Never ate a wild pig

A pig is a pig. The bacons will be a little leaner depending on what they have been eating.

Wild or domestic it is still the other white meat. I just tends to be a bit leaner as muleman said.

As already said, the meat will be more lean but if the pig was shot in the hardwood, the meat will have a delightful nut taste, all in all, a great meat.

I've never eaten wild pig in any form but sausage, and what I have had is good. What I have had was from Italy.

It's as others have said, good meat but leave the big boars alone. If not butchered properly they can be strong, almost rank and inedible or at least that's my experience.

There used to be a nice little business in East Texas of trapping them, cleaning them out for a few days and shipping them to the big city. There was a good gourmet market for the meat because it was leaner and people were willing to pay a premium for it. I don't hear of that being done much anymore but then again, I'm maybe moving in the wrong circles.
