In Benjamin Texas a 27 year old trapper named Chad Tolson traps feral hogs and sells the meat to upscale restaurants for about 35 dollars a plate. Wildlife experts call feral hogs a nuisance spreading across rural Texas as Tolson describes the hogs as lucrative, fast moving game that can weigh up to 400 pounds and cause damage to crops fences and stock tanks.
