Wild Hogs

They adapt so quickly that I imagine the ones going further north will develop thicker shaggier coats. I hate that they are a problem but it does show how “uh, life, finds a way” the great Jeff Goldblum!

Right. After the apocalypse, the wild hogs will probably rule the world. lol

processhead And they just might do a better job then what I’ve witnessed lately. LOL

First, oh my god! Second, I hear totally different things on feral hogs taste. Some say it is in the processing and some say doesn’t matter they are going to be nasty. 3rd, we’ve gotta figure out something? This might be one of the biggest land management issues of our day. The only thing that approaches it is CWD.
Jonathon I have heard smaller ones are a lot better eating, but man I don’t think I could pass up this monster and figure out how to cook it or make sausage. I have a friend who has a head mount with the tusks out and it is pretty impressive though not as big as this one.

bocephus It makes sense, the older males would most likely be tougher and zre more likely to have boar taint taste.
lkrfletcher Thank you, it is useful in oh so many different situations.
Chef I for one welcome our new Wild Hog Overlords
processhead It’d end up being The Omega Man/ I am Legend where we become the monsters to the hogs!Also, we may possibly have some more on this in the future. Maybe, too soon to say.

HerbcoFood You are so right. Just an off flavor that I have never cared for. People want me to make sausage from their wild hogs, and the few times I made it, no one cared for it.
I have been told that the small females are okay, but never had the chance to try them. Maybe they would work.

Chef They do taste better, but there is always the issue with wild game, how was it handled in the field. But if I shoot a pig and it stinks from the get go, no matter the size I will recycle it back to Mother Nature.

HerbcoFood Sometimes you just have to recycle if the meat is bad but I always try to use what I shoot or catch. Sometimes though that is just not possible and in this case I think it is important to try and take these pests out as they are taking over some areas and doing an incredible amount of damage. Here in NM, I believe they brought in Gov. shooters to help eradicate them from the southeast.

Sounds like the general consensus is that wild pig is not very tasty. The several times I’ve had it I didn’t think it was offputting but I’ve only eaten backstrap from a couple of wild pigs is all.

RafterW It has to do with more of the size of it, its not that it’s not good. There are some factors that come into play before Ill touch it. I have had some great bbq’d wild pigs, I just knew before hand how large they were before being cooked. I don’t want to turn someone off from them, just know not all wild pigs are created equal for table fare.

I think even the pork from a large, intact boar domestic hog might turn off a lot of folks.
There is a good reason why they castrate pigs when they are little.Paul

HerbcoFood With the emphasis on the Pizz.

The cajun’s down here seem to have some techniques to bleed and treat the meat of those big wild board to eat them but most of my patients that hunt just leave the big one in the march (for the alligators) since they kill soooooo many!
P.S. If memory serves me they put pig in a big cooler with ice to finish draining/purging the meat then they add some milk or something like that. I thought the process was weird but it was not weird enough for me eat their deer and wild hog sausage I guarantee!!!

" Eat it, before it eats you, cher…" or something like that.

HAHAHA! We do have a bunch of expressions like that for sure!
Do you know what a Cajun thinks about when he visits a zoo?
" I wonder how much rice I’ll have to make to eat that thing" Those guys don’t waste an opportunity.A good buddy of mine from Thibodeaux (originally) was going to Medical School at LSU Med in NOLA and decided to go home one weekend. He brought his city slicker roommate with him so he could experience the country life a bit. On his way home he ended up running over a rabbit and slammed on the brakes and put the dead rabbit in the back of the truck to the bewilderment of his buddy. Later on he ran over a turtle and did the same. His buddy asked if it was typical for locals to pick up their own roadkills, and without skipped a beat my buddy told him “Heck yea, especially if that is your supper!”. His roommate was in shock but not as much as when he actually cleaned and prepared supper LOL!

Dr_Pain Reminds me of the movie Water Boy. A bug zapper went off and someone asked what was that. The response was “Desert”.
