Relevant to absolutely nothing, but something you might find interesting. Wild pig is selling for $4-5 a pound here, gutted, skinned (not boned) and refrigerated.

Inspected, butchered and packaged double to triple that.

They have restaurants that specialize in Wild meats and do a good business.

Maybe a third of the wild Hogs in southern Germany are radioactive and not even worth dog food. A leftover from Chernobyl. The demand is higher than the supply.

Wild Hogs aren't an invasive species here. But the population has exploded since the Farmers have been planting a lot of Corn for Bio fuel. It seems Corn accelerates growth and sexual maturity. The number of hunters has gone down since the left parties have pushed legislation (stumbling blocks) for licensing new hunters. Typical political situation, two factions working at cross purposes and the end result is a plethora of undecipherable legislation and a Hog Plague.

Hogs are actually a renewable resource, they just need to be controlled.
