Most cut and turn back out so it'll be ok to eat later on.
Why cut the males? Does it really help with population control? I know they say it doesn't with feral cat/dog populations. There goal is the females. Is it so later on if you catch/kill them they taste better? Curious?
What makes a boar stink and rank is from breeding/ chasing sows , and fighting , if he is cut all he is worried about is eating , it’s just to make them better eating if u are lucky enough to kill him later , and I have killed some later that we have cut , we notch their ear also !I say do it.
What is the difference from a trap and a pen? Is it a trap is temporary? I know folks that have a large trap made from chain link, Looks like a pen to me. Is it the trap door?

Them ba'rs get fat and slick, mighty tasty, nothing to do with population control.
I would have to say it does.
If you had 2 Bars and 10 sows ant the end of the year you would have 12 hogs.
If you had 2 Boars and 10 sows at the end of the year you would likely have 100
Your friend seems to have a lot of questions pertaining to topics on this forum !
Is it legal in Ga to keep live feral hogs and raise them

Actually he is legally correct , we actually caught several lately and released the small boars after cutting them , we just recently had this discussion on here and I called the GDA myself and was told if wasn’t holding them more than 24 hrs they could be released where they are caught 404-656-3671
It is unlawful to release a feral hog once captured.
O.C.G.A. § 27-3-31 section B(i) "...no person shall release any trapped or transported feral hog into any area that is not fenced to prevent the escape of such feral hog onto the land of another."
Unfortunately the person you spoke with was mistaken. This law is being enforced by DNR Law Enforcement Division.
So if you trapped a wild hog on your property,, and put it in a pen on your property to feed it and fatten it up , that is technically legal ?
