[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2466907, member: 313"] I've read that freezing dies not kill off harmful bacteria in pig meat. That would be an easy solution since all of my game meat ends up in the freezer for some period of time. I left the quarters, backstraps and loins in a large cooler covered in 4" of ice. Put the cooler on a steep angle and left the drain plug out to allow for the free flow of water and residual blood. Gave it a few days to ice-age and then decided to take care of it before I got busy with other chores which were backing up. Didn't make too big of a deal of things but wore rubber gloves and wrapped all the meat carefully before going into the freezer. Cleaned off everything with Clorox wipes and called it a day. Thanks for all the informative feedback. I've killed boars in several prior years but usually just took the animal to a processor. Reading more and more about potential health issues associated with wild hogs got my attention. Hence, my post. Thanks again everyone. [/QUOTE]
