Everything he gave me had bone taint.

Interestingly enough the goats I shot and carried out were completely fine.

Good on you. With gut shot pigs, as I have said before an option is to cut the legs off. Another option if it is more practical is to drag / carry the whole animal out, is to roughly gut the pig and then cut the legs and saddle meat off at home. Avoiding / trimming off the meat that is connected to the peritoneal ( gut ) cavity. I have never had an issue with a pig that has been shot in the liver or guts suffering from meat contaminated from the hydraulic shock, but I have only shot about 500 so I am just a beginner.
The next question is 'have you been taught how to cleanly gut' ??
