did you turn that guy into ham and pork chops?

Yes and it had a little pissy taste to it and I tried to soak it out using lemon juice and something else that someone posted on here that worked maybe it was vinegar and lemon juice.
Soak drain soak drain etc etc and it remained pissy flavored.

I no longer keep any males as there are plenty of female pigs and my freezers are getting over full with it.

Another observation the big buck deer eating mostly green winter wheat have a terrible smell to the meat like arse holes but the bucks down south eating acorns are not smelly like wheat eaters.

I was told by a cattle farmer you pull the cattle off the wheat for some time before you send them to market or say butcher them because they do not taste as good.

I am learning things.

These female hogs on the wheat taste just fine. My wife prefers wild hog meat vs deer now.

Did it smell a little off while cleaning it? I’ve found that they often taste how the meat smells during the butchering process.

A little bit and I thought it would not be all that bad but it was and now if it smells I toss it.
I even pressure canned it thinking the pissy would go away but it did not.

Im impressed!! just trying to use the meat is a good thing as most don't keep wild pigs -- I can't even imagine what my wife would say if I brought wild pig home for her to cook -- when I was young and hunted my mother would cook squirrels, rabbits, doves, all sorts of fish, etc that I brought home - rest of family would make funny faces when it hit the dinner table but it was very gratifying for me to deliver food to the table like that -- keep doing what you do.

I normally do the wild meat cooking and no one has turned up their nose at my Breakfast or Italian sausage I make.
They all want the recipe or want more.

My maternal grandmother would cook anything my grandfather and I brought in, but I’ve got 7 squirrels in the freezer now from hunts last month that I’ll have to cook them when my wife’s not home. She’s not a fan of wild game.

My wife would go hunting with her dad and grandfather in Missouri and she would carry the squirrels they shot by the tails and carry the frogs in the gunny sack.
She was kind of tom boyish.
Her first vehicle was a 1977 Yamaha XS400 she learned to ride in a field.

that brings me back - gigging frogs - spent lots of hours late at night in a flat bottom boat - those too mom would fry up - we would get a kick out of them nearly jumping out of the pan as they cooked

When I was a kid in 70’s, my parents had friends whose family had a big ranch up by Bartlesville, and we went up there once and did a bunch of frog gigging. It was the only time I’ve done it, and as I remember, it was a lot of fun.

When float tube fishing farm ponds and watersheds I'd always kept a extra rod and reel in the tube with me rigged up with a plastic worm and when I'd see a good size frog I'd cast a little ways up on the bank behind him and twitch it back to me and would normally catch them on the first cast and just put them on a stringer and drag them around with me while I fished till I got ready to come home....caught a bunch of them that way and they were dam good eating.
