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!

My stepmom sent me an email about a phone for the hearing impaired and I found it to be quite an interesting phone and free to acquire by sending off the proper paperwork to this company. I'll leave the link for those that want to check it out...leave some feedback here and tell me what you think.

I went with my school kids to see an interpreted Broadway performance of Annie today. It was such great fun!

I often watch YouTubes that are in ASL and enjoy them even though I don't know ASL...someday, I will and will enjoy them even more then.
