What we do with Wild Hog Meat

We caught another Wild Hog this week. So join us as we show you "What we do with Wild Hog Meat".

[@douglascox9996]

When I was a boy living in post-WWII Germany, my dad would go hunting for wild European boar, akin to US wild hog, but topping out at about 1000lbs. Many were the bag lunches at school with boar meat sandwiches. When my wife and I visited Austria a few years ago, I ordered a boar steak at the oldest continuously operating restaurant in Europe (more than 600 years). Just as good as I remembered.

I feel for the German people what was done to them after the war was pure evil. Then to teach the Germans to hate themselves because they tried to save Europe from communism and Germany was the "bad guy" yea no. Nobody mentions the 400k Germans burned alive in Dresden way way way way way worse then the A bombs. Or the fact that 5M plus German women were raped by the red army some women up to 50 60 times in 2 or 3 days.

[@toddotterson7568]

I grew up in North Dakota, hunting & fishing was a year round activity for our whole family. Everything from Morning doves, Hungarian Partridge, Sharptail Grouse, pheasant, wild turkey, Sandhill cranes, snow geese, canadian honkers, and ducks galore. Cottontail rabbits, Jack rabbits, white tail deer, mule deer, Pronghorn antelope. And then the occaisional moose, elk, and Big horn sheep. And add fresh water Yellow perch, walleye, sauger, northern pike, white bass, etc. Our families Sunday dinner ususally consisted of a game feed of all sorts. We grew up that way, and I guess took it for granted. Now I have lived in another state for the last 28 years, and it amazes me how many so called hunters....will not eat their kill. They hunt for the trophy and give away the meat. I have gotten all sorts of meat donated to me, because the hunter thought it was too gamey. Lol WTF? I never heard if such a thing. But...I would never turn down such an offer. Lol. Alot of hunters will NOT eat these wild feral hogs, and it just blows me away. I have eaten Texas wild hog, fresh off the grill. I'm telling you, if you have not tried it, you are missing out. But I feel that way about all wild meat harvested. I myself, will NOT kill anything I am not going to eat myself. I don't eat antlers. Lol But I will and have happily shared many meals, of wild game and fish, on a fall barbecue or fish fry. There are so many areas effected by these feral hogs, and the opportunity to fill your freezers full of great tasting and nourishing meat. Wild turkey does taste different from a farm raised turkey from the groceries freezer. White tail deer in Wisconsin tastes way different from a Mule deer in North Dakota. So it is probable a wild hog is going to taste different than a farn raised, corn fed pig from Iowa. Lol. I would love to get a wild hog EVERY year, for self consumption. And yes....I would still share my meals with friends and family. Lol

I allways do is add 3 cups of apple cider vinegar or white vinegar,with a lot of ice on the meat,after 2 days drain the water and add more ice,that helps the get rid of the wild taste specially on the males hogs, i keep the meat for 5 to 7 days and thats it you're all done.

[@zfodge1]

3 adults and 11 kids on a dairy farm. We had 250 cows. 50 to 100 pigs that we would harvest or sell to others. A 2 acre garden. Plus hunting and fishing. Dad would always donate a full size hog and a steer to our church every year for those that needed the meat. Plus we sold a lot of the extra vegtables on the main highway that bordered the farm. We also gave some of the extra vegtables to the church. We had 3 ponds with 2 being catfish and the third being carp. We would feed all 3 corn to make them grow and taste better. Plus we ate water moccasin snakes and we had common snapping turtles. Deep fried. ❤

Agree totally from start to finish; however, I try to leave as much of the carcass intake as I can over the week on ice. If pig is small enough to fit I'll only split down the middle and have two halves. If larger, then I will take off the hinds, but leave them attached to spine, same with forequarters (leave attached to spine. When muscles contract they get tough, but will relax again if still on bone. Other than that, I do them the same way. 👍👍👍

Maybe some has mentioned this or you may already know . By by covering your ice with salt, it will last longer/ depending with the conditions. The temperature of the ice will get drop much colder as soon as it touches the ice.

We don't have wild pigs close to me, so I never ate one. I do know the mistake I made with a big ol' boar, though. I did this back 40 years ago when I knew everything. We needed to dispatch an adult boar that got mean. I was told to neuter him and feed him for 3 months or so THEN process him. I didn't. I'd already fed him for about 4 years, and I thought that was long enough. I thought he might be tough, but I expected he'd taste like pork. The meat tasted of ammonia, or some cleaning product, and only the chickens ate.it, and I was worried it might hurt the chickens, but it didn't.

Feral hogs are a destructive nuisance. We kill all we can and the meat is great. I stopped self-processing because of the number of hogs we were removing. The meat is not wasted. It is all processed, including lots of the meat and scraps for sausage. We donate most now to local food banks and shelters, but keep a few hundred pounds in freezers for BBQ's almost every weekend. The shoulders (Boston Butts) are melt in your mouth tender when smoked on a Kamado and the loins and hams are great too. The ribs are not as meaty as domestic hog ribs so we normally trim them out use that meat for sausage.

[@nicke1903]

We try to Donate everything but then alot of times the Familly can't afford butchering/packaging either. I'm not set up to do it, nor can I pay for every hog to be processed so 3/4 of it goes to the rendering plant if not more.

[@toddotterson7568]

Da yoopers! Yeah der hey. Lol Bring them some Superior smelt to fry up.

[@u.p.woodtick3296]

Todd Otterson trying to put deer in the freezer now. Damn hogs are now over in the central U.P. but I think the wolves and cougars are keeping the numbers down

[@timungrysr3326]

Ooowee! I love that Wild Hog Meat! I like making Summer Sausage out of mine, with Onion , Garlic, Cheddar cheese! I've given some to my City friends who had never tasted Wild game and they loved it and wanted more! I now live in Alaska and I do Black Bear Sausage the same way! I have Grizzly Bear meat but it's way too strong in taste for me!? Like eating Muctuck (whale Blubber) maybe one of these days I'll try making some 🐻

[@joeanthony9162]

Looks like authentic bar b q meat to me. Great video. Thanks.

We have been hunting and eating deer meat and we discovered a lot of hog prints so we built a trap and today is the third day and we got one so it’s been fun learning about what to do with it

Feed the vets and homeless Legal citizens

I’ve never eaten wild pig but I’d like to try it. I live in Western Kentucky and we don’t have wild pigs here yet. I’d have to get it from further south. It’s probably just a matter of time before we are infested with them.

[@betpatpatten3840]

Do you check for warm casts in the meat tissue? Do you find worms in your meat? I always heard that’s one of the reasons why wild pig meat was not safe to eat

[@Unknown-od5te]

Yea me too I heard they were full of worms

[@joelclark2130]

Every processing tip you could give me. Would be greatly appreciated thank you very much

[@garyclark6281]

One old guy told me the best way to prepare wild boar, is to pack him in cow shit, bake for 8 hours, then throw away the hog and eat the shit.

[@rafterrafter5320]

So basically,that's you do with your meat; You processed it , you put it on ice, and eventually you'll eat it; Wow thanks for the insight dude, I've learned so much today.😵

[@spidergoose891]

Have you tried dry aging it and still prefer this? I was planning on converting an old refrigerator to keep it at 40f and 80% humidity for dry aging.

[@southernboyzoutdoors502]

Never tried dry aging wild pork

[@spidergoose891]

@@southernboyzoutdoors502 it works great on deer. Never had venison so good and tender.

[@davidsirmon8425]

Good video, I do the same with deer meat. It makes a difference in getting a lot of the wild taste out.

[@AfrikQ10]

Liberia should have individual Butcher Shops As Well. There are plenty areas out in the Counties as well.

[@ericwiltz6584]

I'm a Yankee relocated to TX. Never seen it done this way. Will try the next time. When you say process, what are you talking about: grinding, sausage, steaks, stew meat?

[@davidandrews2471]

Now, how often do you have to change the ice in the cooler? I’m thinking it melts pretty quickly, and if you’re keeping the meat in their for 7 days…

[@burtonh1]

What!? we don't get to see you put it on the grill?

[@backyardgrillmaster2910]

I know big ass tease please put it on the grill.

[@hueroski]

he's not right man

[@jrs351]

I mean, I’d hate to invite myself but I will.

[@Bogie3855]

The price is right and no season on the wild porkers. Figure thats about $200 worth of meat. Gonna get me one for sure. Thanks, good info.

[@sirbernardmendesfrance6817]

Should invest in making wild smoked hams for retail sales in the region. Maybe there’s a market for them in sausages, of various types too. Or, bacon.
