Not quite true, as it is legal to hunt under permit on certain public lands, e.g., Sam Houston Nat’l Forest (but yes, illegal where the OP is referring to).

Not sure if you’re using the term “bacon” generically to refer to pork, but there’s no bacon to be had on a wild pig; they’re just not fat enough. The only way to get bacon from a wild pig is to trap a piglet or shoat, pen it, and fatten it up yourself.
I’ve trapped and killed hundreds of wild pigs, so I do know a bit on this subject.

Speaking of feral hogs, didn't stacey abrams also question the election results in Georgia? So she can get away with that while Trump is in hot water. Oh that's right, democrats can get away with that shit in our banana republic with kangaroo courts.
However to get the thread back on topic, I would love to go hog hunting as there are plenty of places that want feral hog hunters, but having to clean up and drag the hogs for disposal would be a bitch to do. I don't want anywhere near these nasty animals.

The only parts I have found worth keeping are the hams, & only if it's still young.

those fuckers are in shape. some of the big males i've encountered and scared hit 20 mph easily. would not want to try to outrun one.
interesting fact: a women in the Woodlands was attacked by a feral hog pack and they killed her and ate her. she was 5'1 and lacked my alpha predator psycho i'm comin for ya vibe, but still, that shit is pretty gnarly..
