[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 514499, member: 2736"] +1 The reason most hunters in the south don't eat the larger hogs is because of the heat. During the summer months the larger hogs have lots of parasites under the skin and some in the intestines. The smaller hogs dont seem to have this problem as much and the ones that do can be seen during skinning. Back when they were not as plentiful they were trapped and the large ones were castrated and fed corn and Lye water up to 8 weeks to mellow the meat and kill the parasites. Now there are so many we need to kill everyone that we see and sort out the ones that we want to eat and let the other ones lay. Large Hogs will eat anything even carrion hence the smell and the bad taste. I was brought up eating everything I killed and still follow this logic. (But not on Hogs). J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
