Kinda my rule, If I walk up on a hoglet I shoot and I can smell him 15' away as I approach, or when I start skinning if the critter has abscesses or tumors, then I don't keep the meat, other than that its all good.
I shot 4 on the campfire hunt and brought back six hoglets.
loins are great
ribs are good
bone out hams for pulled pork
I will brine the hinds for a couple days to do hams
and smoke or
season
we eat the heck out of wild pork. I wet age it for 5 or six days then put it up.
what I don't eat I give away or trade for spicy pork tamales from one of my tenants Abuelas. Usually don't take that long to go thru a bunch of pork!
