Arkansas wild boar hunting

[ImThere]

Had a fantastic weekend at my buddies place in Arkansas. Man this place is full of pigs! When I shut the tail gats her nose touched it. Pretty good size. Skinning and gutting in 10 degree weather sucks! lol can't wait to go again!

Nice! Looks like a good sized one too.
What's the plan with the meat? Sausage?

Sausage, loins. A lot of stew type suff. Chili verde, stew.

The biggest thing to remember with wild hog is that if it doesnt get made into sausage, run EVERYTHING through the tenderizer! Ham steaks, loins, shoulder steaks, the WHOLE thing needs to be tenderized before attempting to cook and eat. If you do that, its better than any store bought pork. If you dont, its tougher than the sole of your boot!

We always pressure cook or crock pot cook it. Never had much of an issue. Maybe I'll tenderize it and see how much better it can be! Thanks for the advice

Im not a crock pot person, and it aggravates my wife to no end! I can eat stew MAYBE once a month and be ok with it, other than that, NOPE.
