From the thread title I figured somebody wanted to talk about out biker gangs.

The larger Harleys are pretty universally called "Hogs" (pronounced Hawgs) and quite a few of the larger "clubs" are mostly "Hawg Riders."

In the southeast part of the US, most of the feral hogs are escaped domestics that have gone wild, and they're generally big, ugly, and mean. A 300 pound one isn't too rare, and larger ones are occasionally reported.

In parts of the southwest, the wild ones are smaller, and the locals argue about whether they're something native or if they came from livestock gone wild. In southern Arizona they call them "javalenas," and one much over 100 pounds is fairly rare; but their reputation is that they're "naturally bad tempered" and can be exceedingly dangerous when encountered unexpectedly.

Javalenas eat coyotes (and occasionally tourists). Few people that I've heard of hunt them with dogs, 'cause you lose too many dogs that way.
