Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg doesn't kill his own food anymore - but he still enjoys the thrill of the hunt.

The billionaire executive talked about his bowhunting hobby in response to a comment on his recent Facebook post announcing his New Year's resolutions.

"I miss the 'I'm going to personally kill what I eat' days," a commenter said, referencing one of Zuckerberg's previous challenges in which he vowed to personally kill any meat that he ate for a year.

Zuckerberg replied that he still goes hunting, "these days mostly with a bow and arrow though." He added that his game of choice is wild boar.

It's not clear if Zuckerberg was serious about hunting wild boars - shooting "feral hogs" was a meme last year that originated from a viral tweet debating the merits of owning assault rifles. A spokesperson for Zuckerberg did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

However, wild boars are abundant across the East Coast and parts of California, according to the National Wild Pig Task Force. The USDA has urged hunters to target the hogs, which are an invasive species.
