Tucker Posted January 3, 2016 Report Posted January 3, 2016 Hey folks, need a little help on this one. A friend came back from a hunt in Tx with 2 sows. One was approx 200 pounds. Need some opinions on how to smoke the front and rear quarters. Brine? Inject? Duration and temp? Thanks all for the input. Happy New Year
ckreef Posted January 3, 2016 Report Posted January 3, 2016 I get baby wild hogs from time to time. Last one I got I butchered it up. I cut off what would be the 2 Boston butts as a whole piece. 2 shoulders, 2 hams, then stripped out the loins and tenderloins. At that point you can cook as you would if you had store bought. Brining might help take away the gamey taste but in the approximately 60 lb babies I've gotten there really wasn't a gamey taste. Look under my profile you should be able to find my thread where I did the butchering. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT
