big sow down
 

Killed her yesterday evening

Nice hog, good eats ahead.

Very nice!!!!!

Is she gonna eat good at 181lbs fellas? Ive been staying around 120 but have been hearing I could go a little bigger with a sow so I thought I'd try it?

I just pulled the loins and tenderloins out, it sure looks good.

I shot another 100 pounder as well.

Rocky, I killed a 168 pound boar two years ago, it ate as well as the smaller ones I have shot. Being a sow makes it even better.

Thanks, I'll let you know how she turns out. She sure looks pretty much just like a fat hog. The ones Ive shot before were much leaner.

I have shot a couple of sows and they tend to have more fat.

Where are you hunting? I am assuming not Illinois

Wellston Oklahoma

Well looks good and taste good but she is pretty tough...as far as pork chops go anyway

Grind it up. Delicious sausage.

I usually cook mine as Goulash, but have been using the slow cooker and making pulled pork.

Depends a lot on what they have been eating, as to how they taste. Younger is usually better all around. I try to take mine right after the grain harvest here. The Hogs here eat better than most people do, they raid somebodies fields daily, veggies, grain, Corn and even Strawberries.

I've been trying to harvest one out that has been mostly feeding on Cattail roots. No Acorns this year. Hope I'm lucky, I'm interested in how one tastes that has been eating mostly Cattail roots.

Some of it can be how quick they go down and die. I'm not real fond of runners or a slow death, which tends to fill the meat with hormones and/or the byproducts of panic. Funny though, the women tend to favor high hormone/lactic acid meat.

I ear holed both of these with a .308

The wife cooked the ribs from the 100lber last night in her instant pot, They were pretty good.

We made 2 different breakfast sausages, 1 batch from a local IGA maple seasoning and one regular from backwoods seasoning and some brat burgers with local IGA brat seasoning and we added 1lb domestic pork fat per 4lb. Those all turned out really really good.

I saved a couple quarters to smoke whole for the 4th of July.

Just regular fried pork chops are pretty much a bust. I'll have to tenderize them.

If I would have know I'd of took ya out to eat somewhere. That only about 20 min north of me lol

Awesome, I go every year. I'll have to look you up next year.
