I shot a hog last night had a dozen of worms in him so I threw him out in the field for the coyotes.Does anyone eat them when they have worms?

I kill hogs 365 days a year, right now, infested with fleas, ticks and parasites...only time of year I might eat part of one wouuld be a ham or backstrap when it is real, real cold. I hear people on this site talkin bout bacon, ham etc. yall can eat em, I ain, I just kill em, drag em to gut pile...the rest of yall.....ENJOY....I know a man, a few years ago, gutted a hog and had a cut on his hand, got some blood disease and almost die....yall get after it.

ive butchered hundreds of hogs rear round and never seen a worm in them. What did they look like and where were they? in the meat? Has anyone else ever seen this? n ow you have me scared!

Haven't run across that and we kill hogs year round. I'd have chucked it too though! I generally won't keep one unless its pretty much perfect and hasn't been dead too long-especially in the heat. I guess we've been lucky to have healthy pigs! At least till they develop lead poisoning...

You will always find stories of this guy or that who died a horrible death from something........ all I can tell ya is that I have butchered hundreds of hogs and they were all yummy........

The 2 I have killed in the last couple months didnt have a single tick on them. Butchered 1 left the other. They even smelled better than my 2 dogs.

Same here. Shoot em every chance i get and have eaten almost every one and never had any worms that i could see. On the other hand i wouldnt eat it if i did find em.

X2, I've butchered hundreds if not thousands of hogs in my life year round and never found a worm. Not saying it's not possible, but I've never found one. Ticks & fleas yes, some have them some don't. They normally get cleaned anyway, I just soak down in skeeter spray before I go to work on them & have only gotten a tick on me one time. To your question....yes hogs are good to eat any time of the year. You'll find that some people are hard headed about this subject just like some are stuck on when to eat rabbits.

We shot and ate one last weekend in camp for our dove shoot. He made some mighty fine pulled pork sammys!

Hope to get a few this weekend.

I guess, do not hunt around city dumps...plenty of pigs...but biohazard the least...unless somebody got taste for zombie hog

Same as the others here. Have shot and butchered year around...no problems yet and the meat is awesome...

You mean I can eat rabbits when it's not COLD??? All the wasted years!!

We kill and eat them year round. If I do run across one that is suspect (worms in the meat, or anything else I'm not comfortable with)then I'll pass; but so far, that has never happened.

i kill pleanty year round , never seen a worm in the meat , anytime you feel like getting the bbq pit going you can kill a hog an cook it

They where all around its guts and stuff they wernt in side of his intestines but they where all around it.There where like 20 of them they look like long skinny earth worms.

I have shot rabbits and found worms in them right under the shin. They look like a grub they are called wolvs (sp).

Year round no problems ever. Killed and butchered 2 yesterday no problems yet. gonna have ribs tomorrow.
