Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How does Wild Hog compare to domestic Pig meat wise

Well, there's wild hog and there's wild hog. What most call wild hog is really feral pig. I've hunted both. Real wild hogs taste pretty much the same as feral pig, assuming they've been eating the same type of diet. These two species are really the domesticated vs the wild version of the same animal, sort of like the difference between a wolf and a feral dog. How lean they are is determined strictly by their diets. Gameyness has more to do with how the meat is handled after the kill than anything else.
