    Wild hogs, also called feral hogs look like domestic pigs but usually have more hair and tusks. Turn a pig loose and it's tusks will grow over time since it has to root for food. It's hair will usually grow too. I'm not sure if this is just a result of the pigs getting older then they normally are butchered at. I'm not a pig farmer so I have no idea how old the pigs are when they go to market. My brother, a friend and I have all taken wild pigs. The size of the tusks seemed to relate to the size of the hog and they all had hair longer than a domestic pig. The wild pigs in our area were pigs that got loose from an Amish farm. They got into the woods and when the Amish family moved they just left them. They also had some goats get loose so we see them running wild also. When we are deer hunting you never know what you'll see. I'm no wildlife biologist, I can just tell you what I've seen.
