OK, Here is my question. I have yet to go hog hunting, and I still got about 8 months till I can. But when I do, I hope I get one or two. But what do you do with the meat? I heard you can't make bacon out of any of it cuz there is not enough fat. So can you get like ham and sausage? I don't have the first clue how to butcher one myself, so it would be going to the processor. I got a couple guys gonna hook me up with a couple different hunts when I return from Iraq, and I want to send out a big thank you to them.

Make whatever kinda sausage you want, hams on the smoker/ oven, backstrap like you'd do deer. You're right, no bacon on them! Good luck, and THANK YOU!

what is a good web site to learn how to cut it all up? Just do a search on how to butcher a hog, and believe me it's not all that hard to do, and once you do one you'll know how the next time. http://www.texasboars.com/articles/recipes.html

Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.

Backstrap, mostly...I'll take the hams on a young sow, otherwise the coyotes are eatin' good in the neighborhood. Then I get to shoot them, too.

I freeze it for about a month to kill that triculosis (not sure spelling). But any other cut is awsume if prepared well.
