When Is "Market Hunting" a Good Thing?
Wild Boar Market hunting made the passenger pigeon and Labrador duck extinct yet "hunters" in general get the blame ... despite the fact we're the greatest put-your-money-where-your-mouth-is conservationists. But when it comes to managing out-of-control invasive species market hunting may become a vital tool. It's already starting!

Take highly destructive wild hogs in the South. We noticed Creminelli Fine Meats new product—"Wild Boar Salami"—is made from "field harvested Texas wild boar." That's PC-speak for "killed by hunters."

And ever since alligators began to cause concern about family cats and dogs and children hunting seasons are reopening. While these are controlled hunts with scientifically set quotas meat and hides end up for sale.

Then there's Chef Phillip Foss at the Lockwood Restaurant in Chicago. He's serving gourmet-fancy, but reportedly delicious dishes featuring "Lockwood Shanghai Bass." What's that? You know those Asian jumping carp everyone's worried will reach the Great Lakes? The ones you've seen videos about with guys and gals "wing shooting" them with bows? Yep, Foss has a way to get the bones out of 'em, and is promoting a commercial market.

whether "market hunting" is all bad ... it could land you a tasty dinner.
