I depends on the pig. Lean ones yeah, I'll add some domestic fat. Not with a good fat one though. I make sure in careful skinning to keep as much as possible with the meat and call it good.
I've always trimmed all the fat off of wild hogs. I get the local grocery stores to save enough pork fat/trimmings to get close to 75/25%, then I add the cheapest bacon ends and pieces.
It depends on how much fat is on the wild pig. I’ll go as high as a 60/40 mix of wild with domestic pork butts (60 being wild) and I’ve also gone straight wild if they’ve got a lot of fat on them.
