I had a successful pig hunt this morning. This is my first wild pig. I'm sure people have experimented with recipes for wild pigs. I'm looking for suggestions?!

    Yeah, if it's a smaller one it should be tasty depending on what it ate. Last one I put a rub on and grilled raised direct. Turned out great. Don't bother with a low and slow though.

    These pigs were in orange groves down in Florida. I'm hoping that the oranges will makes them sweet. My first thought was to smoke w orange wood.

    I cooked a big ham off a wild hog not to long ago. I just rubbed it down really good and injected with Apple juice and vinegar. I put it on at 250 and it took 11.5 hours to get to 180 degrees. I was gonna cook it to 200 but didnt have the time so I just chopped the meat. It actually tasted better to me the next day.

    140 is a good size for eating. Where at in Florida? I go down to a ranch in Wauchula a couple times a year that does hog hunting. Been wanting to go again soon. Getting hot though.

    I would smoke it and mop it with a pretty acidic mop sauce.

    I shot a 80lb sow a week ago during a bow hunt.  Just got the processed bratwurst sausages back yesterday from Hartzells meat market in Lake Placid.  Smoked them for about 25 minutes at 300 last night for dinner.  I will say the best hog sausage I have ever had.  Don't know if it was the Egg or the way it was processed.  Also just got a tender four point on sunday......mmmmmm sweet meat.
