RE: Feral Hog Hunting

Definately!

While parasites are a concern, we generally wait until its quite cold to hunt them.

The cold weather normally will kill the old, weak, sick or diseased hogs.

When smoking them, we'll keep them in the smoker 6-8 hours. This brings the core temperature well above that required to eliminate parasites.

We don't seem to have parasite problems in our part of Oklahoma, but better safe than sorry!

A wise sentiment.
