How to process hog?

Whatever you do, be sure to cook the meat to at least 170 degrees to kill any diseases they carry.

FYI, the FDA lowered the recommended minimum cooking temp for pork to 145F about 6 or 7 years ago.

Great video. Really shows how to make quick work of the task in the field, then finish on a tailgate and right into ice chest.

if they are small I'll roast them whole, they love it at work! if between 80-150 and lean I'll cut out the straps, shoulders, and hams. If fat ill do the same but keep the bellies too. If its a big old boar I'll use it for coyote bait and do some predator hunting.
