I dunno Barlow. On the pigs I raise and slaughter for myself, that is about right. Some people eat every darn thing on a hog; tongue, kidneys, intestines, the inside fat, liver, brain, feet...not a lot of scrap when some people do a hog. Grosses me out.

I know my dog would just love those pig ears!<br /><br />I don't think I would want to make him mad while in the brush! <br /><br />You guys should be ashamed of yourselves making fun of that girl. That is someones daughter! I should say someones well fed daughter. Dang you guys got me doing it now.!

Does decomposing equal weight loss?

Yes NYM, when a body decomposes, it looses weight.

I had seen wild boar that size in Germany when I was stationed there in the 70's. I remember they were longer than a jeep was wide and tended to be very protective of their young.<br /><br />Bob

I would have to believe that is some kind of genetic mutation to get so big. Would you eat a mutant?

It is not uncommon for those Russian Boars to get that big...

Re: Now that's a Hog

I remember as a kid, my grandfather had a neighbor come over to the farm with his Cockshut 540 tractor. My grandfather farmed with horses and his horses didn't want anything to do with the hog he had been raising. So that is why the neighbor brought over his tractor. <br /><br />They wrapped a rope around its head and the other end to the tractor to take the hog from its pen to the area where he did his butchering. It was a slight grade up hill. When they got to the top, the hog decided he didn't want to go that direction and took off dragging the tractor with it! So they just shot him on the spot thinking that they could just drag him back up. Didn't work that way, so they ended up gutting him on the spot, rolled the carcus onto a skid and got the rest back to the butcher station. That was one hog that everybody was terrified of.<br /><br />The funniest thing was the fighting going on who got the possession of the mountain oysters! The top prize a hillbilly can get!

Which of the above pictures are we talking about?<br /><br />What is wrong with you Yanks? Telescopic sights on a revolver, for Chrissake! Handguns are point and shoot weapons, for close up. We don't bother with them here. If it's under rifle range we just run them down on foot and belt them on the head with a club. <br /><br />But the pigs are dangerous so we still shoot them.
