They're BAACCCKKKKK

How do they roast compared to a farmed raised hogs. I've done a few 110-165 lbs farm pigs. 250-300 degrees start'em around 11pm-12am night before eats around 2pm next day. I am fortunate to have a friend with a toe behind cooker. I'm thinking the farm raised probably are more fatty so cook time might not be as long with a wild hog. I cook them back to the coals and fill the body up with orange, and pineapple juice, inject it with same, salt it down and make little slices and fill them with garlic. Honestly its hard to mess them up slow cooking them as long as temp stays consistent.

They're lean, mean, and have ornery dispositions, but other than that, they're the same animal, same meat as a farm pig.

Yep, the suckers are smart too. This pig will never go into a trap again:

Nice pics. That hog is actually 'jumping', but they will try to climb out of a trap too, even if it has vertical sides (seen it many times).

And you are right, IF they manage to escape they will NOT go back in a trap.
