To: right way right

Hogs eat everything. Meat, vegetable, nuts in the shell, acorns, twinkies, you name it.
Although, they really, really like chuffa, a type of weedy, grasslike sedge, for the little tiny nodules on its roots. Same stuff sold in grourmet stores as “tiger nuts.”
They will root up a field like rototillers to get at those things.
And wild hogs are delicious when butchered right and cooked properly. Even more so if some rednecks’ caught them when they were young and cut their nuts before release back into the wild. Yes, people do that for sport in hopes of shooting the hogs when they’ve had a chance to put on more weight because eliminating the hormones makes a huge improvement in meat quality.
