Thread: What to do about bone taint

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' ??

The plan for the last pig hunt of the year is to drop the pig off at the home kill place just down the road from where we hunt and get it made into sausages.

Any other times I was planning on boning out as you said.
