Feral hogs typically look very similiar to domestic hogs, but often times have more variation in color and coat pattern. Although color can vary between white, red, and brown for recently hogs that have recently gone feral, the most common color in established feral hog populations is black. This is probably because predators, even hunters, select for easily spotted animals. In addition, because feral hogs are often times active at night, black blends well.
A mature feral hog may reach a shoulder height of 32 to 38 inches and weigh from 100 pounds up 400 pounds. Male hogs, or boars, are generally larger than the females, or sows. Hogs that are very large in size are generally not far removed from domestication, meaning that individual, its parents, or grandparents were likely domestic hogs.
Wild hogs are omnivores, generally categorized as opportunistic feeders, and typically consume between 3% and 5% of their total body mass daily. They exhibit a generalist diet consuming a variety of food sources which allows them to thrive across a wide range of environments. Throughout their range their diet is mostly herbivorous, shifting seasonally and regionally among grasses, mast, shoots, roots, tubers, forbs, and cacti as resource availability changes
Wild hogs have been listed as one of the top 100 worst exotic invasive species in the world. In 2007, researchers estimated that each wild hog carried an associated (damage plus control) cost of $300 per year, and at an estimated 5 million wild pigs in the population at the time, Americans spent over $1.5 billion annually in damages and control costs. Assuming that the cost-per-wild hog estimate has remained constant, the annual costs associated with wild pigs in the United States are likely closer to $2.1 billion today.
Most damage caused by wild hogs is through either rooting or the direct consumption of plant and animal materials

im going to a superb owl party
Upvote for buffalo cauliflower not football
The what now?
Wait, Tom Brady is somehow in the fuckin' SB again?
I hated him before he won the Pats their first, and he's part of why I stopped being a Patriots fan.
BRING BACK STEVE GROGAN
:blob-stabby:
yes
I was (supposedly) wearing Steve Grogan gear in the cradle....
Every Patriots QB before Drew Bledsoe was hot doodoo
i assume you mean before and including Drew Bledsoe
Brady > Bledsoe > Grogan
Grogan may have been tough as shit but Bledsoe was the better QB.
Why would I let my judgement of quarterbacks be tainted by their actual talent level?
That’s wild I literally got all the ingredients to make Buffalo cauliflower tomorrow. I’ve never made it before. Any tips?
How are you doing them? Main thing is not letting the cauliflower get too soft
I was going to put them inside frying pan with some Olive oil. Then cover them in Buffalo sauce and put them in the oven
