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

Soviet 22, The weather is getting warmer so whipping the wheels of a pig and stashing them in a pack without cooling may turnout to produce a very Un-cool result !
Field dressing and getting air through it would be best.
What if you get a cracking young boar or maiden sow of 60-70 lb ? It would be sacrilege to sausage the lot, and I would recommend that you be banned from the forum and publicly flogged if you did that right before Xmas when some choice roasts could be handy or even a wild pork ham which is always much better than the farmed stuff.

Have you been taught how to cleanly gut ??? It is important to know what you are doing. In the past a lot of blokes were trained at the freezing works and then they taught their mates. This doesn't happen much now so put your hand up, there are plenty of experienced blokes on the forum who would be pleased to help if asked.
