New around heah

[doo dah]

Guess I found this sight out of necessity. I own a deer camp in the swamps of Mississippi. Seems that the wild hogs like it a lot. My biologist friend told me that I need to take out 85% of the critters per year just to stabalize the numbers. So, I am trying to comply. 40 or so have been killed in the last 2 years. I have only made sausage so far and might need you fellows input on smoking hams etc. Give me a hand and I'll take you hunting. Thanks Joe Herring AKA Doo Dah

Welcome to the family, sure does sound like you got your hands full.

I would take you up on that offer, however....here in Texas I got enough of them Darn critters to deal with on my own. I sure don't have to travel very far to shoot a whole mess of em.

Good Luck and keep us posted, remember we like pics (q-view)

And ask away with all your questions, the only stupid question is the one you didn't ask

Good Luck, Happy Hunting

D.D.
If it didn't cost me a left testicle to get a Miss. hunting licenese id be happy to cross the border and help ya in your quest for a pig slaughter.
But as it is , the powers that be in La. an Miss. can't seem to get it together.
Over on this side we have found out that you can't even start to controll the hog population unless you have a year round program and make it a point to take out the sows as fast as you can. Hogs can only breed and the sows make the piglets . if you can cut down the sows to a low enogh number the boars will move on looking to breed. But ya have to stay on em even to the point that it interferes w/ deer hunting to do any good.
Good luck and welcome to the site. Bob

Hey Doo Dah, that's a mighty fine situation you find yourself in! Good deal, and welcome to the SMF!

 

[alx]

Welcome.Sure wish i lived closer.

 

[doo dah]

Sounds like I'm not only one with a hog problem. You boys in the south can probably help. Since we don't get much winter I need input on curing and smoking. The way I figure it the only way to have constant cool weather for curing is in a frig. Is this totally necessary?

 

[cheapchalee]

DooDah, just look around on this forum, and /or goggle it. There are quite a few sites, look up home curing, dry curing, wet curing. Oh and by the way Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum. Sounds like you will have a lot of pork to smoke for sure!

 

[hoser]

Welcome doo dah...I sure would recomend curing in a frig. You know anybody with a walk-in you might be able to use? You know...you furnish the meat...he furnishes the place to cure. I and a lot of others on here make our own bacon, sausage and lots of other goodies....just take a look around, and I'm sure you'll find some great suggestions.

 

[chefrob]

welcome..........sounds like you have your work cut out for ya!

 

[doo dah]

thanks for the tips fellars. I'm so excited I think I'll go load up some 250 grainers for my .338 and go shoot something.
