Wild Hog Sausage

[Goat]

Here is a little wild hog sausage that I pulled out of the smoke house yesterday. :) Just trying to fill the freezers for the coming year. I have one more deer hunt, (harvesting does off a ranch in a management program) to go on this year, and that square will be filled. I know that there will be some more hogs come by. I really like those loins cut 1 or 2 inches thick and cooked on the pit.

I hope to meet some of you at the HLS&R Cookoff.

No fat needed, as we had a good acorn crop and plenty of corn out of the deer feeders. I did add 1/3 venison.

Freefaller, I apoligize if I misled you. :lol:

Wow..yall indeed fortunant to have such nice fat wild hawgs. The ones we get in this neck o the woods is about as lean as a greyhound and got about the same amount of meat on em. One notable exception was when I got two one time from up near the Red River where an old boy had trapped em alive and finished em out on corn for 30 days then processed em under fairly sanitary conditions. Now them was nice and sweet and tolerable on the pit...but learnt the hard way they was still too lean for good sausage. Added a few store bought butt trimmings but apparently not enough. That stuff just refused to hang together in the cases. You take a bite and it fall outta there like chicklets. Was enough to turn me against trying to use em. I dont even take free ones nowadays. Glad yall dont suffer from that problemo.

I'm glad your hogs have a high fat content. The ones I shoot are so dang lean they are actually dry when you cook the sausage. My last hog I had them add pork fat and they thought I was crazy. But..... It was a much better batch of sausage than the last.

How did it taste?

A heavy mast does for boar meat what perfect weather does for creating vintge wine. I can remember three years when I was growing up in TN and old enough to hunt that the mast in the Tellico Plains area was something to talk about and somethng to make boar hunters do anything, including break the law, to get an animal. Almost never will a stand of trees produce a heavy mast two years in a row. Sometimes a stand will go 3,4,5 years. "Follow the mast" was my grandfathers advice.

And when you see one, you will truly, truly know what fear is, a fear that will bring an unforgettable taste to your mouth.
