Tripped and fell
Not really cooking but will be soon. This young hog tripped and fell right in front of my bullet. Not to big I am thinking maybe 50-60 pounds. Didn't get to weight so am guessing. Dressed out nice. I can't understand why more people don't eat these wild hogs. Yeah, they are some trouble to dress and get ready for the freezer. I am going to bone this one and grind the whole thing into sausage meat. Will make several kinds I am sure. Right now she is resting in my freezer. I don't any pictures of the dressed product. I was just to cold by the time I finished dressing her out. Here is the photo of the fresh harvest.

Those small feral hogs are excellent if you brine some cuts and smoke them. I like to take the backstraps and brine in equal parts brown sugar and kosher salt overnight, rinse well, roll in course ground black pepper and smoke until they reach a temp of about 160 degrees. I then put them in the refrigerator for a few days and let them dry. Enjoy, WildEd
