Sausage acquisition
gstoneberg:
Thanks Pappy. The little ones are extremely good eating. I killed a really teeny pig one time that had the misfortune of being behind the one I shot at. It looked like a rabbit on the grill at the lease.
Wild pork is just like venison. Cared for properly, it is every bit as good as domestic pork and better for you. However, there is more risk for parasites so it is very important to cook it to correct internal temperature. Cared for improperly, it can be very gamey. The hardest thing about hog hunting down here is getting the meat properly cooled and on ice quickly enough. I hunted into summer last year and the window for finding and processing a wild pig before it begins to spoil is very short. Fortunately, most hunting is done at night in the coolest part of the day, but if you don't drop a hog on the spot or get a good blood trail it can be trouble.
If your travels lead you over here and to Dallas, I'll be happy to serve you some.

Bowl of oatmeal for breakfast and a phone call interrupted me and I didn't get to finish. Missed my lunch because I was running a long list of errands. Came in to work this evening early and didn't have time for dinner. Now you had to go and post that bunch of pig-porno photos!!!
Stoneberg, I am about outa patience with you.
:'( <---- not tears....drool backed up and leakin' out my eyes.
gstoneberg:
That sounds like a great idea for hot weather hunting. It takes a good A/C unit to go down more than 40 or 50 degrees though. I'm taking the middle of the summer off this year.
John, we're going to do that hog hunt at some point. I'm ready. Pig-porn, that's funny.
I put loin and ribs in the freezer tonight. Everything else is cut into strips and the grinding will commence tomorrow night. Breakfast sausage burritos are in my future!

I got 2 packages of ribs, one loin and 36lbs of breakfast sausage from this little sow (some went directly from the cooler to the grill :) ). As an aside I brought in some pulled pork from a wild hog to work today. I was showing the guys pictures and one of them grabbed a sketch pad and drew me a caricature to use as my avatar over on TexasBoars. It took him less than 10 minutes. What an artist, masquerading as a lab technician!!! Too bad I hadn't used a selfbow...
