less people to control over food, watch and they will soon make it illegal to grow you own gardens. They will say because they are selling it to others.

I live in Texas and the boar's here are RIDICULOUS! They have ZERO fear of human's, even standing in roads not looking up at cars or moving when honked at..they're big enough to kill you if you drive into one..I was driving on a back road in the countryside and couldn't tell what was up ahead..it didn't register in my brain til I got closer..it was a wild boar that was the literal size of a cow, just with short legs..a cow people! Growing up my friend's and I would go hiking and fishing every day during the summer..we would take machetes in case we crossed any poisonous snakes..if I had any idea stuff that viscous existed I wouldn't have been so brave 😳
I’m from Houston Tx and I started learning to hunt hogs at ~13 years old. Typically I see wild hogs when I help a couple farmers hunt their land (~1.5 hours north of Houston), but earlier this year I was out for a late night drive (insomnia) & saw a group of ~10 in a suburb across the freeway from my house. There was even a news report with security camera footage of the destroying a year’s & squaring up with a car….absolutely insane “little” beasts!!!
@@LimeLivesMatter Pull a cow fresh off the pasture and butcher it up and eat it. A cow will keep the wild onion in her meat for more than a week, even taken off the pasture and fed grain.

In India, upper Northern state Punjab has same problem. They destroy corn fields, unfortunately the Govt animal wildlife act doesnt allow to kill the wild pigs and their population keep growing. If anyone hunt, then police arrest them, farmers are helpless.
*"How to kill feral pigs?"* Has anyone thought about systematically flooding pig-infested farmland, and then purposefully electrocuting it with a high voltage electricity??? The conductive mineral, especially with the pigs plowing and upturning the soil could help with the electric-conductivity! 🐗☠️⚡
@@GreenCanvasInteriorscape They are protected under the Wildlife Protection. From last few years govt allows to kill hogs, however, you need a permit and a gun. Follow strict law. It is a mess. The Small farmers cannot follow the protocol. It is not easy. You need a one year permit which takes a lot of effort to obtain.
Had a big problem in WV with feral hogs. The dept of Agriculture was put in charge of control. There is no limit to how many or methods used at present to get rid of them. We killed and ate plenty.... nothing really wrong with the meat unless its an older boar. There was some testing done around the state and no diseases were found that would prevent eating. We ate the younger ones when possible (40-75 lbs.) However no real progress was achieved to get the numbers down until they started using some more aggressive means.
Hunters that can afford time off work and gear to hunt them are rich kids. Rich kids are lazy and not work a fuck at getting problems solved. The guy sitting in the truck on the phone at the jobsite is the guy that can afford to hunt.
Wild pigs,mini bulldozer 😂😂..I love that you make us laugh & educate us at the same time.. I knew wild pigs could be destructive but I didn't realise just how destructive wow.. Have a fantastic day & Take care 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I live in east Tennessee and these wild boar are so good to eat. They are also amazing target practice just hate hunting at night you can only do it in private property. Makes it a bit hard to hunt them. But it's smart to not shoot off into the dark of night not knowing what's beyond your target it's part of the safety of owning and or using a gun.
Hey, bud! Greeneville over here, how ya livin'? You are 100% on the preferable taste to mainstream farmed pork. The wild hog taste is very similar to the way we used to raise and process our own pork from back in my youth, around 40 years ago. Modern pork bought from grocery stores has much of the fat(and by consequence taste) bred out of it for the sake of eating healthy.
@@cal4111 You should try the female of the species. As with most meats, the testosterone can ruin the flavor. This is the reason that pigs raised for slaughter way back were "clipped" long before their "end date" to avoid this problem.
I know a farmer who had a pig problem, the pigs were coming under his fences, from the neighbouring forestry block. You could see where they had dug just enough and were squeezing under the wire in narrow trenches. They had multiple places they had got under the fences, and no point trying to do anything about it, because they just move further along the wire and try again. So he brought a dozen kitchen knives, sharpened the tips razor sharp, and went and buried them into the bottom of the trenches, and left three inches sticking up. When he would see pigs in his paddocks, he would drive up to that part of the farm with a rifle, shoot one, and all the others would dash full speed to their escape spots. He watched three go through the same spot one after the other, and run away up into the forestry land bleeding like firehoses.
@@Dave-ty2qp I would say that it worked. It takes time to dig holes so if there escapes are lined with knives and they decide not to go in, they will all get picked off easily by the farmer.
There are only so many open fields in that peninsular, and in the forestry running down the mountain spine are a lot of feral pigs, turkeys, geese, goats and even some wild peacocks. The farm runs beef cattle, and one of the things the pigs do is go around the two or three day old cow-flops, because they always have a lot of worms under them ( the more you know ) So, no, the pigs kept coming, I know because the farm has some cottages along the shore, that they lease out to fishermen. My older brothers have been using one of them for 25 or 30 years, so the farm family lets them hunt on the farm. A young Peacock is actually reasonable good eating it turns out. Some of the paddocks have small creeks that run up into the mountains, the creek sides are heavily grown with scrub. I was there once, on the shore beside one of the creeks, and someone fired a shotgun up further in the farm, and 11 pigs barrelled out of the other side of the creek and up over the hill away from me. They had been laying up in the scrub for the afternoon, and listening to me walk along the beach, and thought I might start shooting. So if there were 11, and those were just the oones I could see, you can't see anything LIKE the whole of any of the paddocks because of how hilly the farm is ( and they were just the ones who panicked and ran, there are always pigs and other ferals that are cautious and don't run, so maybe there were another 11 laying still ) in just one of the creek-beds, and the farm has about a dozen creeks . . . In wet weather, the pigs get into paddock after paddock and just destroy the pasture, it honestly has to be seen to be believed how much grass and turf a dozen pigs will root up in one night. I am trying to think of an analogy for the damage . . . it looks like some demented bulldozer with a broken blade has gone mad. @@Dave-ty2qp
They call that bleeding like a stuck hog. But trust me, from an old hog farmer, nothing short of a good shot from a rifle/firearm is going to stop them. Swine, in general, are the toughest animal on the North American Continent. I've seen hogs, and even pigs, that have suffered injuries that would have killed any other animal I can think of, and a year later, I couldn't hardly find a scar. And they don't call them 'pig headed' for nothing. The only way you will keep hogs out of your fields, is to provide them a better feed source, or kill them off. 🙋🐷
Because the ones that can tolerate our presence are the ones that can take advantage of our resources, our farmland and homes, and breed quickly enough, so we see them as a nuisance. While the ones that don't take advantage of the resources humans provide are struggling with the loss of their habitat. Basically humans replace wilderness with farmland, but then we get annoyed when the animals adapt to us, and sad when they can't adapt to us and go extinct. Damned if they do, damned if they don't.
Karp is a dish often served on Christmas Eve still acrossa lot of states in Europe. And as said ( I am sure it will be said ) other fish also live in brackish water (aka "dirty water" for most people ) like a lot of fish the US citizens love live in the same conditions too ! Salmon even caught fresh can have lot's of tapeworms and are used in the oh so beloved Sushi - if not frozen properly over a specific period of time ... So I'd rather eat thoroughly cooked Carp than raw Sushi, from a place I have never been bevore / barely know and one mistake can mess me up completely. S.o. with tapeworm infestation can develope a severe Vitamin B ( most of all B 12 and B1) deficiency to the point of neurological issues and memory loss that can even present like Korsakov Syndrome (often found in long term alcoholics) or present as a neurodegenerative disorder. NO thanks. Nothing raw or bloody . Or half bloody. We learned to make fire only to be fancy enough to not use it now.....
@@bitkrusher5948 I meant there was definitely a time where it became increasingly popular to eat sushi ( in the west), not that it is a fancy dish in on itself. Around the same time when more and more food delivery apps popped up and were heavily advertised and when more and more "influencers" posted every cracker they ate in a day , decorated with sesame seeds and watercress....
Buffalo fish here in America have the tiny bones like carp. If you filet the meat off, then slice through the skin and rip the meat into chunks, you can then fry it and pull the meat off the bones. During the Great Depression men would catch thousands of pounds of carp and buffalo and the women would can them. This softened the bones. Churches distributed the canned fish to those who needed food.
Carp is not for mass consumption? Tf? We Indians especially Bengali people eat carp or any fish every day lunch, we are the people who don't mind a few bones just to get sweet meat of hilsa fish and compared to the bones of hilsa fish, carps can't even hold a candle.😂
I eat all fish after living in Asian countries. I don't understand what US Americans have against carp (and lots of other fish as well). They taste good. Pretty much all fish tastes good, as far as I have tried, and is also permissible in most religions and cultures.

In Munich (Germany) we have several forests and in at least one of them feral pigs are living and it is a pleasure to see them. Fences can hold them quite good. Just have to build the right ones and give them enough space ;) Of course for pop-cap hunters are needed. But that is a given.
I don't know for feral pigs, but wild boars in a zoo just dig the concrete of their fence, which has to be remade every spring. So not sure you can easily fence them.
my grandpa, a farmer mixed glass shards into the concrete of his pig's den! They can't bite or scratch through this material. And the rats can't do either, to come in and feed on the pigs' food!
Some UK places have put signs up along the canals 'No Carp Fishing' with a pictogram man running away with a carp under the arm. This is because certain diversity groups are taking them to eat.
@@terencejay8845it would be a good idea if carp fishing was permitted, and the British eating them alongside the immigrant groups, as it would reduce the dependency on sea fish.

This situation is the result of farmers who shot anything that looked at their livestock over a centaury, they effectively removed the predators and instantly promoting little piggy to "Daddy pig". Unfortunately the justification was and still is that the farmers will loose everything if the predators are not removed. Now do you understand that each and every creature has a purpose and we should seek to find a solution where we can keep things in balance.
Not sure how it is now but I moved to GA in 2015 and immediately got my hunting license for deer, you can hunt hogs there year round and there was no bag limit. I never did see one but I did bag a monster 10 point buck my first year there.
And this is why Australia doesn't want to allow people to import or keep exotic species. Only a matter of time before they end up in the wild and causing enormous harm to the local species and even to communities. Imagine an invasion of venomous snakes. It would not be pretty.
Whenever I see something like this my first thought is always "why don't they just eat them?" Boar is delicious, for one thing. As for the carp and python, you can probably make it tasty. It's my firm belief that you can turn almost anything into a tasty dish with the right preparation. You just have to experiment a bit to find that (or those) mode(s) of preparation that works.
@@kriskulczynski8957 If you're referring to boar meat being dangerous if not prepared/handled correctly, I took that into account. Wild boar is a fairly common game meat here in northern europe. And elsewhere, I would reckon. Like the video said; boars (and really all species of pig) are clever, breed like crazy and can survive almost everywhere. I doubt you'd need to treat these pigs much different in terms of turning them into food. As for the carp and python, my original comment stands. And I've seen some videos here on youtube where they manage to make decent food out of python meat. Though it isn't easy and it is a tough meat to work with. I'm just generally averse to wasting resources and neglecting the ecology around us. If we can manage to control or even wipe out an invasive species simply by eating it, that'd be ideal as far as I'm concerned. When there are no natural predators, it's up to us to be that predator.
@@kriskulczynski8957 Wild boar meat in Europe is popular as it tastes really good. Carp is a popular sport fish and is eaten. There are predators in the lakes that keep the numbers down. Snakes are probably worth a miss. So not a stupid comment at all.
Just a quick note about the 'feral pigs' segment. YES YOU CAN fence pigs in. We raised pigs when I was a boy, and a single wire ELECTRIC fence did a remarkably effective job of containing pigs. In fact, we only turned the fence on every week or so, after one of the pigs would get out. After the juice comes back on, and two pigs get a shock, word spreads, and you can unplug the fence for another week or so. Can't believe someone hasn't figured this out somewhere.
My little great niece's family raised some pigs & she got in the pen & went to sleep. Her family was afraid & went to look for her. The sow ( mother pig) was nudging her out of the pen with her snout.the other pigs could have eaten her. She was lucky.
I keep hearing about future food issues. If that happens well be happy to have all that food. Even if it isnt quite as good. Youd be surprised what youll eat when you get hungry enough
You just have to know how to butcher & prepare wild hog meat correctly, which goes for any wild animal. You can Google the correct procedure for slaughtering/butchering just about any animal. Look up "Louisiana wild meat cooking" channels for some good recipes, & there's a few old recipe books from LA that are still treasured today.

Pertaining to the bones in carp... When I buy canned salmon, it has plenty of bones in it, but they are soft and easily chewed. Even what I assume to be the spine. I've always assumed the soft bones come from pressure cooking the salmon before canning it. However it's done, if they can do it with salmon, why can't they do it with carp? I'm asking seriously.
Love your channel. The open seasons on hogs causing the spread of them is not proven. It MIGHT be a cause, and if it is, it's a relatively unique effect specifically for hogs. They need to be killed....in mass. How that is accomplished is up for debate.
Didn’t Australians with machine guns lose a “war” to unarmed (literally) emus….. Also, I’ve seen videos of people shooting hogs with full auto rifles & machine guns from helicopters & barely make a dent in the population…..if you guessed Texas, you’d be correct!
When the Democrats and uniparty accomplish their goal of collapsing society. The hogs are going to be pretty much the only thing will be able to eat. Besides each other that is.
The first map of the hogs showed them here in New Brunswick Canada. What the h€ll. We have no wild pigs. The second map was of the USA. First map was Canada.
I’ve killed 100’s of wild hogs on my farm in North Carolina. I give most of the meat away. I even dress and quarter the hogs for people because while most people can’t handle a whole hog, they will happily come pick up a shoulder, ham, or loin. However, I never give a piglet away. That’s the best hog meat you’ll ever put in your mouth. I like them about the size of a big cat. Lol IDK but I may be the only hog hunter in the world that brags about how little the pigs I kill are.
Lol i like how he says hunting hasnt ever removed a population. European wolves would greatly disagree among many other species through the world. I do agree that other resources need to be included especially for invasive species, but the problem is always greatly increased due to greed.
Wolves will have one litter of 3-5 cubs a year, and it will often be just the "alpha" female of the pack. Pigs, we're talking 2 litters a year of 8-12 or more, plus in a herd the boar's got a few sows and they're all having litters.
I like the idea of these companies offering hunting pigs by helicopter. They can cover a lot of ground and shoot them on the fly. It is expensive, but I am sure there are a lot of people that would find that to be fun. Please have more hog hunts.

Props to your friends for trying to take care of this problem.
I live in Germany. Here wild boar are hunted and consumed. They actually taste like good quality 'standard' pork. Before I stopped eating pork for religious reasons, I ate them too. Better to eat them than to waste them I guess.
Would totally buy their meat
I'm not trying to be a hater or any kind of conspiracy but I wonder why the USDA once them delivered alive is it to put some kind of antibiotic or who-knows-what maybe testing I'm just curious but I love the idea selling their they're me its really good especially the bacon
@@estevan4928 probably disease testing plus if they do find something they would have the information of where the hog came from to know for later(sick herds spreading disease and such).
One new-ish thing some people are trying is leaving out feed that has cotton seeds mixed in. Something in cotton seeds acts as a contraceptive in male pigs. Eating them makes the boars infertile for 4-8 weeks. Some people are reporting good results. It's only been a couple of years since people started doing the cotton seed thing. I hope it turns out to be an effective tool in the long term.
That's really fascinating. Keep them on it long term till they die out. Imagine if they adapt to counter that. Pigs are amazing animals
Not so funny thing is there's cottonseed oil in a whole bunch of America's foods. Listen up guys!
Cotton seeds ? That sounds really fascinating . I wonder what's in there that acts like a contraceptive, especially in males . Something like estrogen, like in beer or soy products ? I think I found another rabbit hole to go down....
Edit: spelling mistake, though there are likely more.
They should create a virus, or a genetic mutation. Then let the hogs go into the wild.
@@racewayrenee8428 the gossypol is removed during the refining process of the oil. (Most of it anyway)
the fast growth rate and adaptability of pigs is why they were domesticated by humans so long ago in the first place
Yep the book Charlotte's Web is a good intro to this. The family's a farming family, they bought a piglet in the spring, the "runt" so it was cheaper, and the pig (Wilbur) got the family's leftover food each day along with general animal feed. This is what people would often do. You got a piglet and thus had an animal to feed your food scraps to, the pig would grow through the year, then around Christmas or so, you'd slaughter the pig and have had your year's worth of food scraps turned into delicious pork. Of course this didn't happen in Charlotte's Web because it was a story for Boomers and Boomers are scared by reality.
We from Africa lack this free meat. If we have this opportunity, we will not eat anything else except wild pig meat...
@@elvisroyfm5888pigs are unclean and eat even dead bodies. You do not need this type of meat there.
Regarding eating carp + bones, correction: the issue is specifically that Americans + Canadians refuse to eat fish with bones. The rest of the world has no problem eating carp.
Bones are not the issue; carp are a muddy distasteful fish.
All fish have bones. Americans love fish, at least fish that taste good.
I'm American and agree. I don't like fish with a lot of bones. Hell, I'll only eat boneless chicken feet.
@@JBplumbing12 depends on the area it comes from. If from a clear river with rocky, sandy and not swampy muddy bottom, it's just as good as the big mouth/small mouth bass from the same area.
@@tkjho Interesting. Here in Australia, the European carp tend to muddy the waters, so the better eating predatory fish such as trout which rely on clear water soon decline.
In 1992, Hurricane Andrew (Cat4) hit the Miami / Homestead area. All snakes at reserves, zoos, and privately kept were all swept inland with the tidal surge and landed in the Everglades. And here we are today.
andrew was a cat 5 when it hit homestead.
sooo true im born and raised in Palm beach Island..
To say _all_ snakes were swept inland is a bit of a stretch.
If it's really that bad for the pig problem then you need to have more Filipinos out there. We really do love lechon.
Best way to catch wild Pig is to dug deep ditch and put cashew nuts. This work 100%. In my region in India people are hunting effectively with this method from centuries😊
You should post up a video, maybe Americans can learn from it.
Thanks for the intel. 🙏🇮🇳❤✨
@@leeyang5763 Americans have a very bad habit of thinking they can handle it their way only to bring about global ruin.
have to give that a try
cashew nuts is a high priced item in the USA, maybe use acorns instead, Iberian pigs are fed on acorns.
Here in Czech Republic we have a long tradition of farming carp in big fish ponds. Carp is considered a Christmas fish and every December we have lots of carp markets where you can buy live carp and have them in your bathtub until you kill them and eat them on the Christmas Eve. The meat is not bad but compared to salmon or trout it's trash and has a lot of big and small sharp bones. The bones fall off the spine and you have to pick them 1 by 1. Most people I know have switched to salmon for Christmas.
The reason most people wont eat fresh water fish like carp is because they're bottom cleaners basically so they are considered "dirty" I've ate carp farmed from a pond and it was surprisingly good if you dont mind the bones

Came across a power plant in Utah where the fuel was decomposing pig carcasses. Carcasses were shedded and dumped into a covered tank. The gases were captured and compressed into a liquid. Piped to a power plant and used as fuel to power the turbines creating electricity.
With EV vehicles coming, the need for power may create a need for hogs
A slippery slope that one. Some folks won't know where to draw that line.
@@pixpusha I agree, and it is weird too. Many people need food, and ..... geeze, such a weird thing to do!!!
@@pixpusha the dead pigs came from a hog farm operation. The operation is massive, imagine about a mile or more road with four large buildings holding hogs. Every set of buildings is 200 yards apart all along this stretch of road. And the sets of four buildings also go a quarter of a mile back on both sides of the road. We’re talking about millions of hogs. Some of the hogs are going to die accidentally, and the carcasses are placed outside away from the buildings. Truck stops by to pick up carcasses and haul them to the plant.
But that’s not all they do. They also collect all the excrement and run it through a treatment program before mixing it big field with top soil used as fertilizer.
So they make bacon, electricity, and fertilizer.
that is gross. feral pigs?

i lived in Hawaii and we ate wild boar all the time. Now I live in Texas and i hear ppl complain about meat prices and feral hogs in the same breath....they are delicious, why are we not eating this?
98% of Texas is privately owned and the owners bitch about the hogs but won’t let hunters in ( for some good reasons ) unless they are paid big bucks.
Cook it well done and it will be fine. I find it better than farm pork and their fat is thin and tasty.
It's still easy to get a disease. We don't need inexperienced people preparing and eating it. That's how you get another epidemic.
probably cos big agri will lose out on a lot of money
This video says that feral hogs have a lot of diseases. Some can even be contracted from handling the carcasses.
if your pork meat have a piss odour when cooking or frying it means that it come from male pig that wasn't castrated. This odour very common in UK because Castration in pigs is not widely practised in the UK and is prohibited under current Assured British Pigs Farm Assurance Standards 😀 It is however standard practice in other parts of the EU and outside the EU.
No shit, i always wondered what was going on with the pork sometimes. Thanks
One of the tastiest fish dinners I ever had was carp, it was scored about 1/8 inches apart and deep fried, apparently that dissolves the bones and I did not find one.
Growing up growing up on a farm when I was younger if my father wanted a piece of land cleared the underbrush Ali going to cut the trees down or whatever he would fence it off and then put domesticated pigs in there and they will literally eat everything do eat leaves grass small trees daylily route the ground so you can see the roots of the bigger trees that are there so my father wouldn't have to go in and cut or remove any of the undergrowth before he cut any trees down if he did it all sometimes he just wanted it cleared off the underbrush so he just left it in there for a month or so they eat everything
“These guys aren’t too picky!”

Hunters are fine, poachers can all die and the animal kingdom would be just fine. Hunters do more for conservation than any group like PETA has ever done. The revenue from permits and tags goes towards protecting the animals and their habitats. I’m a gun owner but don’t hunt. Have nothing against it at all as long as you do it legally and don’t waste anything. Fresh meat is far healthier than the supermarket food that’s been pumped full of antibiotics, growth hormones, preservatives and who knows what else. Fishing is also great for conservation. Poachers re just hunters that don’t follow the law…. They can all walk off a cliff as far as I’m concerned.
Yeah and no, and if you think the money hunters pay to kill and pose with a dead elephant, or lion, etc. goes to “preserving the animals”…that is fairly naive. Of course they say that, but mainly, the money goes into the pockets of people arranging the hunt, with only a token amount to conservation.
And I am fine with hunting if it’s a clean kill, and if the meat is used, and the population is too large for the food supply, and done in the right season and the right age/gender is culled, etc…..but that is a lot of “ifs” ….and doubt those are done most of the time. Even if the hunter wants to, they will eventually miss and end up with a buck running off with a cross bow embedded in its shoulder, to slowly die of infection in pain, with the meat only used by scavenger animals, who were going to get it anyway.
And can’t prove it, but I suspect only a minority of hunters use the meat to eat, and either leave the carcass after taking pics and maybe the horns, or stick it in their freezer for years, before throwing it out due to “freezer burn.”
And don’t think there is any hard evidence that “fresher” meat improves people’s health, and wild animals are teeming with parasites that can be transmitted to people, including through meat and it’s processing.
@@Itried20takennames I assure you most hunters eat their kill.
@@Itried20takennamesI’ve been surrounded by hunters my whole life. The game wardens are on people all the time checking permits and kills. so hunters are very particular about their kills. And if it’s too much meat, they have people to give it to. If a hunter makes a bad shot, most will hike for hours to find the animal. And they will practice aiming far more so it doesn’t happen again. Hunting also helps keep populations healthy by mixing up the gene pools. Predators generally take the sick, old, and young. You do a lot of assuming.
@@Itried20takennamesyoure assuming so much its painful. just about everything you said is false. you assume most hunting is trophy hunting, which isnt true. if done legally, yes, it goes into much needed conservation efforts, and helps keep the population in check. most people eat or share their kills, and the amount of animals they can kill is heavily regulated. harvesting yout own protein is also far more environmentally and ethically friendly than eating mass farmed meat. its much better for the environment than if no one hunted.
also, even trophy hunting is good sometimes, as it clears up older males whose presence is not needed, allowing younger males to have a chance. you should probably look into the benefits of hunting more, *you* seem naive.
You can’t poach a pig. They are fair game to all.
My dad ate a huge python in Vietnam. The first meat he’d had in a while. He said it was great. Tasted like chicken 👍
Because you wanted to or had to? My dad did survival training with the Air Force in Puerto Rico and they were given no food and they caught snakes and ate it and he said it was food but nothing he wanted to eat again
That is why they called marines in Viet Nam snake eaters

I've noticed that city, private zoos mostly feed their predators chicken, even private exotic pet owners. Maybe switch from mostly chicken and hunt down these pigs and feed them that. It'll help the population problem and none of the pigs deaths will go to waste. If you think about it one Lion eats 80lbs of meat a week, just one, and there are 1000s of Lions in zoos across the U S not to mention other predators in zoos.
The chicken is industrialized.
Thats why they use as the food
Feral pig meat MUST be cooked or the lions have a much larger chance of getting diseases. So the lions would actually need a chef lol.
@@vannarooski8730lol lions can eat it fine. 😂😂 They were born to eat wild.
In my experience when pig carcasses are left "exposed" the wildlife doesn't seem to be real interested in consuming. A zoo animal that had no choice might eat them but the coyotes and buzzards left them laying. Bears weren't interested either.

Damn. Im up here in Central Louisiana and was working for a tree service. Me and the boss man was coming from a quote on a job and come around a curve and hit 2 big hogs going 50.
We got out to load em up and I swear 20 freaking hogs come out the woods and tried to attack us. They was wanting to eat the 2 dead hogs. We hauled our butts with the one we loaded up and got back to town and the damn hog came back to life (boss had put one in its skull earlier with 22) and jumped out the damn truck going 50mph. Them things are hard to kill and very aggressive.

Had a big problem in WV with feral hogs. The dept of Agriculture was put in charge of control. There is no limit to how many or methods used at present to get rid of them. We killed and ate plenty.... nothing really wrong with the meat unless its an older boar. There was some testing done around the state and no diseases were found that would prevent eating. We ate the younger ones when possible (40-75 lbs.) However no real progress was achieved to get the numbers down until they started using some more aggressive means.

I know a farmer who had a pig problem, the pigs were coming under his fences, from the neighbouring forestry block. You could see where they had dug just enough and were squeezing under the wire in narrow trenches. They had multiple places they had got under the fences, and no point trying to do anything about it, because they just move further along the wire and try again.
So he brought a dozen kitchen knives, sharpened the tips razor sharp, and went and buried them into the bottom of the trenches, and left three inches sticking up. When he would see pigs in his paddocks, he would drive up to that part of the farm with a rifle, shoot one, and all the others would dash full speed to their escape spots. He watched three go through the same spot one after the other, and run away up into the forestry land bleeding like firehoses.
smart
did that stop the probem or just delay it?
@@Dave-ty2qp I would say that it worked. It takes time to dig holes so if there escapes are lined with knives and they decide not to go in, they will all get picked off easily by the farmer.
There are only so many open fields in that peninsular, and in the forestry running down the mountain spine are a lot of feral pigs, turkeys, geese, goats and even some wild peacocks. The farm runs beef cattle, and one of the things the pigs do is go around the two or three day old cow-flops, because they always have a lot of worms under them ( the more you know )
So, no, the pigs kept coming, I know because the farm has some cottages along the shore, that they lease out to fishermen. My older brothers have been using one of them for 25 or 30 years, so the farm family lets them hunt on the farm. A young Peacock is actually reasonable good eating it turns out.
Some of the paddocks have small creeks that run up into the mountains, the creek sides are heavily grown with scrub. I was there once, on the shore beside one of the creeks, and someone fired a shotgun up further in the farm, and 11 pigs barrelled out of the other side of the creek and up over the hill away from me. They had been laying up in the scrub for the afternoon, and listening to me walk along the beach, and thought I might start shooting. So if there were 11, and those were just the oones I could see, you can't see anything LIKE the whole of any of the paddocks because of how hilly the farm is ( and they were just the ones who panicked and ran, there are always pigs and other ferals that are cautious and don't run, so maybe there were another 11 laying still ) in just one of the creek-beds, and the farm has about a dozen creeks . . .
In wet weather, the pigs get into paddock after paddock and just destroy the pasture, it honestly has to be seen to be believed how much grass and turf a dozen pigs will root up in one night. I am trying to think of an analogy for the damage . . . it looks like some demented bulldozer with a broken blade has gone mad.
@@Dave-ty2qp
They call that bleeding like a stuck hog. But trust me, from an old hog farmer, nothing short of a good shot from a rifle/firearm is going to stop them. Swine, in general, are the toughest animal on the North American Continent. I've seen hogs, and even pigs, that have suffered injuries that would have killed any other animal I can think of, and a year later, I couldn't hardly find a scar. And they don't call them 'pig headed' for nothing. The only way you will keep hogs out of your fields, is to provide them a better feed source, or kill them off. 🙋🐷

How can it be that animals we want to save can easily go instinct, but the ones we do want to go instinct are just multiplying fast.
We want to save them because they easily go extinct
Because the ones that can tolerate our presence are the ones that can take advantage of our resources, our farmland and homes, and breed quickly enough, so we see them as a nuisance.
While the ones that don't take advantage of the resources humans provide are struggling with the loss of their habitat.
Basically humans replace wilderness with farmland, but then we get annoyed when the animals adapt to us, and sad when they can't adapt to us and go extinct. Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

Karp is a dish often served on Christmas Eve still acrossa lot of states in Europe.
And as said ( I am sure it will be said ) other fish also live in brackish water (aka "dirty water" for most people )
like a lot of fish the US citizens love live in the same conditions too !
Salmon even caught fresh can have lot's of tapeworms and are used in the oh so beloved Sushi - if not frozen properly over a specific period of time ...
So I'd rather eat thoroughly cooked Carp than raw Sushi, from a place I have never been bevore / barely know and one mistake can mess me up completely.
S.o. with tapeworm infestation can develope a severe Vitamin B ( most of all B 12 and B1) deficiency to the point of neurological issues and memory loss that can even present like Korsakov Syndrome (often found in long term alcoholics) or present as a neurodegenerative disorder.

@@alexcarter8807 I didn't know that, thank you , I learned something new.
Buffalo fish here in America have the tiny bones like carp. If you filet the meat off, then slice through the skin and rip the meat into chunks, you can then fry it and pull the meat off the bones. During the Great Depression men would catch thousands of pounds of carp and buffalo and the women would can them. This softened the bones. Churches distributed the canned fish to those who needed food.
Carp is not for mass consumption? Tf? We Indians especially Bengali people eat carp or any fish every day lunch, we are the people who don't mind a few bones just to get sweet meat of hilsa fish and compared to the bones of hilsa fish, carps can't even hold a candle.😂
I eat all fish after living in Asian countries. I don't understand what US Americans have against carp (and lots of other fish as well). They taste good. Pretty much all fish tastes good, as far as I have tried, and is also permissible in most religions and cultures.
Hilsa fish? What would you say it tastes like the most?
@@sydneyjane777 carp don’t taste like anything. At least in the US they have no flavor. Could be the difference in diet.
@@ethanclarke4127 here in india and rest of Asia, carp doesn't eat human waste that's for sure , so yeah maybe diet difference 😂
@@YamaXI I search the the English term for a fish that taste similar to hilsa, and the Google came up with the name "indian glass barb" fish, so yea I can't really think of any other fish that tastes similiar. But in term of stature u can think hilsa as the culinary peak of Indian state of Bengal and the country of Bangladesh.
WE ARE NOT EATING BUGS OR SNAKES .
FEED THEM TO THE WEF AND THEIR SUPPORTERS.
4:45 This is a map of Canada.
I knew wildboars are dangerous but wow i never imagind they hunt young animals too we have boars too in belguim but thats more easy to control bc we have a smaller country
watop is the best channel for facts and cool stuff,he combines telling facts along with some comedy,i love it,keep this sh!t up man we love it.
Except the video title says snakes, but it’s talking about pigs….
Not sure how that’s smart and relevant?
actually he gets a lot of things wrong. don’t just believe everything you hear..
If hunting isn't a way to control the population explain how the Passenger Pigeon was hunted to extinction??
Pretty sure this guy is just anti-gun
Easier to kill and breed slower
@@TheAkdzyn ... Then how come "bread" is not extinct? Care to explain it? 🤔🤔🥖✨
Or the native bison (or buffalo)
Why is this video’s title about snakes, when over 60% of it was about wild hogs? 😮
I've been eating them since I was little I never got sick Taste better than the store food
Same here
What? Carp or wild pigs?
I live in the extreme northwest corner of NC, and the video shows that we're covered up in pigs. But I've never seen one and lived here for 37 years.
Are you out at night looking in the bushes?
@@squirrel670 not that often anymore. But even so, there should be some signs of them and we just haven't seen that here yet. We're covered up in farms, so one would expect to hear of raided gardens and fields.
@@michaelhowell2326 google says there is 100k of em and they're most active early morning or late evening. They're present in 81/100 counties so you may be lucky. Hunting on them is open season
Fresh wild hog pork chops fried in peanut oil is 100x better than any store bought pork.
Don't use seed oils, those are pretty toxic. Try traditional fats like beef tallow, ghee or coconut oil.
@@dutyofcall7659 ? How about corn oil, canola oil, etc.
In Munich (Germany) we have several forests and in at least one of them feral pigs are living and it is a pleasure to see them. Fences can hold them quite good. Just have to build the right ones and give them enough space ;) Of course for pop-cap hunters are needed. But that is a given.
Are you shure that's feral pigs, and not wild boar?
I don't know for feral pigs, but wild boars in a zoo just dig the concrete of their fence, which has to be remade every spring. So not sure you can easily fence them.
my grandpa, a farmer mixed glass shards into the concrete of his pig's den! They can't bite or scratch through this material. And the rats can't do either, to come in and feed on the pigs' food!
Bring Filipino's out there you can experience fiesta everyday and enjoying eating Lechon, Tapa and adobo.
Carp is eaten in many parts of Europe. I have heard that they are a delicacy in Poland. They are, however, seldom eaten here in Britain.
Some UK places have put signs up along the canals 'No Carp Fishing' with a pictogram man running away with a carp under the arm. This is because certain diversity groups are taking them to eat.
@@terencejay8845it would be a good idea if carp fishing was permitted, and the British eating them alongside the immigrant groups, as it would reduce the dependency on sea fish.
There aren't that many in the canals. It's stocked as a sport fish. There are anglers up and down the canal system and using carp as edibles would wipe out the stocks in weeks. @@michaelhaywood8262
This situation is the result of farmers who shot anything that looked at their livestock over a centaury, they effectively removed the predators and instantly promoting little piggy to "Daddy pig". Unfortunately the justification was and still is that the farmers will loose everything if the predators are not removed. Now do you understand that each and every creature has a purpose and we should seek to find a solution where we can keep things in balance.
Capybaras and iguanas are also invasive species in Florida. And they are edible as well.
Iguanas? 😮
I call my South American friends for the iguanas. Huge ones.
how do you cook um?
Not sure how it is now but I moved to GA in 2015 and immediately got my hunting license for deer, you can hunt hogs there year round and there was no bag limit. I never did see one but I did bag a monster 10 point buck my first year there.
I live in Alabama and have been hunting hogs in TX several years. Very little of this information is consistent with my experience.
Isn't that usually the way of this stuff? " Experts", lol
And here I thought “long pig” was the most invasive species on the planet!LOL
Everyone knows about Florida's pythons. What many dont know is there are breeding colonies of King Cobra and Nile River Monitors as well.
Wow that's crazy
Are you being serious??
And this is why Australia doesn't want to allow people to import or keep exotic species. Only a matter of time before they end up in the wild and causing enormous harm to the local species and even to communities. Imagine an invasion of venomous snakes. It would not be pretty.
King Cobras eat pythons, so maybe leave them around. Very very venomous but their main prey is other snakes.
Whenever I see something like this my first thought is always "why don't they just eat them?"
Boar is delicious, for one thing. As for the carp and python, you can probably make it tasty.
It's my firm belief that you can turn almost anything into a tasty dish with the right preparation.
You just have to experiment a bit to find that (or those) mode(s) of preparation that works.
When I see a stupid comment like this,I wonder why you comment without seeing the video
@@kriskulczynski8957 If you're referring to boar meat being dangerous if not prepared/handled correctly, I took that into account.
Wild boar is a fairly common game meat here in northern europe.
And elsewhere, I would reckon.
Like the video said; boars (and really all species of pig) are clever, breed like crazy and can survive almost everywhere.
I doubt you'd need to treat these pigs much different in terms of turning them into food.
As for the carp and python, my original comment stands.
And I've seen some videos here on youtube where they manage to make decent food out of python meat.
Though it isn't easy and it is a tough meat to work with.
I'm just generally averse to wasting resources and neglecting the ecology around us.
If we can manage to control or even wipe out an invasive species simply by eating it, that'd be ideal as far as I'm concerned.
When there are no natural predators, it's up to us to be that predator.
Pythons are actually tasty like chicken.
@@kriskulczynski8957 Wild boar meat in Europe is popular as it tastes really good. Carp is a popular sport fish and is eaten. There are predators in the lakes that keep the numbers down. Snakes are probably worth a miss. So not a stupid comment at all.
@kriskulczynski8957 still didn't watch the vide😂
For every action there is a reaction but most people don't think about that 🤔
I'm in Memphis, Tn. I'm willing to help reduce the feral pigs problem for FREE.

Just a quick note about the 'feral pigs' segment. YES YOU CAN fence pigs in. We raised pigs when I was a boy, and a single wire ELECTRIC fence did a remarkably effective job of containing pigs. In fact, we only turned the fence on every week or so, after one of the pigs would get out. After the juice comes back on, and two pigs get a shock, word spreads, and you can unplug the fence for another week or so. Can't believe someone hasn't figured this out somewhere.
Not sure you are mentioning "pigs" or "Humans", both are having a lot in common according to your explanation!
My little great niece's family raised some pigs & she got in the pen & went to sleep. Her family was afraid & went to look for her. The sow ( mother pig) was nudging her out of the pen with her snout.the other pigs could have eaten her. She was lucky.
I just heard of this, but can you do a story about sand fleas?
Antarctica, why don’t the Polar Bears eat the Penguins? Oh no, wait…..
Those hogs got that human in em.
You're telling me that the species who caused the extinction of the passenger pigeon can't seem to take down these mad pigs?
We are the invasive species in the case of the former
@@rohanpravin5031 we still are an invasive species.
Exactly. Also we almost wiped out whales. Hunting is a good way to reduce the wild pig population.
I keep hearing about future food issues. If that happens well be happy to have all that food. Even if it isnt quite as good. Youd be surprised what youll eat when you get hungry enough
You just have to know how to butcher & prepare wild hog meat correctly, which goes for any wild animal. You can Google the correct procedure for slaughtering/butchering just about any animal. Look up "Louisiana wild meat cooking" channels for some good recipes, & there's a few old recipe books from LA that are still treasured today.
@@NaomiSims-id2vn Old editions of Joy of Cooking have instruction for preparing squirrels, bears, raccoons and opossum. New editions don't. Mine is at least 30 years old.
Pertaining to the bones in carp... When I buy canned salmon, it has plenty of bones in it, but they are soft and easily chewed. Even what I assume to be the spine.
I've always assumed the soft bones come from pressure cooking the salmon before canning it.
However it's done, if they can do it with salmon, why can't they do it with carp?
I'm asking seriously.
It's probably to an acceptable proportion. If it was mostly bone, it would taste different and be more bone than meat lol.
Wondering the same
My family still makes homemade conserved carp. Taste very nice, bones are very soft, but yes, it does taste a little more of bone then tinned salmon.
Fair question.
Carp should be used to feed domestic hogs, not humans
My cat and dog clients love the carp jerky and skins. Carp actually pretty good if you sauté it down with some sweet and spicy chili sauce.
All these problems have been caused by human greed and selfishness -
Love your channel. The open seasons on hogs causing the spread of them is not proven. It MIGHT be a cause, and if it is, it's a relatively unique effect specifically for hogs. They need to be killed....in mass. How that is accomplished is up for debate.
Helicopter and infrared?
Didn't we hunt the passenger pigeon and the buffalo to the brink of extinction in the 19th century?
Didn’t Australians with machine guns lose a “war” to unarmed (literally) emus…..
Also, I’ve seen videos of people shooting hogs with full auto rifles & machine guns from helicopters & barely make a dent in the population…..if you guessed Texas, you’d be correct!
pigs make up to 10 piglets
if you shoot the leading pig the population explodes as she kinda tells the others when to make kids and when not
When the Democrats and uniparty accomplish their goal of collapsing society. The hogs are going to be pretty much the only thing will be able to eat. Besides each other that is.
The first map of the hogs showed them here in New Brunswick Canada. What the h€ll. We have no wild pigs. The second map was of the USA. First map was Canada.
Title: snakes
Snakes mentioned in video: 1 minute
wild pigs are a delicassy in germany. they're really tasty - i don't know what's the problem with eating them xD
I’ve killed 100’s of wild hogs on my farm in North Carolina. I give most of the meat away. I even dress and quarter the hogs for people because while most people can’t handle a whole hog, they will happily come pick up a shoulder, ham, or loin. However, I never give a piglet away. That’s the best hog meat you’ll ever put in your mouth. I like them about the size of a big cat. Lol
IDK but I may be the only hog hunter in the world that brags about how little the pigs I kill are.
muricans ..
@@wasidanatsali6374 google "Spanferkel" in case you don't know it already :D
Lol i like how he says hunting hasnt ever removed a population. European wolves would greatly disagree among many other species through the world. I do agree that other resources need to be included especially for invasive species, but the problem is always greatly increased due to greed.
Wolves will have one litter of 3-5 cubs a year, and it will often be just the "alpha" female of the pack. Pigs, we're talking 2 litters a year of 8-12 or more, plus in a herd the boar's got a few sows and they're all having litters.
Wolves will always be removed when humans, livestock and pets are involved.
@hyperwebbing I mean thanks for agreeing with me?
I’m too scared of those snakes! 😮
So who came up with the idea of displaying Bison whilst referring to animals in Antarctica?🤔😁😂🙃
A guy from China once told me that the US could make billions selling python and wild boar meat in China.. it's a delicacy there
È tutto divertimento e giochi finché la carpa non impara finalmente come evolversi in Gyarados 😅
We used to have jaguars in the West. They even lived in TX. They could have really helped with feral Swine.
Supposedly they're making a rebound in Arizona with several of them being seen on game cams often
I like the idea of these companies offering hunting pigs by helicopter. They can cover a lot of ground and shoot them on the fly. It is expensive, but I am sure there are a lot of people that would find that to be fun. Please have more hog hunts.
Even California allows hunting feral hogs with no restrictions and donate them to homeless shelters.
Curp actually taste better than other fishes in general..😊
Wish there's a way you could those "bush meat" to Nigeria. They would have met their match. Within 3 months most of them would have ended up as "bushmeat pepper soup", disease or not. 😊
