Speaking of critters, bacon and pork chops, I have a friend who flies with me that made an offhand statement back in October of this year, saying he was going to go razor back hunting. The pig population here has exploded and they are both mean and destructive, so it's open season on them. Well, I just made some statement to blow him off, something like bring me a good piece of pork when you get one. To make a long story short, about a week later he shows up at my house carrying a plastic bag with a full hind quarter in it. He had done just what he said he was going to do. He killed two that day, a mother and a young 'un. I smoked that hind quarter and it was one of the tastiest pieces of meat I have had for a long time. We even put what was left in a crock pot with some BBQ sauce and had some pulled pork the next day. If you haven't eaten wild pig, I highly recommend it. Even my granddaughters, who hate pork, loved this stuff.

However, two weeks later I had the heart attack that put me in the hospital for 60 days, so maybe it wasn't as good as I thought.
