A young boar running with sows will stink worse than a big old rouge boar that's hanging out by himself.

Also...... a dead hog will not dissipate the heat from his internal organs like a thin skinned animal such as deer. I gut them where they fall, within ten minutes of the shot.

I've gutted a couple for hunters after laying out in below freezing weather for over four hours and the hot gas boiled up out of 'em as soon as I opened them up. In hot weather you can damn near see them swelling up after only thirty minutes or so.

They can make pretty fair sausage but I don't much care for them any other way.


Never holler whoa or look back in a tight place
