Since the original post was in dallas. I've hunted feral hogs in the middle of the metroplex on core land. You might have to do some digging, but there's lots of spots within 2 hours drive every direction. Call a farmer and you might get to help him protect his crops. Last I heard was that there were over a million hogs in Texas.

I just eat them smoked or in a crock pot. I also soak mine to get the blood out. The taste you get will really involve your preparation and cooking skills. I've never even tried one that was over 100lbs. I always heard they weren't good. Maybe I'll give it another go.

I really doubt you'll find anything like bacon at the store on a wild hog. It's not a "natural" thing to find even though it tastes like heaven.
