Handling hogs in the field

[Kurdawg]

I wash them with soap before cleaning, not to kill bugs or fleas but to wash **** and dirt off. I've cleaned and eaten 4 mature boars since I started and none of them stunk up the house in the frying pan.

I hang and shampoo with soap and water to get mud and stuff off
I wear gloves also.
But i don't clean boars regardless.

Don't gut them and your good to go. Most of the hogs I shoot I just take the front and back legs and the straps. The ribs don't have enough meat to bother with and the inner tenderloins are so small it's not worth going after.

^^^^^^^exactly this! there is no reason to field dress a hog!

What are gloves? Who's doing dishes? Pepper is better on cooked pigs. Shoot em. Cut em up. Cook em. Eat em.

How on earth is trichinosis related to cleaning pigs? You can only get it from eating infected meat correct? Plus there was what, less than 20 cases in the US last year?
