Pork and NO beans

As my much beloved wife mentioned I went huntin again. It was a perfect weekend in Mexia, Tx.

My buddy Tater has a neighbor who has land there. Unfortunatly here in Texas havin land means that, more often then not, you have feral hogs.

Feral hogs are becomin more and more of a nusisance. They are not a native species and they are devistating many of our animals who do belong. Between the pigs and fireants things like our beloved horned lizards (Horney Toads), quail and white tailed deer are on the decline. Also pigs do massive amounts of damage to land and crops, plus spreadin diseases such as pseudorabies and brucelossis.

Thankfully there is an answer for pigs on your property.







Here is a bonus video of Tater for your enjoyment:

What do you do with that Pork? Do you eat it? jerk it? smoke it? What with it? Gotta know.

Anonymous- it all depends on the size of the pig. Large males are not worth a darn, I prefer the ones that weigh about 60 pounds or less for eatin.

So when you eat pig....do you make it into hams, bacon,and chops (process it)or do you bbq it with an apple in its mouth over an open pit?

Hi Anonymous!

We've never processed one, but are definately willing to when the opportunity presents itself. The last one that came home had been smoked in a pit.

Another of my favorite ways is to turn em into sausage, or have Tater make it into some of his Tamallies. Which btw are the best made in the whole world. He has been accused by mexican women of holdin an old mexican lady prisoner and forcin her to cook them.

Yum! Tamallies! But that pig does not look too appetitizing!!!! I don't think i would care to eat it!!!

Yup, reckon you are correct, that guy is a bit past his prime and was returned to the nitrogen cycle. But, feral hogs in general taste better then pigs raised in hog confinements, they are just a bit uglier.
