Marku,I think you mean Feral hogs. Feeder hog are domestic feeder hogs grown on the farm with commercial feed,maybe grass or hay. But you are right,small pigs are the tastesly! I 'd use that blackpowder gun on them!

Their class is "Feeder size" which is smaller than others. Feeder size is 200.00 and to shoot a giant is 400.00. I figured since this is a one time thing ill shoot a Giant one. Im planning on taking that 7mm-300wsm with 180gr Berger on it. My SMI encore 209x50 is a hell of a thumper though!

Here in Texas the best eating feral pigs are 30-75lb females. The big males at 200+ lbs have a strong taste. We hunt them at night as the big ones move around my place around 2-3am. The big ones seem to travel in two's or three's while the females and smaller pigs move earlier and are in groups of 15-20. Of course that's just on my little part of the planet.

Go for ones under 100lbs and sows if you get a shot.
