Nice pig, I bet you both are very excited. Glad to see young guys getting in on the action.

Re: More pork
Just wondering - do you guys attempt to field dress the hogs and take them to meat processor/butcher? Almost always I have snow on the ground this time of year, and can dress and cool down a carcass of whatever before it spoils. How does that work in TX?

Re: More pork
You're starting the boy out right on that .308!
I myself usually just take the little piglets to eat and I don't even process those. Just gut em, take off the head, skin em, and throw the little bastards into a cooler to cut up later. I just leave the larger ones lay for the yotes and coons--that's all they're good for unless you want a skull mount or don't have a steady supply of piglets.
Once you've had slow roasted wild piglet, you'll think the larger boars are tough meat and the farm raised pigs are bland and fat--they are obnoxious but VERY tasty critters!

Well done! How close to Dallas to you hunt?
My place has been flooded the last few months, I can't wait to get back out.
