I can't move that fast

Good way to do it, he is pretty quick.
He could get the tenderloins out. They are right under the spine between the ribs and the pelvis. Just push the guts to the side and trim them out, on a young pig you can actually get them out without a knife, they pull loose easily. I do it this way all the time, and never gut them.

That was quick and simple. I'll give that a crack next time I get one. The good thing is, there's plenty of them to practice on

I think he has done that before. I would want the tenders too, and maybe the ribs.

alright I was all ready to pick him apart but I sure can't do it that fast! I was thinking the problem would be skinning AFTER he quartered but he had no problem at all.

I'll try it exactly the way he did it next time and hope it goes half as fast.

Me thinks I've been making cleaning pigs way too hard..going to try his method next trip to the ranch!

Yes, he does know a lot about trapping Hogs and butchering.

This also has written and speaks very vocal about being anti night hunting.

I have personally met him one time several years ago. His entire point of the conversation was that he was going to prove jaeger Pro wrong on his methods and that trapping was the only way to eliminate the Hog problems. He was very passionate about it.

As I progressed in my operation, I have dealt with frustrated land owners who have bought into his approach and seen where there is only a small window every year where you can actually trap Hogs efficiently. The land owners had not applied for permits and were not shooting @ night. Hogs ran rampant.

Then, I came in and started putting up decent numbers killing hogs next to video recorded traps that Hogs would not go into.

Some of the traps were this fellows. 80% if not more of the properties I shoot have been "Schooled" by this guy about trapping and they had little success. He actually wrote an article entitled "Taking the pressure off" this year. He took taxpayer dollars and did a study on how night hunting will make the hogs jittery and they will not go in a trap.

However, the night hunting they used was the ole One Eyed Beagle old school night hunting. Not my method of total stealth and then blammo from no where Hogs get smoked.

So, based on the "Wild Life Biologist's" structured study, some landowners bought into the "Take the pressure off", so they will walk in a trap deal he was spewing.

Long story short, Hogs still did not go in traps in big numbers because the land owners stopped the night shooting.

My thoughts are to put the pressure on 55gr at the time in rapid succession.

Dead Hogs will not go in a trap either.lol

Here is one of his articles:

It is pretty much the same one as the "taking the Pressure off"

I am going to say it won't go that smoothly when I clean one the first time...hopefully soon.

He made me realize that my knives really are not as sharp as I thought.

Why not just suitcase the pig? To me it would be easier.

most of the time i throw away what he kept, the ribs and pork chops are what im after

The amount of meat he threw away is shameful. The neck and brisket contain a lot of meat that is perfect for sausage or stew meat, the ribs can be cooked whole or filleted out for meat to grind, and it appeared that he threw out some of the lower leg as well. As far as I am concerned, the best way to eat a wild pig is as sausage.

this! ^^^^

Anybody have some links to other videos that show some other good methods?
