Thread: Wild pork, any good for ham?

The right pig will make good bacon and ham, you just need to keep shooting them till you find it.
Wild pork is often too lean to do either you need a fat one. The skin can also be thicker and a lot hairier and I've never succeeded in getting crackling on wild pork.
Diet is the main contributer to taste though and that is where the lottery is the smell of the stomach cavity use as a guide. Pretty easy to know who's been eating dead animals or porina compared to fern root and worms.
