I know they trap and feed them corn for a short while in Texas and the south east, and many eat them as hunted as well.

My understanding is in some places they are so numerous and destructive that they are just destroyed and not utilized.

There are rumors of wild pigs along the nearest river to me, but we have javelinas, the natives (which are also seasonally hunted for food and trophy) around here (Arizona)
