I smoked a shoulder for 2 hours and finished it off in the oven at 250 for another 8 hours. It was smoky, tender, juicy and all around delicious. Paired with my wife’s dangerously delicious pinto beans and a cold Corona, I felt like I was in a Cuban restaurant. Those who shoot these guys and leave them to rot are missing out. If you take the time to wet age them for 5 days on ice and cold water, they will never taste gamey.  And the star of last nights dinner who took the long sleep from a 75gr Speer bonded GDHP.  | ||

The wild pig population is becoming a big nuisance in this area. Looks like you have a very tasty solution. | |||

That does indeed look delicious. Is there a certain size hog that yields preferable flavor? "We're all travelers in this world. From the sweet grass to the packing house. Birth 'til death. We travel between the eternities." | |||

+1... Hell, yeah! "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

How does wild pig compare to domestic? Is it gamey or more mild? __________________________ | |||

I have shot a few on hunting trips in NC I don't find them "gamey" at all. The meat does seem darker overall than typical supermarket pork but it's very good flavor. Maybe the way to describe it is that it's more "porky" tasting than bland, mass-produced white pork. | |||

Hog hunt is definitely something I want to do one day. Some questions: 1. how many pounds was that hog? 2. how much meat do you get out of a hog that size? 3. what do you do with the rest of it? 4. is .223/5.56 enough to put down a hog? IIRC, my dad used to say milk would take away the gamey taste. Is that true? _____________ | |||

A lot leaner and a little more gamey, if you can call it that, but that can mitigated. It is VERY lean, imo. I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log. | |||

I have taken many over the years and enjoy eating them. I shot more with a .22 lr than with anything else. I am working on a freezer full of venison now. | |||

Looks surprised. I’m talking myself into a hog hunt. Throw in some sort of Texas exotic to make the trip worthwhile. The meal looks great. ----------The weather is here I wish you were beautiful---------- | |||

Have you shot sows, boars, or both? I've eaten some sow and it was fine, but haven't heard good things about boar (i.e. I haven't personally eaten it). Even farm raised pigs get "boar taint" and old boars don't get eaten.

It's enviable to be able to self sufficient like this. Hunt, <all the work to clean, age, etc; I don't even know what's involved here>, cook wild game like this. Fish, fowl, bigger game. I'd like to develop these skills someday. Perhaps once I move to a region where hunting is common. Very nice! "Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it."

That looks great. Feral hogs don't taste gamey to me, but are more strongly pork flavored. They can be lean, so you sometimes cook them accordingly. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Both sows and boars. But all were pretty young, no big old boars. The one thing I recall is that due to their leanness, the ribs were pretty much useless to BBQ/smoke like you'd do fatty domesticated pork ribs. | |||

The consensus around here is the younger ones and juveniles taste the best. | |||

So why don't the "Hunt for the Hungary" folks broaden their scope from just deer meat to wild pig? Seems like it could be a win-win for everyone. | |||
