Why do american hoggers keep hogs alive




















Britt said he co-founded the company in , a year after Texas passed its so-called pork chopper bill to help cull the wild pig population with the aid of helicopters. He said they take well-heeled clients like hedge fund managers and other white collar workers on corporate retreats four or five times a week, killing thousands of hogs per year.

It's not a solution, it's just more of a population management approach. Killing hogs isn't easy. This is more of a spectacle than a responsible way of managing them. Hogs can also be trapped live. A company named BoarBuster , from Thomas, Oklahoma, sells mobile-controlled hog traps the size of studio apartments, with live streaming video.

Ranchers also use companies like Lone Star Trapping to capture and remove live hogs. Captured hogs are often sold to distributors, and then to butchers or game preserves. Wild boar is a traditional meat in Italy, where it's served in a ragu sauce with pappardelle pasta. So it's nothing new to New York foodies, who've been dining on it for decades in Italian restaurants like DeGrezia Ristorante in Manhattan.

My wife used to by various cuts of pork from a company over in east Texas. Taste varied from fair to awful so I had her quit buying. Those hogs aren't being feed out. Originally Posted by CrimsonTide I had been meaning to catch that program, and just happened up on it last night.

They are fun. I watched that show one time, so my knowledge of the show is limited, but the Florida guys were the only real hunters on that show. Plus, they were obviously killing the hogs of camera.

I know a guy up in Lampasas that traps live hogs and either feeds them out of sells them for the "Wild Bore" that restaurants sell these days.

He was doing pretty good last I heard. I'm a big fan of the courtesy flush. Originally Posted by stxhunter you can't transport them then release them somewhere else, is how the law is worded i believe. Correct but it's like saying you can drive faster than 70mph on the interstate either.

Everyday in East Texas you see guys with them in trailers taking them to someplace else for release. Was really popular in the mid 90's when hogs were rare in East Texas. Looking back maybe I should have just shot the pigs in the trailers as they were pulling them down the road.

I thought it was a dumb idea then but nobody doing it could see the downside to it. Otto is my co-pilot. I like my bacon with less squeel, please "wanna hear God laugh? Buy once, cry once. Switch to Threaded Mode. Hunter's Campfire. Hunting Optics. Ask The Gunwriters.

Pistol , son, Robert Hunter , and their team, get hog-tied and hauled away in the back of a pickup truck. Dressed in a dusty, battered cowboy hat, jeans and worn boots, he's like a cross between Billy Bob Thornton in "Sling Blade" especially when he says the word "taters" and old-time character actor Gabby Hayes.

The network seems to think you can understand him if you see his lips move, but since he has a beard as thick as an English hedgerow, good luck even seeing his mouth, much less seeing it move. When you can make him out, he's just filled to overflowing with homespun aphorisms, such as his declaration that he's "been hunting hogs since Moby Dick was a sardine.

The show's creators are hoping that the family dynamic between Jerry and his kids will hold our attention in addition to all that hog chasing. Jerry, of course, knows a thing or three about hogs after 50 years in the business. But Krystal-Pistol and Robert-Hunter want to modernize things a bit.
