Thanks Pappy. The little ones are extremely good eating. I killed a really teeny pig one time that had the misfortune of being behind the one I shot at. It looked like a rabbit on the grill at the lease.
Wild pork is just like venison. Cared for properly, it is every bit as good as domestic pork and better for you. However, there is more risk for parasites so it is very important to cook it to correct internal temperature. Cared for improperly, it can be very gamey. The hardest thing about hog hunting down here is getting the meat properly cooled and on ice quickly enough. I hunted into summer last year and the window for finding and processing a wild pig before it begins to spoil is very short. Fortunately, most hunting is done at night in the coolest part of the day, but if you don't drop a hog on the spot or get a good blood trail it can be trouble.
If your travels lead you over here and to Dallas, I'll be happy to serve you some.
George
