What do you do with the hogs you shoot?

I know the obvious is to butcher and eat them.

I like to shoot any hogs on spot to help eradicate them from my area. But some of the old hogs don't taste very good or if its the day I'm getting ready to go back home then I just don't feel like messing with cutting up a hog.


What does everyone do with their hogs. can you dump them someplace?

I ran into a group called " hogs for a cause", if you shoot one and don't want it they take it and process it to give to the needy. Look them up, I think they might come pick it up and everything, don't really remember though.

I like shooting hogs for the hunting opportunity and the meat. The landowner where I usually hunt just wants them all gone, she doesn't care what we do with them. Since she lets me hunt her place, her wishes take priority. I'll take some to butcher for myself and any friends/family that might want some, and the rest get tossed in the brush for the yotes and buzzards.

Leave them where they die.

I'll shoot them for someone if they want to come and get them to gut and process on their own. I will not do it for them. If no one wants them then I haul them to one spot so other critters can use them.

I'm guessing that dumping them on the side of the road (state hwy) for the yotes and other critters is illegal?
Down in south Texas I use to see tons of hogs dumped on the side of the road.

same method as with old deer, if backstraps little tough, tenderize, ground inta ghamberger, it is pork, an the ol wrap in bacon. not sure what laws are for donating wild game to charity, as far as eradicating, wounded warrior program, take a youth hunt, newbie hunt, volenter for that, always willing ta learn. just ta name a few ideas, thought I was only one that doesnt have any friends ta hog hunt with. used ta doing a solo. gotta be me, no one else wants the job. keep your head held high & your powder dry or use em for yote bait

See lots of them with backstraps and hams pulled out and then dumped. Many are just dumped on the side of the road in the ditch. Some are hit by vehicles that are dead also. I have one location on my place to dump dead animals so I know what the buzzards are circling over at that spot for.

I'll backstrap them and pull hams on larger pigs. BBQ pit sized ones I'm skin whole. But sometimes there isn't room in the freezer or time to butcher them all. Regardless, we have a shoot on site rule, and they all get added to the bone pile at the bottom of a Canyon to use at coyote bait.

accident waiting ta happen their, why take time to pic up dead hog, just to dump along highway? they could be road side kill, drive bye shooting

I catapult them through my neighbor's house in Houston.

I drag em all off into the brush.

Nasty creatures.

eat all you can, chunk the rest

Coyotes need some fine dining as their last supper.

not make light of the subject but every coyote I can fill up with gut piles and hog carcasses is one that is less tempted to grab a fawn

I hang them up from a tree like they are standing then use them as target practice....

I grind them all into sausage unless they are pit sized.

you east texas boys need better hobbies

Family combined to shoot 6 off one hog a few weekends ago.

Weekend at Nav's...kind of like a redneck weekend at Bernie's.

WINNER!

I cut out their liver, take a bite, and give a mighty roar like the alien in "Predator".

do you also rip out their skull with attached spinal colum and hang them in a tree?

"You need to know what it's like to put a bullet in a body."

Tried that but that stuff is hard to rip out on a hog. I do pet the skulls though....
