    Ferrel Pig?

    Just what he said about bleeding out! I have only eaten wild twice, both times it was from a buddies kill, and they were between 80-120 lb I helped do the cooking, and I will say those two were absolutly the best pig I have ever tasted

    Lobster topper

    I do lobster tails somewhat the same, except i cut the top as mentioned, pull the meat out and lay over the tail, use butter, a tad bit of rosemary, and a slight injection of cajun/garlic butter. they turn out fantastic!
