You think Texas has wild-hog problems?

At least they’re not on Dallas streets or tearing up Valley Ranch for the Cowboys

Wild hogs are, though, doing the equivalent of that in Berlin. More than 200 have been killed in auto accidents there in the last eight months, even as they dig up lawns, parks , and soccer fields with their snouts.

The city of Berlin has commissioned urban hunters, but they’re facing problems.

Many Green-ish people in Berlin are so Green, or green, as to assault hunters trying to do their work. Some are even feeding the hogs.

And, wild hogs are smart enough that they’re starting to figure out hunters’ patterns, such as hunters being restricted on what shots they can take in urban areas.

That said, if you haven’t had wild hog, it’s relatively lean and healthy compared to a grain-fed domestic porker, and, depending on what it’s eaten, can have a more complex and pleasant taste than “Wilbur.”

That’s assuming you’re eating a young sow and not an old boar.

Anyway, the full story is worth a good read.
