“I think I would like to do it after the Texas Summer cools down a little”

You and me both. As with most critters in Texas, hunting them in the summer is probably not a good idea due to the parasites and other nasty conditions. Plus, they won’t come out during the daytime if it’s too warm.

I’ll talk to my buddy and what he says.

[wolfcreek]

Thanks! I’ll keep that in mind.

MANGLED GENITALS PING

In my experience it completely depends on what they are eating.

My husband killed a 400 lb russian boar that was eating in a peanut patch. We couldn’t tell the difference between it and store-bought pork. We even served it to company.

Another time he killed 3 little ones that a rancher had trapped in a pen. They were so foul tasting we had to throw it all out.

what’s your cholesterol reading again? ; )

[wolfcreek]

Them chops don’t look bad either.

[wolfcreek]

The fat in wild pig is supposedly better for you than farm raised/slaughter house pork.

Wonder how that translates in cholesterol?

Well, there was once a prominent Texan named Ima Hogg...

I love acorn-fed Iberico. Once you've had that, you will never eat a Smithfield again.

There is a store in Philadelphia that sells Iberico ham for $100 a pound.

But she weren’t no Aggie.

I never sausage misery.
