Killed my first hog... Now what?
Posted on 12/29/14 at 11:15 am

It's a 175 pound sow. Killed her last night right before dark. I skinned and quartered just like a deer, keeping the backstraps, tenderloins and ribs also. Everything is now in an ice chest covered with ice, just like I do with my deer meat.
Should I take the shoulders and hind quarters to be processed? If so, what do I get? Where should I bring it near BR? Is it possible (or worth it) to try and cut out a roast or 2? Aren't there several glands that I need to avoid?
The backstraps and tenderloins: what to do with these?
And I'm assuming that I can cook the ribs just like any other pork ribs.

any other questions?

I usually just smoke the hindquarters whole. If there's stuff I'm supposed to pull out of them I've never noticed it.

Nope, that's all for now.

Yep, sausage.

Cook them like any other pork loin.

Sure.
Nice pic of the snout. That's what we call a Piney Woods Rooter.
We've been seeing a lot more Russian Boar influenced hogs lately that have more of a blocky head and snout.

I personally would bring it to the whitetail butcher shop in a mite and get sausage made out of the whole thing...

can a 30-06 penetrate the head of a 200+lb hog?

Good job on the kill. No glands to worry about on sows as far as I know.
Bring the pig to any processor you know that processes deer. They should be able to help suggest different ways to process the meat (sausage, ground meat, etc.) As far as the backstraps wrap in bacon and treat it like a pork loin. Through them on the grill or smother in onions. Same with tenderloins.
Goodluck cleaning the ribs enough.

That's a clown question bro
Posted on 12/29/14 at 11:36 am to Chad504boy
I'm not the expert, but yeah, I'd say so.
I don't think any are pure, but Russian boars were bought in and one would assume they'd be more dominant when it comes to breeding rights. A daddy breeding a daughter and so on doesn't take long to breed the other blood to a minimum.

I've killed a 400lb Hampshire pig with a .22lr to the skull from 12" away. 30-06 will kill an elephant if you shoot him in the skull I'm pretty sure.

cool, if given opportunity, i'd rather head shoot the mother fricker, i would hate for it to run 30 yards into woods and i get tired of looking for him.

This was a 70 yd shot with a 30-06. Blood was everywhere and she went about 10 yds. No tracking needed.
Posted on 12/29/14 at 11:49 am to Chad504boy
Second largest hog I have killed 246 lbs was with a 22LR to the ear hole from just under 50 yards.
a 30-06 will most definitely kill it if shot in the skull

Every question in this thread is answered in the above link including skull of a hog shot in head with 308, how to kill em with 22, and what to do with dead hogs.
