Hog processing, what to make??
Hello everyone
Im off for a hog hunt on feb 17th and I thought I would try to come up with some ideas for the hog that I hope to shoot.What do you guys enjoy? Heres a list of some of the things I had thought about
Sausage
Bacon - Is there much bacon on wild hogs?
hams
tenderloins
Can you actually make jerky or snack sticks?
I tried to do a search for some info but it didnt pull up anything.
Thanks for your input

Some hogs, usually barrows of domestic blood lines have enough fat on them for bacon but in general most of our wild hogs don't have it. We usually cut out the backstraps for chops, maybe a ham to BBQ or stew, and grind the rest into sausage. Mighty fine eating if it's a sow, young boar or a barrow! Enjoy!

All it takes isConstruction Blocks and Chain Link materials. Make two exactly alike and clamp them together to hold the pig.Make the side pipes Longer to useas Handles.
One section with the pipes and one section without!

[align=left]It's important to crack through the head so that the pig can be completely splayed out. We like to use a machete and a hammer. Use the hammer to drive the blade through the snout, taking care not to cut all the way through.[/align]
