I have read the majority of the threads on hogs, but still feel a little unprepared on a few issues.

- To skin or not to skin ( I have heard yes to both). Store-bought ham has skin on it but no hair. What do most of you do?

- With their keen smell, do you mask your scent? If so, what works well.

- Do they have any sort of 'musk gland' to be removed? If so where are they located?

Thanks for your help!
