Little pork on the ground.
Went out looking for deer and yet agian, only found hogs. Actually saw a few small bucks, a young six point and a young eight point. Little younger than I wanted to shoot. So at the last hour, I went and found some pork.

I know they're not what you're after, but I've always been envious of the chances you have to kill all those pigs!

RE: Little pork on the ground.
Way to go! Man I have to get a recurve to hunt with. I love bowhunting hogs and I think that will add some excitement and challenge. I saw a big ol black boar Saturday evening that I really wanted to stick. Unfortunatly he stayed out too far. Thats OK though, I can try all year to get that sucker!

Do you smoke up the hams yourself on those pigs, Burnie? Is the meat better than domestic raised stuff? Never had feral pig.

I almost always smoke the hams. Ill cure them first in a honey cure for about 5 to 7 days, then throw them on the smoker. They come out great. Much leaner than a domestic hog. The meat has more of a beef consistency. I really like them. Ill take a hog out to campouts with buddies and will have nothing left by the end of the weekend.
