Bacon Bits.....The Universal Fairy Dust of the Food World!

You'all be careful. A friend of ours is a hunter and a friend of the local game warden. Evidently some captive wild hogs got loose and were running around in a local state park up in Oxford, Ohio a couple years ago. The game warden called our friend and said he could use some help, and they went huntin'. When they found the hogs our friend took the first shot and hit a hog in the head....and it spun around and charged him.....the next shot hit the hog again and it just kept coming....the game warden was on the side and took a shot and hit the hog in the shoulder......and it fell and slid to a stop about 25 feet from our friend. When they hung the hog up in the garage the back feet were tied to the rafters 8' up and the nose almost touched the floor.

Babyhog, there is a place in Milton (a slaughterhouse ) that will fix these right up for ya. They will even smoke the meat for ya, if you like, for just a few cents extra a pound. My buddy who lives near me in Fayette County just started raising pigs for meat and has been taking his down there. He brought out some fresh smoked bacon and sausage a few nights ago and we had a huge breakfast for supper. I'd never had fresh bacon and I gotta say...It was the best I've had.
I hear wild hogs taste a little different, but the guys I know that have ate them, said they prefer them over the norm.

Ralph, I used to work with some guys that use a place in Milton... probably the same place. I recently moved from Saint Albans to Parkersburg, but grew up in Fayette County. Smithers until high school. Had family around Boomer. Small world huh. My camp is in Mason Co. Have a brother-in-law that has raised several pigs (slaughtered the last two last winter). Fresh bacon is absolutely the most-awesomest! Of course, as WD pointed out, their taste depends alot on their diet, so you know what the ones you are raising are eating. I hear these wild ones will chow down on anything.

Ok JOG, I agree, its time to damage the hogs.... load up me weapon...

Thanks for the warning Dave. Thats a big pig. It might behoove me to make a phone call or two. I remember some exotic wild animals getting loose not long ago, somewhere around Zanesville? Crazy stuff.

Not a a issue out here in the northwest. Are they pretty common in that neck of the woods? Are they good eating or too tough? Out here in this politically correct, sissy part of the world, people would be lining the street taking photos and if you shot one you would be all over the front page of the newspaper and the lead story on the nightly news.

Guess I better not say anything about the half dozen or so feral piglets they killed and ate. Shot the sow... waited a bit and the babies came back to suckle...
Gutted them...and wrapped in foil and threw on the smoker... They said it was fine eating... wish I had been on it.

Yeah how about them MS gators... 721 and 724 pounds ... and that's just weekend 1

REAL bacon... OH GAWD!!!!!!!!!!
I have only had it once... bout made me crazy it was soo good.

I have no desire to see a live one up that close without a gun in my hand. "Knife and rope only".... No thank you. I've seen it on tv, but no, not my cup of tea. The nice looking bucks they have, on the other hand, would be awesome!

National Crisis!

Well that's what the local TV said....

http://www.wapt.com/news/mississippi/state-lawmakers-discuss-wild-hog-problem...

So my idea- instead of doing a true up "bounty" ( they say there are more hogs than money to for bounties) .. how about state run hog hunts.

Landowners could ask to be put on a list
Landowner would set a date range ( like not during harvest)
landowner would set aside a parking area
State would hire a guide, maybe someone to gut and haul off said guts
Folks would sign up, pay a small fee and show up with gun in hand

It would work down here Grin

Crazy. I hear they reproduce 2 to 3 times a year and have maybe 10 per litter, so even though that doesn't sound outrageous, its much more than deer and we know how overpopulated the deer can become.

As for mine, I didn't see any this weekend and didn't get any more pics last week, so I guess they cleaned me out and moved on. Squirrel season starts this coming weekend so although I don't normally squirrel hunt, I think I'll go sit all day Saturday.

Yep, you guys can't even eradicate nutria w/o incurring the wrath of the tree hugging, even poison deserves love, whack job set. Portland's nutria problem made the news in the South, and we're infested with the things. At least here we're allowed to shoot them.
