If your just shootin'em for free (your crazy if your payin) the ditch is a great processing place! Those things stink and I hate them.
Seriously if you don't wanna cut them up yourself leave'em laying there, thats what I always did. 2busy might be correct about processors not being able to take wild hogs, dunno about that one. I will say this, if you don't know how to butcher something it would be a great learning experience. Ya can't screw it up and by that I mean if you don't like the way it comes out, just pitch the thing. All that really matters is that hog is dead.
Did I mention they stink and I hate them?

Terry's Taxidermy in OKC will process them.
I'm pretty sure BadWin45 uses them. You might drop him a PM for more info..

Terry's does a good job on processing. A bit high, but you do get what you pay for with their processing. Taxidermy....well eehhh not so much.
Yeah they stink, but they are very good eating once you get them processed IMO. One of the nastiest cleaning jobs I know that I've done. But once you get past the smell, mites, worms, and funky green nasty growths there's some decent meat there.
