Unless you have a reefer, there is no need to rent one.
I have never eaten a wild hog over 200 lbs. Boars and sows eat just fine, as long as they are in good shape. Look for the same things you do when you clean a deer. I was told you could cut a small sample of the meat and put it in the microwave for 30 seconds. If it smells ok, it is ok. I just heard this the other day, so I havent tried it.
Take ice chest and cut the hog up into backstraps, tenderloin, ribs (if you want them), shoulders, and hams. Ice them down with the plug installed for 24 hours, then pull the plug, and drain all the water. Leave the plug out, tilt the ice chest where it will stay drained, and keep the meat iced down. Make sure nothing plugs up the drain hole... the meat will sour if kept in water.
You can keep the meat a week or more this way. Just like putting it in a cooler with a misting system.
