Great picture but thats a bad thing to see. Sadly, no bacon from wild pigs.

No bacon, but very good slow roasted under ground in banana leaves. Hawaiian style.

“The new houses go up, and the hogs leave for a while, but they always come back,” Pompi says. He mentions the communes for adults over 55 in central Florida like The Villages, the fastest-growing metropolitan area in the US from 2010-2017, and its smaller counterpart, Solivita, a planned community inhabited by 6,000 baby boomers – Xanadu for the “active adult”.

I've been fortunate enough to harvest many hundreds of them, there isn't a bad way to cook them. I tend to just make them into sausage.

Fun facts- Baby pigs keep their racing stripes until they are 6 months of age (they look like chipmunk stripes) at that time they are ready to breed and can give birth 3 times a year.
That pic puts it right at 5-6 months old.

OP- I really enjoy all your pics. Thank you
