In BSL, the sign for wild is middle finger pointed in (think signing an 8 but not touching thumb). Both hands. Start at middle of chest. Go up and out. Left hand then right hand. Almost simultaneously. It will look similar to an upside down j if you were drawing the letter in the air.
I'm not positive of the ASL sign for wild.

WILD is a loan sign in ASL. So, it is fingerspelled but in a unique way (hard to explain in writing) BANK, STYLE and EARLY are other examples of loan signs.
Some people also sign crazy with a W for wild.
The sign you are describing is EXCITED in ASL. So, it works in certian contexts. Like, DOG MINE, EXCITED (my dog is wild!!!)
Hope that helps!
