RE: Oink no more

I did search the internet how they look like. They look very wild. Here in Cebu, Philippines, we are famous for the food called lechon. It is an all time favorite esp every fiesta, birthdays, and weddings.

I wonder if you cook these feral pigs this way, if you successfully hunted them. I read in the comments that you cook the young ones, not the old ones.

I have never hunted one in my entire life, and I bet it is very difficult to hunt this one because they look very wild.

Sort:  

They are pretty aggressive when cornered, or when one gets between them and the babies. It makes for interesting times, especially when there's multiple, which is often. They go in every direction so shooters need to have a keen awareness of where they're shooting. That's why there's only ever a few guys there, it wouldn't be good to accidentally shoot each other.

We usually make a stew out of them if we're going to eat one. Potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, salt, pepper, a soup stock and so on...all taken on the trip for just this purpose. It's pretty good, but it has to be the right pig, the old buggers get shot and left where they fall. Usually a few days later, other pigs have cleaned them up. (Eaten them). They are indiscriminate eaters.
