Hog hunts...

Hog hunting is really fun. I am going to keep at it - I am hoping for a big boar at some point.

M7025-06, what type of smoker did you use? Coal or electric?

I make this from time to time to give away to people that come with us.
It gets hairy at times and like Mongo said he was stuck in the briars, stuff always happens! I tried to climb a tree and slid down and took a cutter across the right butt check and have a nasty 4 inch deep scar.
(edit) on that necklace there is a couple of Javelina cutters as well as razorback.

Not in my experience. As mentioned sows are better and younger is too. But you have to make sausage out of something, right? Also a little marinating helps. The first hog I ever got lived in sugar cane fields near Lake Okeechobee, FL. It ATE SUGAR for a living. That was deeeelicious.
We need more pictures: Pig I shot in Missouri last year- had pretty nice cutters and weighed about 220- he's the one not wearing the hat! Picture of my buddies hog that same trip. And a crappy cell pic of a sow my brother shot in Florida a couple yrs ago. I was driving to pick him up out of the stand -almost pitch black, He had climbed out and was waiting when this sow started rooting around about 50ft away from him. He shined his flashlight on her and shot- got her! Hogs are vermin in Florida and do not require a license- or legal shooting hours, btw.

Right now I'm using a small gas smoker my uncle built out of an old hot-water heater. I've got my eye on a couple of electric units at Cabelas though. Two of my cousins each have one and they are pretty nice.
