For over two months most of the wild hogs in this area have been dining on corn, milo, soybeans, livestock pellets, creep feed and blackeyed peas from deer feeders. They are also on the wheat fields.
Today my hog trapping partner took a big boar from one of our traps. That hog field dressed 312 pounds and was moderately fat. The hog was cleaned and scraped. He will be cooked in the ground on New Years day.
All the bad tasting hog meat i have ever encountered was contaminated and/or rotten hog meat.
This hog weighed 384 pounds on the hoof.

The wife of the man i gave that hog to made some of the best stuff i ever ate from that animal.
