Need your input guys. Joined a new lease that has these bastards, other members generally kill and waste the meat. I am looking for your favorite cooking methods.

Killed a 120 pounder and having smoked sausage made. Currently have hind hams and backstrap from a sweet little 60 pounder on ice from Saturday?

Assume they are better fresh... But ok to freeze? Any kind of aging process that benefits the taste quality??

brining helps with moisture.

there is a OB cook book in the linked thread above.

smoke them hams for 4-6 hrs at 200 get internal temp to 160. Use rosemary and cracked peppercorn on the the meat and applewood to smoke.

If it got big set of nuts then I got one step recipe that involve a trash can

If it sow then grill, gravy, or most any method will be fine

yes definitely brine
also ive had good results injecting the meat with rendered pork fat (lard)

i have better luck with hams than shoulders for some reason

It's not that cut & dry. At 120 lbs I would assume it's good, ESPECIALLY if it was shot from a stand and not being run by dogs.

OP, cook it any way you would domestic pork. My favorite is to make some tasso with some but it's great bar-b-qued, in stew and brown gravy too.

I'm sure someone will disagree with me but don't bother messing with large sows & males over 100 lbs. I quit fricking with hogs altogether & give them away with no hassle.

Amen, if I can't gnaw it, it goes through the grinder, but never in the trash.

trust me fat neck I have plenty of hogs here for when I want some. I have no problems reducing the population by killing every single one I see and fact that is exactly what I do. I just get tired of people claiming pigs over 100lbs and all boars are no good to eat.

Makes my mouth water.
I'd inject it, leave it on ice over night & throw that on the smoker for 6-8 hrs while drinking beers. I keep my temp between 150-200

Leave the fat for flavor. they skin much easier when removing the fat but it is so tasty.
