Default Starting Hogs

This may sound like a dumb idea but I own about 60 acres of wooded land in Southwest Virginia. Hogs are few in this area but there are 2-3 killed each year within 50 miles of me. I raise two hogs a year on my farm for meat but have thought aboutkeepinga litter for about six months and then turning them out with the sow just to see if I can get them started on my place. I have automatic feeders so they won't see man daily and should stay wild. We are never on the property except for hunting season. Will they take or do you think they will be an easy meal for predators?
