RE: lbs of meat in a hog
Well ranch hand,
After adding it all up before puting it all in the freezer itcame up to 60 pounds of processed meat from the butcher. I was hoping for more honestly but I guess you wereright on. I guess I will have room for one more in the freezer after all. I thought it was going to be full from this one. Now if I can just talk my wife into letting me out of the house. Lord knows I have enough to do around the house...I'd just rather be hunting that's all.
As far as cracklins or rines, I cannot see any one cooking upfurry wild pig skin into anything edible. That skin was tough enough to cut through with a knife and furry as a dog. tell you what, next time I'll save ya the skin for free...I may even payya to watch you cook itup. Sounds fun to watch but I don't know about eating it!
All I know was it was alot easier to put in the freezer than it was to drag it's furry butt out of the brush! Drag out 200 pounds freeze 60 pounds. Seems like alot of waste but I don't know where it went tounless the butcher got hungry for hog that evening
thanks for the input

RE: lbs of meat in a hog
prim if you think dragging a 200 lb hog out of the woods is bad try draging a 300+lb bear out of the woods i have always found it easier to drag a hog than a bear the longest drag with a hog was about 1 1/2 miles off the marsh down at horseshoe beach fl the only plus was at the time my son carried the guns he was only 10 this year i pulled a bear out and when i got out there were things in my socks that were higher when i started

RE: lbs of meat in a hog
Dont pick on my buddy Rebel Hog... I went hunting with him once. He is a great hunter. He killed a 300 pound pig and when he finished butchering the pig. Rebel had 500 pounds of meet,,,, but then again most of it was bull...
