What food sources did they have? Curious because the meat was so good.

Dunno. All I know is they weren't fed. The local foliage was typical central Florida.

As I said, my boad had a bit of game smell to him. But after 3 rinses and several hours soaking in brine, the meat had virtually no smell before I started cooking.

I am going to get a k-31 and I will highly consider a scout scope. Thanks for the informative and entertaining post!

I hunt hogs here in California- Ours feed on everythng from acorns to barley to sugarbeets. I have taken ones that have no fat and others that have an inch of fat on them. It just depends on what they have been eating. I keep the loins whole and have the rest ground into sausage. Italian, Polish and breakfast sausage are the best.

I also have a K-31 and have thought about taking it on a hunt. I reload for it and it shoots great using 168gr BT. Too much fun.

Yup.

The hogs that BIL and I took had very little fat on them.

Sausage sounds good. Jerky, too?
