510 lb Wild Pig

[Grizzly Adams]

Good job, though there's not much "wild" in that one. You got a Hutterite colony nearby? Looks like maybe one of their escapees.

My thoughts exactly. Also exceptionally large, most domestic pigs get the chop at about half that weight. Wouldn't expect it to be good eating, especially if it's an intact boar. Thinking he's been through at least one winter, looks like the ears are partially frozen.

Looks like a domestic pig that happened to get loose, U sure its not Joe Farmers pig? The wild ones in Sask are black hairy beasts with big tusks.

Cheers!!

Gonna process it all? Wish I lived nearby, I'd help you make bacon and Proscuitto and Capicollo.

a roaming pig is a roaming pig,
I am much less worried about where it came from, compared to how are you going to build a spit big enough to Roast the damn thing!!!

Apparently resolves the hog defense gun question....snort

Congrats on the bacon, that's a prize hog. I like to mix it with deer and make deer/hog link sausage.

I don't see many that "pretty" in the swamps down south.

Are the wild hogs any good to eat? You don't hear to much about it.

are they ever.
if you get a few pick off anything under 300lb.
i plugged a 500lb one and she wasnt as nice to eat as the 250lb
i have managed to shoot a baby 20lb and that was divine.

If they ever move into the area, I'll definitely give them a try.
