Killed a couple of hogs for the first time yesterday. On Deer i usually let the meet sit in cooler and keep it iced for three - 5 days and drain it often. Do I do the same thing with hogs?
I got a 75 lb sow and a 166 lb boar hog. Boar hog I was planning on grinding everything but the tender loin. Sow I don't plan on grinding anything. Any tips or suggestions for making the meat taste less wild/gamey?
Keep icing and draining. The meat should come out close to the color of store bought pork... That will also reduce gameyness. It will still taste somewhat wild though.
Save some of your bigger pieces and cure your own ham. It is very simple to do and you will never buy store bought ham ever again. Search in recipes or I can post link later when I get to a computer

I found it under Recipes. I will give it a try. Thanks!
I did the whole hog last time. Ice salt water soaking till the water runs clear instead of pink.
You can also add vinegar.
I love wild hog cured or not Curried it like any good quality ham or uncured it like pork.
If you have a grinder it makes great sausage.
