Personally, I shoot only what I wanna butcher. We have a lot of pigs out here, but I don't have a lot of land. I have only 27 acres I can hunt them on, my land and two neighbors. I just shoot 'em under my feeder or trap 'em in my trap. I have trapped more'n I wanted to butcher. I just shoot 'em all, take what I want, and let God, and the vultures, sort out the rest.
When I first moved out here, I checked into hog buyers. There's one over in Hallettsville. The state strictly controls how wild pigs can be handled. You just can't catch one and take it somewhere and release it. But, you can take it to a licensed buyer. But, they were only offering 25 cents a pound at the time and I didn't think it was worth buying a trailer for, handling the pigs, messing with it. I've shot or trapped for MY family, have never sold a pig.
