Anyone have one they'd be willing to share?

Thanks in advance

Clean the feral pig very carefully including scraping hair off hair you are leaving skin on and cooking over open fire or in the oven ..if not, don't worry this will work with or without hide...cut up enough carrots, potatoes , onions , celery, and all other vegetables you like...soak a piece of good hardwood plank in water (oak, mesquite, etc..) ...make sure it is big enough to hold all vegetables and the pork. ..Season veggies and pork generously....cover very tightly with foil and make sure it is airtight., (around wood and all) ..place wood over a low fire/coals or in the oven . Cook slowly on low temp until the pig is done.. several hours
When done carefully undo the foil and discard the feral pig and vegetables...serve the wood with a good wine!!!!!!!

This also works well with diving ducks....

I've made this recipe for different groups and there are never any leftovers. And its easy to make.


Hog recipe from TPWD TV Show

Pulled Pork in a crock pot is probably the easiest for the big chunks (shoulder, ham, etc.) The Pioneer Woman has a good recipe here. I'd just add a bit more juice than she says since its not gonna have all the fat that a storebought pig would.

Tenderloins are still just as good for pork chops, ya just gotta keep a closer eye on it and make sure ya dont dry it out. Lower the temps in a oven, or cook em wet with some sort of sauce on it.

Take the trimmings and make some sausage out of it.

Also, I generally freeze wild hog for a few weeks before I do anything with it. Some may say that its not necessary, but I do it anyway, especially since its generally cleaned in a less than sanitary environment., and I may end up serving it to guests.

If it is frozen, do not rush the thawing. It'll be as tough as leather if ya try to defrost it in a microwave or use hot water. I prefer to soak it in regular ice water, but a lot of people will add a bit of vinegar or lemon juice to leech out the gamey taste, but if ya don't like a bit of gamey flavor, plain water works just as well.

i've got it in the cooler on ice for the time being and will probably keep it there until wednesday or so. probably use the back straps in the crock pot and throw a quarter or two on the grill this weekend once if find a recipe

Throw one of those loins on the grill.

ground pork in cheese dip makes a great appetizer. Velvetta, rotel, & pork in a crock pot is easy.

Had wild pig that was soaked in milk in an ice chest for hours and it was awesome.

Had wild pig that was was simply left in an ice chest to bleed out a day or so and it was awesome.

Had wild pig that was thrown onto a mesquite fire grill Rambo style (entire leg minus hoof) after it had been killed and smoked a few hours. Sliced right off the bone straight onto some bread. It was awesome.

Salt and pepper for the meat, beer for you.
