I killed a wild hog once when he walked up to me on a game trail I was sitting in. Big old boar, probably 250 lbs. or more. I hung him in a tree in my back yard skinned him with GREAT effort (you have to strip skin the big ones because they have an inch thick layer of gristle between the skin and the shoulder meat)and cut him up like a deer. I had all the meat made into ground sausage. I'd defrost a pound or so at a time and make patties for frying. The stuff would not make its own grease so I had to melt butter in the pan before I could cook. Probably because of the butter it was actually pretty good...Geo
