headed to NC this week for hog hunt. been on my list to-do for years but this will be my first time.

in the event I am successful, how should I have the meat processed? Thinking would like some sausage, and a couple big chunks for the smoker, but not sure if that will take car of it all or not? I don't think there is a ton of yield, but want to have a plan on how to have it processed.

I had a great time reading your story. Very well told. I have hunted hogs in many states and I can say I’ve found nothing to compare to Texas. I love it there. It’s the only place I’ll go to pay to hunt anymore. 26,000 acres of a working ranch with real cowboys. $500 for a day and a half of hunting with 3 meals and accommodations included. We saw Easy 100 hogs and we took 26 between 6 of us. The younger sows made for better table fare for sure. It is worth the trip in my humble opinion. Just sitting around the campfire with the cowboys at night was worth the price for me. There is a walk-in and area to process the hogs but it’s a DIY operation. They helped a lil bit but that’s not their forte so to speak.
