Another wild hog bites the dust
« Reply #-1 on: June 18, 2015, 08:31:42 AM »
Guy shoots wild hog.  Another guy makes Jalapeno & Cheddar Cheese summer sausage.  Both guys happy!  :D

15 pounds after 3 hrs of smoke.  The casings look splotchy but they got an even smoke and the meat is just fine.


Gave them a hot water bath to bring IT to 152 then into a cool pool and on counter to bloom.


No photo of the finished product.  We cut into a chub and they were pretty hog dang good.

I love game meats, and your sausage should be great!

My last wild hog had a fairly sweet taste to it.  Better tasting than any store bought pork I have bought.  I need to get another one and into my freezer.  Mixed with my elk meat it produced some amazing elk chili and elk summer sausage.

Nope not gammy at all.  The hogs that I have been making summer sausage and snack sticks are either sows or young boars.  The old boars will give a gammy taste.

 The wild hogs are much leaner most of the time.

 If you get your dog out and have him hold that Boar down, You can tie him up, cut his testicles off. Pack some axle grease and sulfur on the incision , Let him go and next year he wont be so gammy. He'll be fat and lazy...  ;)
