I don't need any more excuses to eat bacon thank you.....
do tell? how is this done? sounds good
I disagree with dog fighting. However, you are putting humans and dogs on the same level when you say it should be punishable by death. I don't know about you, but I would sacrifice any dog's life to save another person. Sir, I am certain that most everybody with their head screwed on straight would disagree with dogs and humans being on the same level. Dogs are not equal with humans and punishment by death for dog fighting is more unethical than the dog fighting itself.

I agree.
Vermin control is OK, but why make this type of hunting into some great hero adventure? When what what you are doing is stacking the odds totally in your favour with firearms and your protection dogs? Ah yes, I forgot it's 'instinct':barf:
As I havent read the whole thing, Im going to try an anwsure the FIRST question.
That is hog hunting, it is and thats it. It maybe brutal, but thats hog hunting with dogs.
One thing I wouldnt like about this, is if their just slaughtering them, thats wrong, you kill what you eat, and theres only one reason why men have to go out and slaughter animals with dogs...... they have to make them selves feel better for something they dont have
Unless this is "pestcontrol" thats a diffrent story.
Eat what you kill guys, killing for shits and giggles is what gives hunters a bad name.

Just a quick question; Having a central nervous system, the same sort of pain-receptors as a pig and the capability to experience the same sheer terror as a feral pig, would you rather take a bullet in the brain from a high powered rifle without warning or be mauled by 3-7 large dogs for as long as it takes for a hunter to get to you and stab you in the heart (if you're lucky) ?
I have no problem with hunting but I don't find this form of hunting especially appealing.

they may have the same nervous system, but their brain doesnt process it as, oww, och that hurts, its just that something bad is happening.
Its like saying a animal feels the same as you, NO, most of the pain we fell is pyshological, and the worse the wound, the worse it makes it.
My perspective is this: feral hogs are not native to North America. They were introduced artificially, and are absolutely ruining many environments. I think they should be exterminated, slaughtered, whatever word you want to use. I would like to see absolutely every feral hog killed. If they can all be eaten, so much the better. If not, I'm fine with that.
From that perspective, these pictures don't bother me one bit. I support the wholesale slaughter of these animals 100%. Whether it's considered hunting, a mean sport, bubba's at play, I don't care, as long as they kill ALL the hogs, babies included.

Undoubtedly the bullet is quicker. Although, both the bullet and/or the dogs will be quicker than a mountain lion disemboweling you and eating out of your stomach cavity while you're still alive. Nature is very cruel. Man is much kinder.
Right next to the eggs. 
Sorry, I couldn't resist. Fonly, I'm not trying to argue with you, in general, I agree - eat what you kill. But to me, this isn't a sporting or hunting question, it's a question of fixing a self induced mistake. The hogs are invaders, and very damaging ones at that. Hogs are domesticated animals. Hogs go feral in 2 generations if they escape, which is how feral hogs came into the US. They cause an unbelieveable amount of destruction in the SE, I've seen stats that one hog can uproot acres and acres of wetland, etc., causing semi-permanent destruction. Kill 'em all. It's not often I have that opinion about a species, but this one is absolutely artificial.

It's not often I have that opinion about a species, but this one is absolutely artificial.I dunno about all of this. I would possibly try it. I think it would be even more fun to do it without dogs. That is if you could keep up with the hogs. I dont know much about hogs except what I learned from a high school girlfriends father. Come to think of it dating her was probably a bad idea because her dad could have gotten rid of my body... Oh wait ok back to hog hunting. Yeah I think it would be really cool to hog hunt without a dog. You know kinda jump on its back and take it down yourself to stab it. That would be a rush. I bet you would get cut up pretty bad but that would be worth it.

OK. I can go for the hunting thing. You hunt it and eat it. Lets see, a half dozen dogs run it down, four guys with guns and knives surround said hog, you lift rear leg, while dogs have head pinned and then proceed to stab pig to death. Brave ? Naw, What is the hog to human ratio. How many hogs bring home the human ? Curious to know if you ate the little bugger.

"I don't care, as long as they kill ALL the hogs, babies included." Sodak
Amen, brother, don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel!
JB24,
The skin is edible but the pig is covered by a hairy/dirty outer layer. They hit this with a big gas torch and it scorches and bubbles up. They then scrape this layer off with a garden hoe and finish up the scraping with a knife, wash and scrub with water. The under layer of pigskin is then cut off and smoked for cooking in a pressure cooker with beans.
The blood is collected and used to make a form of sausage. The brains are scrambled with eggs. The heart, liver and kidneys were cooked. All the meat was cooked while the fat was rendered. The meat is then placed in an open top metal can and the rendered fat poured over it. It will keep like that for months without refrigeration. Nothing goes to waste. In fact anything that wasn't fit for human consumption was fed to the pig. We tend to think of these things in ethical terms, here it is pure economics.
