My grandfather told me that when he was a kid they trapped for a living and they would feed the carcasses of whatever they skinned (Muskrat,Coon’s) to their domestic pigs.

I’m not sure that a hog has any boundaries to what it will or will not eat.

When people talk about wild hog meat being really gamey and Smelling and all that it’s been eating dead shite.

Aren't they notorious for cleaning up a battle field?

What’s inside a feral hog’s stomach?

Snakes, turtles, rabbits, nutria, turkey eggs, turkey babies, baby trees.


I’m going to say yes.

Scientists found plenty of surprises during the initial peeks into pig bellies, but the biggest shocker for LaCour was the massive volume of worms.


Gross.

A boar/pig will eat damned near anything.

After gutting & skinning steer at my grandpa's, we'd leave the hide and guts in my Grandpa's hog lot. The next morning you couldn't find a trace of said steer. If that happens with fed domestic hogs, I can't imagine wild hogs would be more discerning.

Yes. Hogs will eat anything edible. Fawn, raccoon, fox, anything they can get to.

Fresh kill doesn't bother them in the slightest.

Rising Tide mentions hogs chowing down on dead folks after the 1927 flood.
