Need Advice - Wild Hog Hind Quarter

edited November -1 in EggHead Forum
My buuddy killed a wild hog and brought me one of the hind quarters.

I'm thinking I'll just go low and slow to 200 deg. However, I'm wondering if it will be "gamey tasting" and if I should do anything prior to cooking to prepare the meat.

Any advice would be appreciated.

    You may find the taste a little bit different, but not much. Be sure to brine it as it doesn't contain as much internal fat as domestic pork. Other than that, proceed as you would for a butt (it will rest in the plateau almost as long as domestic). I cook at 220* indirect and my hunting buddies fight for my "wild pulled pork".

    Was it a boar or sow? That will have a big influence on the amount of "gamey" taste.
