I've killed a lot of pigs and never killed a stinky or bad tasting pig in fact my wife loves wild pig and won't touch deer meat! Go figure . I always had the hams deboned ,smoked and cut in half. Perfect meal fora family of four and any leftovers she median to spilt pea soup! I sure miss hunting them. We lost our hunting lease! It still plissé me off!

Thanks! I cut him up today and plan on making some andouille and chorizo sausage this week. I've been doing pretty good lately at our ranch in Cloverdale, CA. Hunting hogs is lot of fun and keeps us hunting between all of the other seasons. My dog caught this one on Memorial Day.

I have a blackmouth cur and fox terrier that both like to catch hogs. Where I hunt there is a lot of brush and you only get a quick glimpse of the hogs as they run across the road. Once in a while at first or last light you may catch one in a meadow like the one I shot on Friday.

I got a couple of Decker terriers that need some hog work if you need someone to tag along. I don't even want to shoot, just see the dogs work.

Tim, do you make your own sausage or have a butcher do it for you? When I lived in Petaluma all my hogs went to Buds meats outside of Rohnert Park. He did a great job especially on the smoking of the hams and I always had do some polish sausage for the barbque.

Sneaky,
I do all of my own butchering of game. I use Willowside Meats in Santa Rosa for my domestic meats but I have used Bud's in the past. They are very good too. I really enjoy making my own sausage. In fact, I am getting ready to make 30 lbs. of Chorizo and 25 Lbs. of Andouille out of that last hog. You can't beat wild pork for all kinds of sausage. I usually add some regular pork fat to the grind too.

Jrod,
I am done hog hunting for the year. My Cur is pregnant and after the grass turns brown the hogs don't taste as good until the acorns fall. Besides, A zone archery deer opens in two weeks! Yee Haa

Where are you guys hunting? I've been wanting to go hog hunting, but when I was looking into it last year, it seemed like outfitters and landowners were charging $600+ to hunt anywhere. I remeber some of the wineries were having problems with them, but the ones I called weren't allowing people to hunt.
