So I'm all set to head down to Chestnut Hunting Lodge next Thursday morning for a wild boar hunt with two of my uncles. Bags are already packed, rifle (and back up) all ready to roll. I'm a fairly competent cook thanks to a few restaurant jobs during college as well as quite an enjoyment that comes from cooking, but most game processing beyond breaking down a side of beef is new to me. Chestnut takes care of game care down to quartering for us. We plan on asking for one hog to be left whole to cook on a pit. The remaining two will mostly go to sausage and steaks. We have a few large coolers we're bringing down to transport the meat back the 12.5hr drive to CT. Should I invest in game bags (the cheese cloth ones) to put the quarters and the whole hog in before adding ice to the coolers? Is it ok to put the meat right on the ice? Now the primary question in this post: what are everyone's favorite recipes? I'm pretty much open to anything. Really looking for a sausage recipe to make patties and links out of. Thanks to everyone in advance! | ||

A gallon of Italian dressing makes a great marinate..I like to add Catarina dressing and a couple limes...roast till done at about 200 degrees... Hot enough to hold your hand 8-10 inches from coals...for breakfast Sausage I like " old plantation".. plus some extra sage... The wild pork fat may be strong, so I use Bacon ends for added fat... go big or go home ........ DSC-- Life Member NRA--Life member DRSS--9.3x74 r Chapuis | |||

Take the backstrap. Slice it into about 1" thick medallions. Wrap them in bacon. Marinate them in Allegro Marinade for a day or so. Hit them with some Cavendar's and slow grill them. Yummy. LWD | |||

I just put the meat on the ice. I'd put a layer of ice on the bottom, put in some meat, some more ice. Kinda fill in as you go. As the ice melts, just drain the water off and dump in more ice. As long as you keep adding ice, you can do this for quite a while. Just be sure you have the tailgate closed. I lost a cooler out the back of the truck once. LWD | |||

Brandon: It's not the ice against the meat that creates any problems. It's the water that gets on the meat. Main thing is keep the drain plugs opened to drain it off. When you see the ice has melted, just add more and you'll be fine. Out here in CO I like to qtr game when there's snow on the ground. Cut a hunk off & toss it out on the snow to cool. Each time another hunk goes out, I flip the other's over onto fresh snow. Pack the cooler with snow, meat, and snow alternating til full. IT'll keep over a week in temps up to 75 in the sun even. Yeah I know there's no snow down there now. Good luck, and try: www.LEMSinc.com for processing tools and spice's. Great products from a fine company. Best of luck to you.

2 lbs hog steaks or chops 3/4 cup tequila 3/4 cup lime juice 1/4 cup orange juice 1 Tbsp minced garlic Bottled hot sauce (Tabasco, etc.) Kosher salt Black pepper Lay the meat on some paper towel or a lint-free cloth. Pat the meat dry and set it aside. In a glass mixing bowl, whisk the tequila, lime juice and orange juice together. Add the minced garlic and a few splashes of the hot sauce, and whisk again. Finally, add some of the Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper and give it all a good final whisking. Pour some of the marinade into a flat container having a lid. Lay the pork in the marinade, then pour the rest of the marinade over the meat. Close the lid and refrigerate. For stronger marinade flavor, marinade for at least three hours before grilling. For lighter marinade flavor, marinade for 30 minutes before grilling. Oil the grill get it hot. Cook 1/2 on one side then lift and turn the meat 90 deg to get the sear marks in the other direction and finishing cooking that side. Do the same when you flip it to get the nice criss cross pattern on each side. Mike Legistine actu quod scripsi? Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.  What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||
