my .02 cents

- shoot every one you see, especially the sows

- due to the warm temps (above 80 degrees) , the hog should be processed ASAP and meat put on ice, otherwise it will spoil and go bad

- use a very sharp knife because the coarse hog hair will dull a blade in no time. A box cutter (with carpet blade) works well since replacement razor blades are cheap

- during this time of the year, I'd cut the skin along the back, flap it over , and take only the back-straps. Coyotes and buzzards can have the rest




during the cooler winter months, you can clean / process hog same way as a deer and keep all the meat you want . A 60# - 120# pig is ideal for eating

Me personally I've only ate one wild pig that was good and it was a 20lb shoat that the dogs maimed. Pork from a grocery store or meat market is a completely different taste than wild. In other words I leave them where I find them if I don't know anybody that wants them.
