Not too many years ago I have seen piney wood rooters sold at a sale barn before by hunters to help pay for their hunting lease fees. Those bastards would run the pen handlers absolutely ape shite trying to shuffle them to the auction pit, they were very aggressive!

Sorry you guys don't know the expression. They actually have hogs bred to produce great meat. I know that's hard to believe.
You couldn't be more wrong, 4H show hogs are some of the best pork I have ever ate in my life. You can buy them and have them slaughtered. You can also buy piglets and raise them yourself. But you can't just feed them anything or you get just a fat pig, you have to feed them high protein feed. My wife's uncle raised some and they were great to eat as well.

Pretty sure I've told this tale here before. If you attempt this, DONT do what we did.
The year was 19 and 95 I b'leve.....we had stopped in this little hardware store on highway 71, north of shreveport, to pick something up. The proprietors, a well known local couple who also have a farm north of shreveport - both friends of ours - saw that we were in camo, and the lady of the couple began to give me and my cousin the "woe is me" over the hogs decimating her corn. We asked her for permission to go into her farm to trap them, and she obliged. We told her what we'd done....built a hog pen.....as we planned to trap them, grain feed them to get the Wild out.......she assured us that all they were eating was corn, but, I digress.....the great hog hunt of 95 was on.
We ordered some snares from that catalog that sells all the trapping supplies. Can't think of it's name, but yAll know it. They sell hard to get items like steel traps and hoop nets and stuff. I think it's out of the Jena area. The snares came in, set set them in their runs, and went back to check the next day. BOOM, two hogs. One looked like it was strait out of the pig farm. The other looked like he was straight out of a horror movie, with long hair, longer tusk, and not long on manners. SOB WAS MEAN, ya heard?
Now what do we do. Ran back into town, grabbed a few cousins, and back to the set. We summized that w/long poles, we could run the hog around the tree, giving him no free line with which to work. Then, some of the younger cousins would bum rush him, get him on the ground, on his back, duck tape his legs, bag over his head, and take them up to the pen, about 15 miles away.
Well, it actually worked. We're headed up 71, hogs hog tied in the back of the truck.
We each grab a leg of the not so rough looking pig, another cousin cuts the tape, and we pitch him towards the back of the pen. No problem.
Then, we did the same thing to that rough looking, big nutted, long haired boar. Let me tell you, when a critter like that wants out of a hog pen, he's getting out......he takes off running at full blast towards one of the 4 inch hog wire "walls", ran a hole clean through it, and when I tell you he never slowed down, HE NEVER SLOWED DOWN. It looked like a cartoon.
The other one walked right out behind him. We never caught another one.

The moral of that story is "When you have them caught, kill them"

Negative ghost rider. I like wild pig, but it's not in the same ballpark as store bought pig.

Have killed dozens of wild hogs....butchered some straight from the woods and have brought some home and fed them out. As a kid I raised domestic hogs for 4H and FFA and butchered several. At no time EVER from ANYONE until this post has a person suggested a Wild Hog as being better than a farm raised domestic.

I'm not sure what kind of tastes the people around you have, but modern farm raised domestic pigs have no flavor and corn finished wild hogs are much better if you actually like pork.
Pork should not be "The other white meat"

I think so. If not, my family has been breaking the law for a long time now. My grandpa always had hog traps set. He had getting them into his pen down to a science. Had a trap that was built to the same height as his trailer, so you could just back into it and the hog couldn't get out. Then his pen had a ramp built into it the same height as the trailer, also, so just lift the gate on the trailer and the hog runs into the pen.
One of my cousins in the Rayne area has been doing this for years. It puts some cash in his pocket.

If you feed hogs for a couple weeks, you don't have to worry about them breaking out. If you have young sows penned up a boar will come start hanging around the outside of your pen wanting in.

What is a blooded meat hog?
This would be a hog that has a domesticated hog as a close ancestor. Kind of like the "listed" hogs (those with the white band around them). These aren't too far from their Hampshire ancestor. We have a lot of them like that because we used to introduce some domestic crossbreeds into our wild population to improve the herd.
