Last week my little bro was down for a weeks vacation and since he knows I hog hunt every chance I get and he wanted in on some of that action. So we hunted almost every night for a week.... Worse night we killed two and one was easily 175 lbs plus... Was fun because I let little bro do the stalk and shoot on the big un! Had his adrenaline up because his first shot spun the animal and it charged straight at him at around 30 yards. He did good though and smoke another one in on him and he turned about 45 degrees and ran 150 yards or so and dropped.. Our best night we got 6 maybe 7 hogs - one we couldn't find but it had hit a thicket after taking a hard hit... In 5 days of hunting we dropped between 20-25 hogs.
We might have done better but a friend of mine is having some issues with nutria rats. So we spent a number of hours thinning those down a bit... I know for sure we got 20-25 of the ugly buggers.
They destroy dams by burrowing into them to make their home. They also will dam up drain pipes and small outlets just like beaver will despite what the so called experts say about that issue. They are similar to sheep in the way they eat. They literally create mud flats because they will eat roots and all which in turn causes massive erosion issues especially in coastal areas.. they devour all kinds of crops. In general one of the more malignant invasive species - almost as bad as hog in my eyes lol

Anyway over all it was a good weeks vacation for both of us.
They grow to 20 lbs plus and yes they are eatable just make sure you cook them very well done since they are carriers of a number of nasty internal bugs (assorted intestinal worms etc..)
