If you don't have a place to go or friends to go with, using a guide service or going to a hunting ranch is probably the best bet. They will get you into hunting spots where you will be pretty certain of connecting. These guys are good:

I have not tried either of these two places personally but have a friend who swears by them:

Here is where I was this year.







Both pigs this year were very small. Both weighed under 100#

Last year they went slightly over 100#. This photo is from last year. I am the handsome devil on the right.

Great pics and info. Thank you for sharing!

One last question. How do they taste?

One last question. How do they taste?

Not like chicken. More like pork. Mmmmmmm bacon!

I was wondering if you could smoke any portion of those and if they'd taste okay still (with consideration to them being wild and all).

I know a couple guys who go to Texas each year for hogs. We get a small package of chops for grilling and they always taste great. Would never know they are wild.

Full disclosure - I sacrifice to the pork grillin gods at least twice a week and am really biased about pork of any kind.

Hope to go along next year. A five pound package of chops ain't gettin it done anymore. I need at least 2 hogs to meet my addiction.

I've smoked everything so far and it has been great.
