wild hogs don't taste a lot like farm raised pork they kind of got a taste of their own. we kill a few every month during deer season but in mississippi you can hunt them anytime and we do, when hunting in the warm and hot months you got to get them cool fast. you got to have a want to attitude to clean and butcher wild hogs because they are crawling in lice and ticks,like some others said get them to a car wash and clean the crap out of them quick. wild hogs don't have hardly any fat at all. i keep mine on ice for a few days keeping the water drained before eating. if you see a sow and boar are chasing her don't shoot her leave her alone and shoot the boars. sows in heat have a strong taste that will make your eyes water if you try cooking them in the house. big hogs are tougher to eat as with any game but piglets are the hardest to skin sort of like trying to skin a football. wild hogs come out in the daytime but most are night feeders. they are some of the hardest critters to kill, bullet placement is key, either a heart lung,spine or behind the ear head shot is needed. shoot them to far back and you will have a hard time finding them if you ever do. the biggest one i have killed was a 300#boar it had loins big as my leg and was the best eating hog ever. but nothing beats piglets in the crock-pot.
