It was only a few years ago when a good buddy brought to my attention the feral hogs. It was logical. Of course the overnight wounded were in peril -- on almost any rural battlefield in the south. In the rural areas, you turned the hogs, and sometimes cattle, out to feed on mast and whatever. Fences were to keep them out of your garden. Hogs were particularly well adapted to live in the woods without investment in feed. I'll not object to the idea that hogs were present at Gettysburg, but the style of farming there precludes that feral hogs were a major presence. I'd welcome an opposing view to adjust my perception.
