Let me revise my post above. It's actually been about 12 years since I've done this (when did I get old?). I've dressed about a dozen pigs, but as you can imagine, the first several were done with a lot of help from the buddy who got me into the sport, and that was a long time ago. I don't want to go into the field unprepared to teach my son. I've seen some articles on dressing pigs and they seem different in some respects to dressing a deer. Is this true, or were they just different methods? Can I expect to use the same technique as on a deer without running the risk of ruining some meat?
