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.

Yep, don't get knocked out or fall asleep in the hog pen.

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?

(unintentionally)

They’re notorious for being good disposers of dead bodies

What’s inside a feral hog’s stomach?

I’m going to say yes.

Gross.

A boar/pig will eat damned near anything.

I raised 2 wild hogs in my dog yard a while back. The loved old ground deer meat and old cow bones.

It's shocking how fast they will clean shite out.

Nothing is left. They'll wipe out dead hog and deer carcasses overnight.

You get hurt in the woods at night and are on the ground don't go to sleep lol

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.
