Went up to Georgia last weekend and worked on the hunting camp. We headed out Friday for the six hour drive. I rode up with Barry and it was very hot in Ga 104 degrees so when you worked outside you were drenched.

Met Fred and Kenny up there and they had already fixed the check valve on the pump so we had water. I took up some grouper and some Gator tail and I fried it up for dinner, made some habanero, garlic, and fish sauce dipping sauce and we feasted.

Saturday we moved a covered porch into position so we could have a covered common cooking and eating area, then put some electrical to it, and a counter top for food prep and were done by noon.

I took a shower and a nap in my frosty trailer while the guys went to a funeral of an old timer that we lease some of our land from (I didn't know him well so I skipped it).

That afternoon about six I went for a walk around my area and took my 6.8 AR with Trijicon scope in case I saw a pig. Sure enough after walking around my food plot I took the road to a spin feeder at the end of the ridge. As i was walking I see a pig walking up the road toward me and got me a sow about 100lbs.









I roasted the bones for stock.





I'm going to cook the ribs real slow and take the to a party on the 4th. Boned out the hams, and back straps, and ground some for sausage.

Nice Pig, I asked the same question about 10 years ago and was told to clean it two or three times and it would be fine. Ended up having to have a skin graft on my finger and huge piece was gone into the gut bucket. Its fine now!

You have a better chance of winning the lottery than getting anything from your cut finger, just clean it good.

What? Like grow tucks?

That would be awesome.

You will be fine. Pigs are almost always clean.

I know more than one Florida hog hunter that got Brucellosis

Sure, there is a chance with my meat. I have never heard of any problems with wild hog from anyone I know personally.


Some people like to scare others by using the TB threat.
