Heaps around our country. The meat tastes way different, very gamey, I'm not partial to it myself - to rich and gamey for me.
Yeah, we typically only butcher up sows if we get them during the winter. Males are gamey and pigs in general are just all nasty during the summer - lots of ticks, fleas and and other junk! Killed 7 sitting on the deer stands over Thanksgiving week alone.
Today at our ranch, we had a security trail camera get stolen by a group of thieves who keep busting in. Got a gate they'll just cut the lock and slip in with a car. They come particularly to steal Native American artifacts from an old camp mound (to sell for drug money, I figure). Unfortunately, it is in a bad signal hole (AT&T) for cell phone cameras and they are always blurred/obscurred when I have the camera hidden well. Very sporadic in their movements - usually in there at night digging with shovels and flashlights. Been after them for a couple of years now, been a real pain because we have to literally catch them in the act to really nab them. About to the point of digging an anti-tank ditch to trap their car!
