First boar on our land

357mag · 01-22-2011, 04:13 PM

The hunting team were out this morning and one of the guests shot the first wild boar to be shot on our land.
It was a single sow, we are guessing close to 200 lb. :thumb:

It now hangs in my garage for a week.

After the "hanging" it will be time to "Pig Out!"

Good size hog.Do you have to have the meat tested becouse of the Chernobyl
Nuclear Power Plant from the 70s?I read a story that wild hogs in germany must be tested.

Nice looking hog.. Here in America the population is becoming a menace.
They are doing tremendous amounts of damage too farmers crops.
By mixing with domestic hogs. They are also getting much larger in the wild.
In Florida here, they can legally be shot on private land year round.
Enjoy your meal. Good shooting.

No, we had that problem with cesium in Roe deer and Moose, but I think it's gone now. We were not hit as bad as Germany and specially not in this area of Sweden. It was actually worse further north up the Baltic coast.

We do need to send a sample in for testing for trichinella.
It's fairly rare that they have it, but you don't want to take any chances.

Nice hog!

Trichinella is taken care of if you cook it right? No?

Had an an acquaintance, several years ago, who thought it was great pig hunting sport to crawl through the brush, after pig, with a TC pistol.
"It really gets the adrenalyn pumpin'" was his attitude. :

Sounds more like a great way to get covered with ticks and snake bit in the face to me.

I definately agree with THAT!
And unless the "game" is shooting back, I prefer to stand and shoot.
That way if something goes wrong I'm ready to charge to the rear!
