[QUOTE="aushunter1, post: 1882584, member: 57533"] What diseases do you guys have over there that affect wild pigs because that's what I would be asking? We have here in Australia, mainly in the northern half of the country but it is spreading south & I also believe you have it over there in the USA as well? [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ourfocus/animalhealth/animal-disease-information/swine-disease-information/swine-brucellosis[/URL] This is tranferable to humans & these are some of the affects in can have on you- [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/brucellosis/symptoms-causes/syc-20351738[/URL] I just wanted to point that out but obviously you would track where if any infections would be state by state with your applicable authority. Not sure how your wild pig population feed but here in Australia a lot of the pigs here due to weather/ land conditions/amount of available natural diet like bulbs/roots etc, when there is no regular feed they start becoming carnivores & will eat anything they can find including kangaroo, goat, fox, sheep, cattle carcasses. It may not be to different an many other countries? So with all this in mind if I take a pig it will be very young, still probably while it is still suckling or not long after. I just do not want to take the chance of parasites, swine brucellosis or even the taste of the meat being affected by eating rotten flesh. Each to their own of course & its really dependant on local environment of course. :D [/QUOTE]
