Those bastards are invading my neighborhood and tearing up some very expensive landscaping. I'm about to shoot a bunch of them but, really don't feel like processing the meat. Many years ago, I had a phone number of some folks that would come get them and donate the meat to shelters. I've since lost those contacts. I'm in Alachua county.

Be great if you could hook up with a homeless shelter for veterans and put that meat to good use

Wild hogs?  I'd be skeptical.

But then again I'm consistently wrong about most things

Spoke with three different people from there today. Not much help. One woman took my contact info and said she would ask around and get back to me if she could find me some help.

I checked with our AG guys they have no sources or go to people that wants them. If there was go to people they should have had infomation. There is a big cat preserve in the NE corner of county on CR 225 they did not mention that i remember driving by it seems like feeding big cats would be expensive and they may have an interest. Although it seems like a waste of meat they are a damn pest you may just have to treat them as such could use as bait for a coyote killing operation and add to your carcass collection.

Shoot them and leave in field? Thought that was SOP.

Beat me to it (barely )

Just leave them. Why risk getting any diseases or blood all over your truck or any of that nonsense?

Because I'm shooting them in my neighborhood. Like in my front yard. And my neighbor's yards.

I am here and am ready to go to work.  Just give me the heads up and I'll be there.  I've been here a year and a half and still haven't taken a hog.

I can't bring in anyone else since it's a residential hood. Everyone knows me and has given me permission through the HOA to enter their property and shoot them. Good to know you're local though. Shoot me a PM. Always good to meet fellow arfcommers.
