I'm curious if anyone has heard or seen one in South Texas. Nilgai started from a small heard and have exploded in growth population. I saw this clip and wanted to share.

Anyone bringing these things in/importing them needs their arse kicked.

Several have been killed over the last 10 years or so. Including many on the Chap WMA, which is high fenced. Yes, they dig under the fence.

I got a buddy who hunts down toward Carrizo Springs and they've shot one on their place.

I wonder if they taste like feral hog. Or if they're as nasty as javelina.

I don't have any personal experience but I'm told that if you carefully cut around the gland on the back of a javelina that they're really tasty.

From personal experience they taste much better than feral hogs. They are excellent table fare.

I'll take a javi over a pig any day. Wart hog looks to be VERY lean.

In regards to the meat and how it tastes, they say it's better!

Since the warthog is a relative of the pig, I expected it to be porky. It turns out I was right, except that it might even be better. Seriously, I tried warthog ribs and was immediately hooked. They were bigger than your average pork ribs, but packed some delicious flavor. How can you be so ugly and delicious at the same time?
At my next chance, I had some warthog filets. That's the picture from above and they were equally delicious compared to the ribs. There was a sort of beefiness about them in addition to the porkiness, but the most important takeaway was that they were just delicious.

They dig really deep burrows in Africa. On Safari you can see them everywhere and they aren't small by any stretch. Whoever brought these in didnt do enough research to think a high fence would contain them... A simple Google search could have saved a lot of trouble.

This is a fact.

I bet those would make excellent pets for the nextdoor crowd.

I hear grizzly bears love them some warthog! maybe the grizzly population will lay off the salmon runs down in Carrizo and eat all the warthogs!

The hard part is first taking the couch out from under the couch hippo. Once you've done that, the prey drive might kick in.

I have never seen them but would shoot the **** out of them if I ever do. They would eat lead right away.

Have a customer that killed one on a ranch around Brady right before the snowmagedon. Said it tasted pretty good.

About ten years ago when I got drawn - they had been found 60 miles from the insertion point (ranch next to the chaparral). I'm assuming they will be like feral hogs in 20-30 years.
