Wild HOG hunt - Success!

Sweet hunt/trip.  Welcome home and thanks for your service!!

Awesome man! I have always wanted to hunt wild hogs! Do they taste like your average pig?

Welcome back, of course! Great to see you post again.

Saylean it really depends on what size you kill and what you kill.  The Boars seam to be the most wild taste and boy do they smell.  Alot of the time the meat will smell to.  Best thing for a big Bo Hog is sausage.

You want a good grilling and smoking pig anything less that 100lbs.  My favorites are the size that LTL killed.  They are not as wild tasting.

One thing you can do to kill the wild taste on larger animals if you want to grill, smoke, or cook them is to 1/4 them up and put them in a cooler with ice.  Make sure the Ice gets between all the 1/4's and pour about 1/2 quart or Apple Cider vinagar over the whole cooler full of ice and meat.  Let it set in their over night.

They taste nothing like regular pork IMO! I love wild boar! Michelle is right to a point. Ive killed several over 300 lbs and Im guessing its just like that old monster bull elk or sage brush monster mullie... the old big males have tough and tart tasting meat. That said, I have eaten every single pig Ive ever killed!

These that I just killed here taste yummy. Do they taste good...you decide. I did a lemon pepper and pepper corn hand rub and then fried them 2 nights ago and fed them to my 9 month pregnant wife and her 21 year old abercrombie wearing sister. They both ate itand the lil sister has never tried wild meat before and Miranda would spit out a 40$ steak these days!

Ive eaten thousands of pounds of wild pig and like it well above deer or any version!

Best pig I ever had? I was coming out of the woods during Muzzle Loader season in GA...I had just shot off the load....was driving out and a sow crossed the grassy trail with a string of piglets following ducks in a row....

I ran over, backed up over more, and ran over again. I ended up with a half dozen pigs in the 15 lb range...  and they were delicious!!!

Im sure someone will discuss how thats mean or unethical or something but Ill explain to them that hogs in GA are considered as useful as roaches! FT Stewart and the state of GA frequently hire professional hunters that shoot them by the hundreds and let their bodies rot...just to thin the numbers. So me using the chevy on them and then eating em... fine by me

back to the point...they are yummmy and I always cook them as if they were chicken...not pork. Im not sure why I do that but it works every time

Im almost outta meat so I may try to run back down there soon...

Too cool man.

Thanks Michelle, Tat~

   I got to agree the little pigs taste yummy.  Use to have quite a few people bring their Hogs in to be processed at the Processor I use to work for in Ga.  They would kill the sow and 2 or 3 piglets.  Want the sow butchered and just leave the piglets.

When a few people found out that I'd waste my time to clean them they would load them up with the sow and give em to me.  Good eats.


Like what LTL said.  The Wild Pig population down their is unreal.  Farmers hate them, just a small groupe of them can rip apart an acre in no time at all.  It is not uncomon practice to shoot them, drag them off to the woods and let them rot.  Everytime I see a new topic about Wid pigs in WA I cringe.  Yeah it would be some new and different game to hunt but I guarantee they will screw up some good hunting areas for Deer and Elk.

A healthy hog population in WA would be devastating to deer and elk...!

Id love to hunt em but they ARE NOT AT ALL worth the affects on the native game!
