I am going to let 2 of the grandsons try to take a couple of hogs this weekend.
You had posted on the old board about having good success with making your

Make sure none of the hogs is an albino. Otherwise, you'll get the Spanish Inquisition.

In my experience, a lot of wild hogs aren't that great, too tough and lean. But if you were to trap em, feed em for a couple months then ya got something.

Agreed. The mature ones are given to some people n town to make barbacoa.
I have taken a lot of youngsters and they are good eating.
