I just examined the pork...it's awesome, that is all I can say. It has a very pleasant scent...fresh and tasty, even raw! The ham is huge...takes up the whole bottom of one drawer in our fridge. The chops fill a quart baggie...we're having them for supper.

The ground pork is just plain, so I took out enough to fill my hand and added a bit of sage, some salt and some pepper, formed it into a patty and fried it as an experiment.

It coulda used more sage, imo, but otherwise it was just delicious....I mean totally delicious! No gamey flavor, not too tough...just delicious. The boys smelled it cooking and came running for a free sample! I saved a bite for Steve...

2JM: wild or feral hogs' meat can be delicious, though better meat generally comes from the younger ones.
In MO, there is no restriction on hunting them, no season, sort of shoot on sight. But it does help to know if your neighbor has turned some loose to feed on acorns. Good fences make good neighbors. There is a pretty good wild population down by Fort Lost in the Woods.
