Saving bullets

That's the kind of 'Hog' I thought the OP meant.

^^^ Me Too!!!

I read the post mentioning a Cooper 223 and immediately thought, "That's ballsy using such a nice gun for pigs." I guess I should have expanded the thumbnail photos, which in their mini-format kinda looked like wombats?! Its been a weird Friday so I just rolled with it.

Congrats on the Northern Hogs! Do you eat them and if so what do they taste like? Batter them with cornflakes and pan fry?

It must be dinner time... chicken fried steak now sounds great!

Its not dead enough! Should have used a 338 lapua minimum, obviously!

The hind legs can be a tasty morsel. The best way I found to cook them is on a charcoal grill. Marinate them for about 4 to 8 hours in a mixture of soy sauce, A1 sauce, oregano, garlic powder, black pepper. Using a grill allows the fat to grill off creating a "smoke' taste. Yummy.

The meat is dark and marbled with fat. Sort of like a fat duck or geese.

However, having a few cold beers; correction - make that several, before dining on them definitely helps enhances the experience.

Your mention of duck/geese brought a thought to mind. Have you considered quartering up a few of them and adding them to a gumbo? Add a little mint leaf to tone down any gaminess.
