Wildlife in the City

The feral pigs in NA are fully edible and tasty! In the Smoky Mountains it is open season year round without a license because of how destructive they are. I have seen quarter-acre size mud wallows in wetland areas and all the good tuberous plants dug and eaten. One spring at high elevations the Eyrthronium populations had been rooted up and eaten.

The European wild boar is actually very good to eat, lean dark meat unless
of course like with everything you get a very old boar (you know "the trophy
kind"). Don't you guys read anything into my comments, though, please. Still
it is  a pest destroying potato fields. They are also moving into populated
areas rooting in garbage, much like bears in out neck of the woods. I
understand, though that the North American kind is a cross between the
domestic one and the imported wild kind and is altogether a different
matter. Is it edible? Anybody in the crowd is a hunter, or hangs around with
hunters.?

Dread the day feral pigs move into the neighborhood.  A problem in the
South and West, they have recently been reported in upstate New York.
