Wild hog ham sections
«

Went on a thermal hog hunt last week and brought back the quartered sections from a nice one about 80lbs. It was quartered in the field so all I got from it was 2 ham sections, 2 picnics from the fronts and the loins/backstraps. I know what I want to do with the loin but its the other sections I'm unsure about. It looks like the hams have some really good meat on them and was wondering what some of you have done with them. I'm not really interested in doing sausage with it ...yet. Wanted to try something else first. Any suggestions?

Why not brine them and turn them into hams? Or, you could simply rub them and smoke them like a pork butt. Picnics are best sliced, imo. Smoke to 175 and slice it for sandwiches.

I think making hams is an awesome idea especially for picnics which as Tony said are the best for slicing.
Let us know how this goes.

Can't wait to hear how they turn out, Danny! The picnic cuts should be outstanding as hams!
