Hey guys, I was just wondering if a whole wild pig can be prepared to be roasted...
Ive done it few times with domesticated pig but is it possible to do it with a wild pig?
I heard they're kinda hard to prepare it.
What about burning the hair and scrape them off?
Sure, A pig is a pig!
Should be able to treat it just like a domestic one.
I always skin mine but lots of people scald and scrape their wild pigs.
scald and scrape hell get a torch and burn it off then cook it.
Do I burn the hairs with a torch first or dip it in hot water first and scrape skin off? which first? lol....
You scald the hog first, then scrape the hair off. The idea is to pull the hair out by the roots. If you shave or torch it, you are leaving the base of the hair in the skin and it will be nasty. You can torch off a few hairs here and there that are hard to get to, but its gotta be scalded and scraped
I have not personally done one in a long time, but I suggest watching someone do it that knows what they are doing. If you get the water too hot, or let it sit in the water too long the hair will set and you can't scrape it off with a chain saw. A buddy of mine has a system down pat and swears the ideal temp is like 150*.
