    We hardly ever keep or clean them. Typically we drag them to an out of the way area and shoot coyotes off them. I know other pigs will eat them but I've never personally seen it only evidence of such. Only things I've seen eat a deceased pig is coyotes, badgers, opossum, vultures and bald eagles.

    I'll add to your list- Bobcats, Red-tailed Hawks and Great horned owls.

    My big concern about shooting hogs is how to get rid of them. Our place isn't big enough to just leave them lying around. We raise horses and have coral board fences. I think they discourage hogs but can't swear to it.
    Gut shot... they'll run off to your neighbors place

    I never knew of bobcats as scavengers of carrion. I know skunks and possums will root through a dead hog .

    We set up a trail cam on one big hog we shot and over a week lots of buzzards, ravens, crows, jays, an occasional red-tail hawk and some caracaras or Mexican eagles were all over it. Oddly enough, no 'yotes or other four legged predators.

    Quite possibly corn starch. Corn starch is recommended for 1st aid for chicken bleeding. My rooster also carries a tourniquet.
    Pics of rooster? (No OOC!!!!)
    Sorry to be late with picture, he's been attending an advanced trauma class.

    He'd just got back from the 1st aid class (which was held in Amarillo) & the flannel shirt, though necessary up in the panhandle, was too warm for home. He'd just taken the shirt off & thrown it when I took the picture.

    That answer is much better....
