A friend of mine does that for fun. As a matter of fact that guy in the video looks like him. He catches them alive using the dogs. Years ago he caught a boar and a sow and turned them loose in Jacksonville along the river close to were he and I lived. They ended up having a lot of offspring and we would routinely see them on the road side.
I need to check out the video on my computer so that I can see if it really is him.

That'll get your heart going. That makes a good case for carrying a long, sharp knife on your belt.

For sure!!! Goodness!!

lots of feral hogs, some hybrid Russian boar a little north of here that came from some idiot releasing them into the wild about 80 years ago.
no bears since I was a kid and then it was only one. Haven't seen a wolf in over thirty years. A fair number of bobcats and the occasional fox. And way too many deer.

At one point, we had tons of coyote and coyote-dog crossbreeds until a bunch of hunting clubs banded together and pretty much genocided them. Rabbits, turkey and quail came back after that. We tried it with the hogs, and continue, but they multiply fast and more are always getting out. And too few people have dog packs nowadays, and no good ones that I know of.

What I really miss seeing are the huge red fox squirrels. The gray tree rats have taken over.

I am glad to hear that! Especially about the quail! I long to hear the call of the Bob White in my area. Sadly it?s  been a few years.

Most people still use real smoke.  I imagine liquid smoke is just the creosote from good tasting smoke like hickory, dissolved.
