A friend took me hunting on his lease in TX and I got a nice young sow (about 80 lbs). I made sausage, cured a couple hams, and I still get grief for gouging my wife's kitchen counter with the sawzall cutting pork chops. It was every bit as good as any domestic pork I have eaten. It was more lean, but I didn't notice a difference in flavor. I guess like anything else, an older boar would have a stronger flavor.
I shot mine, but the friend I hunted with would run a trap when he was at his lease. He would usually get one or two in a weekend using just deer corn as bait (although he caught a deer once too, and let it go). Other guys would trap them and sell them, and another guy would trap them and fatten them up before he butchered them.
The story I heard was that the farmers during the depression couldn't afford to feed the pigs, or would loose the farm and just let the pigs go wild. It doesn't take them long to revert to their wild stage and they can multiply like rabbits.
