Educate me about wild pig please...
Posted on 5/22/16 at 2:21 pm
Posted on 5/22/16 at 2:21 pm
I recently got access to kill all the wild pig that I want. Question is do I want? I love to cook and love pork but how much trouble is it? Give me yall opinions please.
What size am I looking for?
Male or female?
Do I have to cut the testicles off immediately?
Best way to clean?
Can I still make all the normal dishes off of a wild pig? (cracklins, salt meat, sausage)
Any info from guys who do this on a regular basis would help.

My opinions:
1. Shoot everyone of those motherfrickers you can. Any size. Just shoot them.
2. Go to the grocery store and buy some pork. It's much better.

Kill all, don't eat all. I don't mess with them in the heat. Buzzards got to eat too.

With gloves.

They're a serious pest so no issues with wanton waste. Kill the sows if you have a choice and I can attest that the backstrap/ tenderloin makes a mean sauce piquante. If you get a stinky arse boar, just throw it away. If you don't like the taste of the hams, just cut out the backstrap and throw the rest away...

Backstrap and tenderloin (if decent size/worth the effort), trash the rest.
Eta: don't try to skin the whole back, make several 3-4" cuts down the back and skin them individually, their skin is tough as hell and thick, really tough to get off. Wear gloves as well like others have said.

Anything I've eaten over 100 pounds takes a lot of work to taste right. We always just throw the big ones in the river or leave them wherever.
Oh yeah, tannerite

I've roasted a couple of hind quarters and they've come out pretty tasty. Popped them in the over for a few hours in a cast iron pot with a couple of chopped up onions and a little water.

KILL THEM ALL!!!!!
I agree with what everyone else has said. I usually make a cut from shoulder to shoulder, longways down the spine, and then from hip to hip. Peel the skin back, and take the straps. Drag them to the boneyard, and leave the rest behind for the buzzards.

I read that if you get a male that has been running the testosterone levels will be high leading to the bad smell. The article said if you cut of the testicles immediately that this will help. Like I said I don't know that is why I am asking experienced people.

It's an old redneck myth, supposed to make the meat less strong in a boar hog if you cut them as soon as they're dead. You be surprised how many people bring it up around a campfire.

Shoot all of them. Keep sows and/or piglets. When it's hot we don't fool with them so we let the buzzards and scavengers have a free meal.

A sow in the 80-100 lb range is awesome eating. You can pretty much eat any part of it. Smaller boar is good also. Now a big 200+ pound boar I wouldn't really fool with.

if you can shoot all you want you might want to get in touch with a food bank...shelter...whatever...Hunters for the Hungry feed a lot at certain times of the year but they need to eat all the time...

pork is pretty cheap, but you can get a ton of meat and do with what you want
are you hunting or trapping?
when you clean the pig, you will be able to smell the meat if its shitty
for the people saying larger pigs are garbage, its either laziness or people who dont know how to cook.
If you have easy access and not trying to kill them all, just to get some meat, buy a box trap. easiest and quickest. smart pigs will go nocturnal for the most part. if you are wanting a ton of them, build a corral
Easiest way to get a ton of good sandwich/miscellaneous cooked meat is to cook the ham whole, injected and stuffed with veggies
175 lb sow
full hind quarter before
after
these are the type you shoot and leave
FYI, that pig in those pics, i caught him and saw him do a somersault over the top of that 50-inch cattle gate

Even pests don't deserve to be maimed but whatever.
