The Wild Boar of Texas are not the pink, curly-tailed pig of the domestic barnyard. They are the feral descendants of pigs brought from Europe. Firstly pigs were imported as food for exploration and colonization, and more recently for game hunting. These Wild Boar provide a deeply authentic flavor of hunted game. The Wild Boar survive on a foraged diet of acorns, hickory nuts, pecan, and seeds. The Summer fattening is at its peak with a long season of fruits, grasses, mushrooms, and eggs. Their varied diet offers a very intense "pork" for any menu. Hunting is open, but your hunt for sensational swine is over.

Most Bison ranchers are also noted as being environmental stewards – sustainable farming being of paramount importance to them. As a result, eating Bison has become another way for people to “go green.” It is becoming a frequent substitute for beef at the dinner table and at fine restaurants. “It seems Bison has the ability to put on its jeans and be as casual as a burger at the corner pub," reports Dave Carter, executive director of the National Bison Association (NBA), "and it also can be served at black tie affairs at very high end restaurants and diplomatic dinner parties.”
