Tom, I have an Aunt that won't eat chicken(free ranging or otherwise)because she knows they eat their own feces. I think its odd, but I'm sure there are a lot of people out there that probably feel the same way about chickens and other animals. As far as hogs and what they eat, your right, they'll eat just about anything, plant or animal. Years back we shot a sow at last light that weighted about 150 pounds. We decided to leave it and knew that it wouldn't go to waste, as the coyotes scavenge and eat anything they can find, (and they find everything) and probably outnumbered the deer on the lease. Next day I walked about a mile to the deer blind and got there about an hour before first light. As it started to get light I heard grunting so I got the rifle ready. When I finally could see, four or five hogs were tearing into the sow(taking turns at at eating)and throwing the carcass around on the ground.
