Just have a processor add beef fat.
.300 Blackout works real good & shoot everyone you see from large to small. Here in East Texas our Chamber of Commerce sponsors a wild hog hunting contest for gun, trapping, & hog dogs. I think last year over the weekend 700 were brought in. I'm convinced the hogs just multiply faster since we see more and more of the varmits.
The 1st wild hogs in North America go back to the Spanish explorers who would release them so settlers following would have a food supply.
Correct on the time-frame/guilty party.... but I doubt the reason. There was plenty of food and wild game in the New World. The problem the Spaniards had was transporting/herding them alongside horses as the explorers ranged farther afield. As the wild game availability was realized the hogs became unnecessary and were allowed to roam.
