I hunted them years ago in Arkansas. I didn't care for the meat as in chops or steaks, thought they had a rather strong taste. But, we made some into some varieties of sausage that wasn't too bad. 
 If removing guns saves just one life it's worth it. Then if deporting illegals saves one life is that worth it?

…. Young ones and most sows are ok … do not eat any with yellow fat … fat needs to be white and you’re usually good  ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2025/01/full-105-244949-img_2395.jpeg) Apparently this new poison Texas is using on them turns the fat and meat blue? Have you heard anything about that?  I'll be headed down your way in about a month.  We hunt them down around nacogdoches.  Sending two tons of corn down next week. Ol dad |  |  |

….. I’m a little south of Nacadoches and haven’t heard of the poison being used… they typically call in the dogs when there’s a problem…. Not saying it isn’t… just haven’t heard of anyone using it.

https://texags.com/forums/34/topics/3445880I can't find the original article that I read talking about the poison but there is a link in this forum to one. However it won't let me access it because I have ad blockers on my browser.  Here's what one Texas hand said:   I have done at least a preliminary look at this. As you know, it was out there some time back and then pulled due to concerns some had. I watched a video about Kaput and based on it and what I've read, you have to have your applicator's license to buy it and have to use special feeders when you put it out.
 One study showed very little impact on nontarget animals. I didn't realize that it takes so long for it to work but once it does it is lights out for the hogs. Sort of amazing how it turns the fatty parts of a hog such a brilliant blue color.
 
 One video showed them baiting the feeder for a few weeks and the hogs got used to robbing corn from the feeder. But once they replaced the corn with Kaput, they shut down feeding. As I understand it, Kaput only has a fraction of the poison (Warfarin) that rat poison contains.
 
 Not sure why, it wasn't due to any research on my end, but when it first came out I thought it was something you put out and boom, dead hogs. While there may be more recent studies, what I saw showed a pretty long process and issues with having them eat the poison. Didn't appear to be much of an issue with nontarget things. I have no idea how they would enforce you using specialty feeders, but if you do it is going to be an expensive process if you have a large area to deal with.
 
 I have no doubt that some will figure out a way to blend the Warfarin (via rat poison) into something the hogs will more readily consume.

My experience has been a lot of factors in play with pigs. Here in SW Oklahoma, I have yet to have one that didn't cook up excellent . Even the big ones. Not the case in eastern Oklahoma . Awful.

I've killed them from Lubbock to Freeport,  Shiner, to Huntsville. 
 5lbs to 400lbs
 
 And for whatever reason, they've all been delicious.
 
 A lot of spine /brain shots.
… killed around corn feeders ? … that makes a difference for sure  … if you were in Huntsville Tx, you were next door to me

Just a note that domestic boars all go to make sausage in pizza. I worked in a slaughter house that bought and butchered boars. You could smell them coming down the line. Are wild boars worse smelling?Yes!
