DIY How to process a Wild Hog 

We really appreciate you and your family and what you do for Florida, hunting, and conservation.

I've been hunting almost all my life, until 15 yrs ago I thought everyone lived this life. My dad and uncle showed me. Great instructions and nothing has changed, a sharp knife and a little experience or as a kid someone showing how. Awesome video this will serve the rookies well and well done sir.

Going on my first hunt ever next month. Florida hog hunting for a Spanish boar. I never had anyone to teach me to hunt, watching you take your own game and process it has really motivated me and I look forward to filling my freezer with meat and learning skills I can pass down to my future children. Keep doing what you do!

I love it when you can show skinning animals.l learn things from you and how different animals are humanely killed.l love these videos in spite of what you tube thinks.

Growing up and living on Long Island I've never been exposed first hand to this type of lifestyle firsthand. Even though I never want to kill a animal myself I do respect and understand it. I can imagine the satisfaction of goin out there and harvesting from the world for yourself. As a society we loose sight of what it means to actually provide for ourselves without the luxury of modern age commodities. So cool seeing all that delicious meat piled up, and knowing the price of those cuts in the store. There seams to be very little wasted meat as well. I dig it.

Watching you process meat is like watching Bob Ross paint. Very relaxing.

Catching up on your older content, and found this early video... The best part is that this information is timeless...! Always learning from your channel, and the point you make regarding sustenance and game management is large in my book! My Daddy taught us (my brother and I) to be reverent and not wasteful. Thanks for all you do!

Any good man knows how to feed his family the right way. Country life will always be the best way of life.

I usually don't watch animals and what not being in such a way, but as far as learning about what we eat and how it is all done, this is very rich content.

Keep it up guys. Nothing beats the good ol American way. Dad raised me hunting, fishin, and butchering our own meet. Wouldn't have it any other way. God bless !

I haven’t processed hogs since I was very young. I unfortunately have become very citified since and have forgotten most of what I had learned growing up. Being here in Texas I don’t have access to affordable hog hunts so I am purchasing coal hogs from a breeder to process. I used your video as a refresher course and I love how you skin and joint your hogs with nothing but a knife. No reciprocating saw needed! I love it! Thanks for the info keep it coming

This is such an education. Thank you for putting these out, your level of expertise, and your balanced and even-handedness as well as ethical treatment of these animals.

Man that's absolutely stunning, one pig equals one fine and dandy bbq.

it's so incredible that this wild hogs are reproducing so rapidly and wildly through the state's. that's like $1000 bucks worth of free meat just on that one hog, I be BBQing every weekend and Monday football night if I was living close to them. bacon every mornin and ham every night.

I enjoyed your show about hog hunting and cutting up the hog. During the depression my father, who passed away in 1979, butchered and delivered or peddled meat in our local town of Waynesboro Pa. to pay bills. Before Dad passed away I had him teach me how to butcher the old fashion way of scalding them to remove the hair, making pudding, sausages, scrape, and pig feet jelly which is very tasty. Your way is much faster but some tasty thing are missing. I have hunted hog in Texas and in Florida but the hogs I killed in Florida were not as good to eat as the hogs from Texas. I hunted with Tiger Island Outfitters with whom I was disappointed greatly. It was not fair chase but pinned hogs and I never went back.

The dogs are thinking " I'm gonna quit chewing on the furniture, starting right now!" *smile*

Enjoyed your comment at the end of your video...plain and simple.. living life as God intended it to be..Enjoyed this very much... Jim👍

Ha ha the cooler has 2/3 space for beer 1/3 for the meat, priorities.

Robert, watching you process that hog was somehow very relaxing. No wasted movements, no wasted cuts. Simple, direct deboning. No fancy cuts...no chops, no butterflies....just nice edible chunks of tasty God provided nourishment. I agree with you on high carbon steel knives. I prefer a knife that will take and hold a razor edge for a longer time over one that does not rust. A bit of oil after each use will solve the problem. Stainless steel has it's place, but not in a knife that is going to be counted on for holding a good sharp edge.

New to youtube. Just found your channel. Great. A little tip, though. Instead of "Pam" or any other cooking oil , use a block oil. It's a food grade oil for preserving butcher blocks, cutting boards and wood knife handles. Any cooking oil can turn rancid. God bless.

Hunting is essential to mans continued survival. I have never been a part of a hunt, I'm not sure if I could kill an animal but if I had to I think I could put my feelings aside and do it. Respect for the animal for giving up its life your nourishment is key to hunting as well. If you don't respect the animal then you have no have no right to hunt. Great video, I'm a new subscriber, much respect to you and yours.

I would rather watch your channel than anything on TV. Keep um' real and keep um' coming!

I'm a Black dude from Brooklyn NY. i would love to experience your lifestyle. I can hear the passion in your delivery at the end..good stuff ..

I've been hunting and processing hogs for over thirty years down in loxahatchee and okeechobee florida you sir have just made it easier by sharing your video. Now I'll admit most times I'll field dress the hog get it home and my wife will quarter it out same with our deer. And it's not that I didn't know how but it can be a.pain in the butt My wife does it on a 4'×4' table in the garage. Now I built a hoist out of 4×4s and added two hooks pretty much can had the animal same as your setup. And now I just back my truck up hook um up behind their tendons at get to work. So thanks wife is happy and I'm a better man because of it..

That dog is freaking out in the background lol.

It's been a long time since I've hunted, RUSTY, vids like this inspire me to move to the country.

I don't hunt I just harvest what I need off the farm wild or domestic. That being said that was that slickest skinning and deboning I've seen. Thanks

That’s where food comes from! A majority of Americans think meat comes from the grocery store and not from the hoof. You are very blessed Sir. Keep up the good work.

That window trick was too cool--never knew about that!

I would love to live where you live and do what you do. Seems to me to be a real honest living in a great country. If I ever get to the US, I'm going to look you up.

I love how your are so devoted to your faith... with the bud light in the cooler ... my dude!!

Normally I dont watch a video without forwarding it many times.... But this time, from start to finish, I didn't do it. Was amazed at the skill set of the man... Watching content like this wakes up the man in you

been a butcher for 18 years. outstanding processing skills! great video!

That WAS awesome! I haven't had fresh hog since I was a kid, I have also never hunted before. I am doing research so I can go out and take my kids out. I feel that they are missing out on that kind of life and I want them to have those skill and experiences. I just found this channel, I hope I find the video were you take out the innards. It would be cool to see a video of straight from the hunt to quarter to grill as the meat is coming off the bone. (would be even better to be there for it.) Thanks for keeping that way of life alive.

Fantastic, it's people like yourself that show city folks like myself, what it's like being in the country doing what our ancestors did while they crossed the country good going bro.

That was totally awesome, the knowledge you have in harvesting these hogs is truly amazing. Thank you for sharing your skills.

I love your videos! especially the ones about fishing because I am a 14 year old addicted to fishing. thank you and Sarah for making these videos!

Dude I am a subscriber for life just because of your attitude.

My son in law is the hunter in our family.Your video inspired me to ask him to butcher some game with him.

Why do these videos relax me so much?

Thumbs up - from Germany - Bavaria. We do the same here, just hunt, process and enjoy wild meat. The best you can ever have in meat and live.

Your Butchering Skills are awesome !!!! Thank you for sharing .

Thank you for putting this video together, it's going to help me when I go on my first hog hunt.

That shot of the cooler at 11:58 put a sincere smile on my face.

If you were to start doing daily vlogs on top of all these other great videos I would watch them, anyone else agree?

When you make these video's about skinning and quatering meat it's a great learning toil for me

Wow! You just sold me with your honesty and sincerity man. We don't have wild hogs here in Newfoundland, but I'd sure like to do some hunting with you guys one day.

Very well done! Simple and to the point. I would like to see a video on how to cure the hams whole if you do another hog in the future. You’re a wealth of information! Keep up the good work!!!

you process your meat the same as we do... we use all the animal, we got into making bone broth this year and it rocks... greeting from nc tim

Its hard for me to hunt. My physical limitations make it very hard to do it. I get so much enjoyment watching people who are able body, hunt. I will be doing my first deer hunt this year since 2003. I have a dear friend who is going above and beyond to help. Hunting is soooo much more then just killing an animal. Its a way of life and absolute respect for the animal and nature. Its about the good times spent with love ones and friends. Memories made while hunting/fishing are life time memories. This channel IS a representation of everything GOOD and PURE about hunting. As always my friend, keep rockin it.

So took a shot at my first hog yesterday. Approx 300yds. and managed to miss him. He squealed and ran but no blood. That being said, knew I better check out one of your videos on processing a wild hog. That trick with using the window to keep ur knife sharp is slick. I know this ones and old video but keep up the good work.

I come from a family of hunters and providers. Including ranching an farming. And what you just did in this video is just amazing. Hats off to you. Incredible skills you have. Keep up the great work.👍

A common mistake people make is not getting that hide off fast enough. It's like having a dirty wet sock tainting your meat.

You are surgical bro. Great video. I wouldn't mind seeing more hunting/fishing and processing different game like this one

A suggestion:- Cut some of the belly pork into decent slices. Place into a bowl and cover with cider Leave overnight Drain the cider off and use it to make sage & onion stuffing Place stuffing into an over-proof dish Lay the belly strips on top and place into a medium to high oven. Serve with tatties and gravy.

NICE DOGS!! -Especially that Australian Shepherd! They are all very well behaved. I once cured the hams from one of the wild hogs that I shot...I used honey with a heavy dose of salt with a little water. I soaked both hams from that hog in the refrigerator for about five days before cooking them. They turned pink and ended up making great sandwich meat.

I really enjoyed the speech at the end about why you hunt. I think its beautiful, almost in tune with nature. you hunt to provide food for the family, its good for you, and helps a conservation-like activitiy by minimizing the spread and growth of the species into human territory and damaging people's crops/lands/houses/property. win/win.

Elk is my favorite wild game, awesome vids man

Random story, but I took my sons to visit Granny in Scotland this summer and she was talking about how before the myxomatosis epidemic in the 60's, it was totally normal for kids to hunt rabbits on the way to school and back, just to bring some extra bonus meat to the family. Kids would use snares, slingshots, stones, whatever. Kinda like feral hogs in the USA today.

I've never hunted but I really want my first hunt to be a boar kill. I live in Texas and they're apparently rampant here. I have no qualms about killing organic wild boar. Great video, subscribed. Caseylavere was the one to introduce me into hunting, your channel seems to provide some great info besides the hunt.

SHOW THE CLEANING OF ALL YOUR HUNTING KILLS. We like seeing the whole process. THANX MAN.

I loved this video.... we've family in central Florida. try go as often as we can. we got plenty hogs here in Texas too. the way you processed that hog was a thing of beauty.I commited that to memory.

Learn something new everyday & now I know how to clean a hog. I've worked in smaller slaughterhouses for years but it was mostly just killing & getting them.

As many sammich bags you go thru, someone needs to make you a portable vaccum sealer lol

there's ten hogs always running through my yard. I watched this to learn cause I'm going to make some hog jerky

I'm from the city and don't know dick about hunting, but I have such and appreciation for people that can go out and make their own way.

I would love to come visit you and hunt a pig when I get back from Afghanistan! I live in Central Florida myself and grew up in the Army where I was able to hunt wherever I was stationed. Alabama was the best hog hunting I ever experienced. I liked your show and plan to watch wherever I can. Thanks!

The crane sure beats cleaning them in the bed of the truck like I get stuck doing.

thank for the tutorial on putting meat on my table

You put out so many high quality informative videos I just wanted to say thank you. You are truly blessed man and I wish you and yours more blessings.

“Get His Goods”… Poor Thing 🤣 You did everything fast, Great Video

This would be a great Gillette commercial

very nice video and if you could show how you cook em right after cleaning...thanks

Great video. I am a hunter and have never seen a hog prepped. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Rob, I love watching your how to videos. Some videos that others produce leave me not wanting to eat what was processed. I love the way you keep hair and other contaminates out of the meat. Keep living the good life.

I'm a muslim girl , i can not eat hog meat but i like the way you hunted it :)

A cooler filled with meat and beer makes everything better lol. Awesome job but I'm still jealous of your knives, I really need to get me a set.

On the first kudu hunt I was introduced to the puffadder. The last bit of the rectum was nice and fatty and the liver was chopped up with an onion and grilled on the coals like a fat sausage. Absolutely delicious. It looks like a puffadder snake

I am experienced pig hunter and I still learned few tips from you butchering that hog. Awesome. Thanks

Can you make bacon from a wild hog, or are the not big/fat enough? If so could you do a wild hog bacon video?

I've watched this video 4 or 5 times now and EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. my mouth starts watering for some pork. Got a friend who just got permission for us to hunt some land that has a bunch of hogs. Any advice on processing it during warm months? You're in FL right? So you deal with that all the time.

Wow! This channel has such variety of hunting, clean and cook. Truly a great channel

The dog is thinking: "Does this guy know I'm standing right here"?? Nice work sir! I just spent 4 days in a large city...nothing but business dressed yuppies and cell phones...good people, but I am glad to be home back among the cows and rivers! Cheers :)

good job, dude. God bless you. Stay faithful and fight the good fight of faith!

I wish I was much younger and knew about this way of life. Love your channel and I am looking forward to killing, processing, my own food. Thank you for sharing this information with us. I know I can't do it, if I follow what you have shown us.

Ooh what a waste of pork bones! Here in New Zealand that part of the pork is highly preferred to the rest. It is usually broken up and cooked with potatoes, cabbage, carrots young marrows salt and pepper to taste. Great video this type of hunting is very popular. Thank you for a most informative video and keep up the good work.

Just learning how to break down a hog is life skill can't go wrong with free pork keep doing your thing man love the channel

I want to experience hunting a hog in your ranch bro. Dont throw the bones we can still cook 3 menus fot that😉

Doing what the good lord wants.

Never processed anything myself but I’m going hog hunting at a buddy’s ranch and I can’t let good meat go to waste. I’ll let y’all know how it goes. Thanks so much for the video.

Not a hunter, though I understand the need / attraction if for land management and for food. Your channel is awesome and you sir, are outstanding in teaching the reason for hunting.

I am british just got some wild boar meat omfg its amazing twice as tastyer then a normal burger its like the most juicy tasty beef burger in the world its so good omg omg grabbing another one of my grill well worth the price settles nice in my stomach god bless america

do you let people hunt on your land?

I am reminded of back in 2007, my friend, John, who hunted in Oklahoma, brought me a hog carcass, skinned. And I had to break the back to fit the whole thing in my Char-Griller grill with side firebox (that I still have and use. I smoke a brisket that is just delicious.) And I smoked that hog for 12 hours with some pork rub and mesquite logs. And I took it to work. Absolutely delicious. I had not thought of rendering off the carcass. Just cooked it whole and you eat off of it, hawaiian style, I guess.

I want that life , shooting ,fishing cooking, man enjoy and thank you for these mini films. From ENGLAND.

Dude, get a steel to hone your knives - it's a lot cheaper than replacing a truck window.

Ugh! All I wanna do is throw that meat on a smoker with some cherry and pecan wood and tear into it with some friends and family. 🤤

My first time here, I live on the Eastern side of Florida and been wanting to hunt, process and cook wild hog. Thanks for the post. Looking 4wards to booking a hunt with yawl.

Oh wow. Such an amazing show of pride and workmanship. Take a problem and turn it into a meal. This California boy is truly impressed.

I've worked for a professional butcher, but I've never seen one dressed out with just a knife. Thanks for the video!
