Bought that old CVA StagHorn for about $85 in 2000. It has killed about 20 deer and dozens of hogs. Most were killed with the 240 grain .430 XTP bullet.
Hey Falcon, what's them Hog's taste like? being from the Northeast we dont have em here. Can you hunt them anytime yearlong? How do you cook em?
IMO: They taste much better than domestic hogs, especially the chops. They are usually much leaner than domestic hogs.Last year we had a bumper crop of small acorns and burr acorns and the hogs are fat. Ditto for 07 when we had a bumper crop of acorns and pecans.Boars over about 200 pounds can be strong.There is usually very little bacon on wild hogs.Wild hogs do not have big hams like the domestic variety. Their shoulders are wide and the butts more narrow.
We cook wild hog just like the domestic variety. There are some differences, there is usually very little bacon on wild hogs.
Wehunthogs year around in OK with a few restrictions. No night hunting is allowed and in some management areas one is restricted to a rimfire rifle duringsmall game season. i hunt hogs 12 months of the year.
Sounds like you are going to be socked in for awhile. Would love to have a serious cold snap here with a lot of snow to kill off some of the ants, ticks and bugs.
