Sure, he is a Texan. Can find the camera for a smelly old pig, but can't remember the camera for a good quality Elk....


Fill in those of us who are unedjumacated. Is that a big pig? Are big pigs less "edible" than the smaller ones?

What do you do with them when you get them home?

It's a fairly large pig Jose...prolly around 200. I gut em & take em to the processor for skinning & splitting...smoke the sides. Good eats. I usually won't mess with a boar that size or bigger.

Way to go!

A heart disease researcher here at work actually told me that pork meat is less atherogenic (i.e. it doesn't cause heart diseases as much) than beef. It still has calories, but those wild ones have a lot less fat than store bought stuff. I've had big ones, like 400-500 lbs, that taste great, so it must have a lot to do with processing and meat care and their food, etc. than we think.

Dang, Good Pig! I shot a smelly Coyote......but, it was Black and that was neat. I shot it early Friday and it rained on it for about 5 hours...not really Picture quality after it did a back flip from the 300. WTG Ken, John

 

[MarvB]

Nice job on the oinker Ken...smack him in the nose?
