Lots of garlic and onions. ;-)
I've found that helps a lot.

Along with a lot of fresh herbs.

Smoking/grilling also.

Marinate the pork or any wild meat you want to unwild in milk for about 1
hr. Works well.

You could try some the trick people use on venison like strong marinades. I
like lemon and rosemary with pork. You could mix up a paste of some olive
oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, pepper, rosemary, and garlic. Rub it on
the pork and refrigerate for about 24 hours before grilling or roasting.

We have wild pigs in our back yard at night. They come out of the
rainforest to eat the Macadamia nuts. They have squealy pig fights and
seemingly go in herds as I can hear a few out there.

There is pig hunting in Hawaii.

I agree with the OP...we once shot and ate some of the wild pig and it
was too strong in flavor. "Gamey" comes to mind.

I live in Texas and a guy I work with hunts the pigs at night for farmers
who want to get rig of them, because they are destroying thier crops.
Do a Google image search for "wild pig"
The wild dark haired ones with long sharp teeth, is what I have in my deep
freeze.

Are these "real" pigs, or are they javalinas?

I can't stand the taste of javalinas. They are not actually "pigs".

Do you mean a pig that got loose, or boar? In any case, I'd marinate it with
juniper berries. Here's a recipe off my site, http://italianfood.about.com:

Juniper berries are traditionally used in cooking boar, hare, and other
game. Should boar not be available where you live, this will work well with
venison too. It will serve 4-6.

* A leg of boar, weighing about 3 pounds
* 1 tablespoon juniper berries
* A clove of garlic
* 1/4 pound (100 g) lardons
* A half a medium onion
* A 2-inch (5 cm) piece of carrot
* A 2-inch (5 cm) stalk of celery
* A bunch of parsley
* A bay leaf
* Good red wine
* 1/2 cup (50 g) melted butter
* 1/3 cup ( 80 ml) broth
* Salt and pepper to taste

If you buy fresh boar, make sure that the animal was young. If it wasn't,
marinate the meat for three days with a full bodied red wine. If you instead
buy frozen meat, you will only need to thaw it.

Come cooking time, lardon the meat and preheat your oven to 430 F (215 C).

Grind together a clove of garlic, the juniper berries, a couple of grains of
pepper, and a pinch of salt; rub the meat with this mixture and set it in a
casserole. Sprinkle the meat with the melted butter, crumble the laurel leaf
over it, and pop it into the oven.

Roast the meat for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, mince and sauté the onion, celery,
parsley, and carrot in a tablespoon of butter, then stir in the broth and
heat through. Add the herbs to the meat, sprinkle it with the wine, reduce
the temperature to 390 F (195 C), and continue roasting for another 2 hours,
turning the meat occasionally and basting it frequently with the drippings.

When the meat is done remove it to a serving platter. Reduce the drippings
over a brisk flame, pour them over the meat, and serve. This goes well with
roast potatoes.

The chops I'd marinate in buttermilk overnight. The roast I'd inject
with liquid pork fat from a domestic pig....I think you'll be amazed at
what this will do.

I watch the Calorie Commando occasionally and he puts 1/4 cup of course
Dijon mustard in Buttermilk to marinate and add flavor.
Sounds good and I am going to try it on some bnls. thighs this weekend.

Real hogs. They're feral animals, escaped from farms way back when
and gone native. In my opinion, hunting them is an instance of fair
play. They'd as soon eat the hunter as anything else.

Very popular hunting game in the southern midwest. (I think that's where
the Arkansas Razorbacks take their name from?)

http://www.coestatepark.com/wild_pig.htm

Someone once gave me burgers of half wild pig half venison he had killed.
They were delicious. Just a quick browning.

Can be either wild boar, which is the original that pigs
were domesticated from, or ferral hogs, which are
domesticated pigs that escaped and live in the wild. I
suppose since they can interbreed that's a floating
point range of mixtures not a binary either-or.

Places that specialize in exotic meats might carry it.
I've had wild boar at one Yule dinner that was special
ordered. www.exoticmeats.com comes to mind if you have
plenty of money to toss at your desire.
