On the 29th I leave for a central TX pig hunt. This is a low budget - hunting at a buddy's ranch - type hunt.
I have been told sows taste better than boars - is this true??
My plan is to take 4 sows and 1 boar as food is my main reason for hunting. The good news is that I pull a refer trailer and will be able to maintain 28*-34* all the way back to WY.
A few rookie questions:
After field dressed do I skin them out the same way I would a deer/elk/antelope?
My friend says the daytime temps are 60* and nights slightly cooler - do I put them in the refer trailer right away or let them hang for a day? I have no way of hanging them in the trailer. Once in the trailer they will be laid on a pallet.
I am not interested in pickling the feet, eating organs or the tongue. Are there any parts that are not normally eaten on a deer, that are especially good from a pig?
I am told that there is not much bacon on wild hogs.
Any other tips to keep the meat in good shape are appreciated.
He says most shots will be around 60-75 yds with an opportunity for a 200 yd shot. I have several guns that have no blood on them and would like to get them all bloody.
I plan on taking:
760 Pump Carbine in 308
Husky 6.5x55
Marlin 356 Win
Super Redhawk 44
Desert Eagle 44
