My BIL has heard stories about people turning domestic pigs loose to "improve" the pig hunting, if true would be a very good reason for the wild pig population to rise.

We have large herds of them here in NE Texas. A while back the USDA was shooting them from choppers in my area. At times they had as many as three in the air at one time. One of the pilots said there was a herd of one hundred or more across from me.
The damage they do has to be seen to be believed. They are also a very dangerous animal to be in close contact with.
As to wild hogs being good to eat........... They are quite tasty. In the cool months, wild hogs keep my smoker busy.

I just shot this feral hog in my backyard with one shot @ 146 yards this past weekend:
Then, while I went in to retrieve my camera, a coyote was sniffing the freshly killed carcass so he joined the party with another shot....
Tasty?????
You BET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never in my life did I figure a freshly killed 450 pound hog would make great coyote bait!!!!

It is all Ham on the grill.
Here is the lower jaw of the huge boar I shot three weeks ago, he was a kissin' cousin of Monster Boar #2 who bit the dust this past weekend....
No way would I want to get any piece of me into those cutters!

Skypup, you ought to place a tape measure across the points of those "tushies" and take another pic. What's the "outside spread" of the points? I'm going to guess 11-12" considering those are 2x6's on that table top.
Tasty?????

Do you recon there might be a Coyote population explosion over the next few years with all this 'free' food - or do you restrict hog hunts to certain times of the year?
