My sons are going hunting on a cattle ranch where the wild pigs are ruining the ground. Hope it's good.
 
That's good to know. My son got a sausage grinder just for the pigs. Counting their chicken ---
 
I've had several times, prepared by myself or some restaurant.
I can definitely recommend this, very tasty.

Also I've had ham that was made out of it, one of the best quality hams I've ever had.
If possible, make some hams! Or sausage... But yeah, it's good meat!
 
I thought only garbage fed pigs get trekenoses(sp) I know bears carry it,
After all the comments I am willing to try it.
I suggest that veterinarian takes samples does a test. It is simple one. It takes about 10 min all together. If you decide to do it without testing they cook it well.


I ate it. I are it all ;) With mushroom gravy is my favorite... Oh and wild boar beer goulash (stew).... oh and with mashed potatoes...oh and marinated over night
....oh screw you I am hungry now.
 
Best way to eat it is on a spit over open fire.

As much as I have reservations about harvesting young animals (including hogs, as it's when they become adults when they really become nuisances to farmlands), but a little FYI: The smaller pigs are supposed to be much better.

I've been on a hunt before in Texas where the guy with me bagged a huge one, and thank God I was able to talk him out of "initiating" me by cleaning my first hog, though I did witness the nasty smelly ordeal. Man, evne the meat on the big ones can really smell bad and be gamey... I can't remember whether they let it bleed out in the cooler or what they did to make it less gamey, but it was much better by the time we ate it though...

(BTW, are you talking smaller boars like that in the photo in the post above? Because if you're talking those massive Texas-sized feral/hybrid/whatever hogs, then I might definitely have a high-caliber pistol handy too, just cuz those things are scary mean and big!)

Guns are for girls. Real men use knives.

Yes, and as much as I can! It's onolicious!!:D

The wild pigs out this way are butchered into small pieces, soaked overnight in a shoyu/garlic/onion/etc. marinade, then smoked, then frozen.

When time fo' kau kau it's cooked a second time fried -and often with sweet onions. We fry ours w/oil & onions and like it a bit krispy kine.:)

(smoked then fried is the only way the family/friends eat the wild ones out here -others may eat 'em differently but I haven't run into them)

The domestic pig out this way are done any number of the usual ways. Hawaiian imu, Texas BBQ, etc.



then:



Fun fact:

Hawaii hunters/farmers will often set trap for wild pigs, castrate the males, and then release them back into the wild. The claim is it makes for better meat when harvested and of course the population aspect. Yes, all by themselves with no "help" from the government.;)

At 1:35 ol' porky here tells this trapper what he thinks about all that.:eek:

The person who posted the trap video says:
Not much to say about that. You can only eat so many, and they are destroying our farm, so this one will be caught another day to be eaten or live a life of happiness out in the wild. And, the state of hawaii won't poison him to die a horrible death in days or shoot him from a helicopter to rot in the sun...if he is lucky.

Magnificent animals.:)
