Hi Coley
The perceived wisdom is that wild hogs will not over-feed, although I believe it can happen when they are with a carer (i.e. have been sick or injured). It might be the males who are dashing off – potentially looking for females. When I see a male hog tearing around, I always think of it as him being on patrol. So tearing off to the regular places he visits to see who is there. So it might be the females who are taking their time about eating.
