little porker arrowed 2 weekends ago.
 

I have not been around this forum for a while so I thought Id post a pic of my most resent kill. I stalked this guy for about 30 min before getting a shot. Passed through both lungs and the heart and the arrow imbedded in the back side shoulder blade. It was a quartering away shot. And take note of the fuzzy dotes in the pic. Thats rain. Can you believe it, North West Texas got rain. I cant believe it.

Nice going Burnie.... I wish I live down there this time of the year. We got nothing to hunt up here, I mean nothing is open for hunting now. Oh well, turkey hunting is coming around the corner. How much did that thing weigh?

What the heck do you do with all these porkers you shoot ? Either you've got one hell of a chest freezer or ... ?

Same here, I'm dying to sink an arrow into one of those nasty beasts!
Nice job!

RE: little porker arrowed 2 weekends ago.
 

Burnie, I know you spend most of your time in the off-season forum, but these forays into our place over here are starting to earn you my respect! [8D]

Congrats on another outstanding bowkill! :)

I do have a large freezer. This guy will be gone by the end of this weekend. I usually go out and arrow a hog before we have big camp out. I have a bunch of friends that I camp with on a regular basis. This weekend is the opening of Turkey season. So we will have this guy at camp while out trying to arrow a trukey. Ive got both of this guys hams curing for this weekends camp out.We will throw the hams on the smoker sat morning and the ribs on later on that afternoon. The loin and back strap will be part of Fri. morning breakfast. I made the shoulders into sausage already which will not last long either.

Nice job,Congrats!

I'm no authority on processing meat but I'm pretty sure it takes longer than a couple of days , the curing recipes I've seen for hams usually go at least a month in the salt/cure mix before even thinking about smoking them . Be careful , domestic pork may be safer than it used to be but wild porkers still carry lots of little nasties .

RE: little porker arrowed 2 weekends ago.
 

These hams have been curing since last week. They will have been in the brine for over two weeks. It all depends on size of the ham as to how long it take to cure. Even if it isnt cured out, it will be slow cooked for hours in the smoker. Either way it safe. Ive done many of them.

Man I love hunting pigs with a bow. Loads of fun, it sure takes the boredom out of off season. Turkey starts this weekend though, so it may be a month or two before I get back into the hogs again.
