I noted that was a old practice in South East and many other areas up to WW2 or when fence laws became on books- the Foxfire books note that was practice in Carolinas, Tennesee, Kentucky for the free range hogs that would be butchered- round them up in fall, check ear notch and send to owners, put in fenced future or current garden patch and feed corn for 2 weeks at least to remove tannic acid flavor from eating acorns, etc in woods, then butcher. Fence laws stopped the free range practice in 1920s to 1930s so hogs got a rotating pasture section for spring farrowing, some confinements and sold. Family hogs as you do still get the late garden buffet before being invited to (be the) main course over holidays. Some Amish and Mennonite groups still do it, some western states are still range law- Texas suffers from the free range feral hogs that weren't rounded up in time, Southern californis parks have some feral herds derived from farm released before forclosures in the 1930's. Local Wisconsin south west corner has had some feral hog damage past couple years- hunting laws last year changed to let them be mostly open hunted. Couple suburban gardens got the hog treatment from potbellied pigs- owners found out that letting them eat all they want turned the 60 pound pet into a 200+ pound nuisance. Chinese restuarant cook offered to take them- the well marbled meat works best in some recipes. Garden did real good next year. RN

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
