re: Do you process your own hogs?

Masterag, as mentioned before im not too far from you. Check out the hog trapping thread in the stickied OB thread above. LINK There are detailed instructions and pics. I would be glad to come hunt some pigs with you and show you how I clean them. Many here can testify to the quality of the sausage, pulled pork, and other wild hog meats I bring to the table and I process 90% of it myself.




Fwiw, I only wear gloves when cleaning hogs so I dont have to scrub the blood from under my nails. Sows, boars, under 100, over 100, all taste fine. Just get it on ice quickly and dont stress out the hog before death (head shots for eaters). Hog diseases are actually fairly rare in himans and easily treated once dx.
