Smoked my 1st wild hog this weekend, (well at least 2 hams and a shoulder) and it was GREAT! It was a sow about 85 - 90 lbs, and the flavor was amazing. I have taken an oath to do everything I can to hunt and smoke wild hogs whenever I can.
How do you all go about catching them Moikel? My bud's down in South Florida use Pit Bull Dogs. Exciting business.
Millions of wild pigs here especially in the tropics. Short gutted,liver ,kidneys ,heart left in,they get snap frozen & sent to Europe.Mobile chiller van will pay about $1 per kg.We get some real big boars that no sane person would eat but they get shipped same as everything else.
I have no idea how they get the stink out of them. They eat a lot of road kill & dead anything .
If they are caught in grain country they are better.If you can get them live ,pen them,dose of wormer ,feed them up they come up well.
