    Plenty of wild feral hogs available here in Texas.

      Actually, as far as I'm concerned the real problem is the over population of earth. But how do you solve that?

        Perhaps if a bounty was provided for each feral hog shot, butchered and given to a needy family or facility where it could be used to feed those in need, there may be more people willing to shoot them. Not sure what the bounty would be, but it's a thought...

            And with less bacon people will be living longer now too. :)

              If only anyone would allow people to hunt them. . . . I wanted to while I lived there, could only find people who wanted me to pay them to help eradicate their vermin problems. Seems a bit backward.

                Sounds reasonable!

                      Took me a little while to find it[^]. But it implies that the modest proposal isn't really fully satisfying. Now excuse me while I'm being a little sick.
