Friday Nite before opening Morning , We have a big Fish Fry at camp.
This year we did 30 lbs of Catfish filets, 15 lbs of Frog Legs. Also mass
quanities of French fries, hush puppies, onion rings and batter jalapeno
poppers. As usual the food was delicious.

The pig comes out after 6 hours.

Field dressed 200 lbs. It was a cut Boar, gonna be some GOOD eats.
The Smoke Pistol turned that Cajun Microwave into a different cooker.
The pig was Fantastic!
Good food and good times.
That boar should be a lotta fun, CRG!.
Welcome back to civilization.
Nice job CRG on all accounts!!
The hog looks fantastic!! I lUV whole roasted hog, pretty hard to beat.
The inverted hog looks like a nice score as well, I have only had wild boar once but really enjoyed it.
What does "cut" bore mean, please excuse me , I'm a little "new".
Glad you had a good hunt a everyone returned safely!

Boar hogs in the wild get a shield plate that makes their meat "non-good" eats.
This boar was trapped at an early age and had his Man-Hood removed and then released.
They mark the pig by cutting off the tail and notching or cutting half of one ear off.
Dang, the pig looks so good and those turnips and collard greens.
That was the best pig we have had and that smoke pistol did a great job.
The smoke was the difference.

Reminds me of my brother in law.
Glad the smoke pistol was all you hoped it would be.
As for cutting a pig ear and other parts..sounds like a crazy artist many many years ago
Glad I'm not a pig ... uh ... wild boar.
Been called a pig many times, as in "you Pig !"
Dang CRG. Every time I read one of your posts I think "man, I wish I could walk a mile in your shoes". Or at least get to sample some of what ever it is your making. As alway, looks good!
Nice boar.
Save the belly for some boar bacon!
That "Shot" may have ended my Hunting season.
Going to Doc in morning for some stronger meds.
It's h*ll to get old.
Deer camp 2010 looked fun!
Sorry to hear you're hurting after that shot. Try a shot (or 4) of something like Patron. Maybe it will help? ;D
Hair of the dog (or pig) ... a shot for a shot, and no dilution.

That might have been my problem.
Maybe I was "TOO" relaxed when I shot. ;D
Gonna hang on the edge of the wagon for awhile.
Only "cooking" I did this week end was the Bread.
I was on strike!
Cotizone shot did not help the shoulder?
Maybe you need to switch to a crossbow next time..

It's hard to shoot a crossbow 158 yards.

You guys wouldn't like our shotgun season here... No rifles allowed.

That's why I live in Texas.
Son's Deer was a decent 8 pt, but a guy did shoot a 11 pt with a 21 and 1/2 inch spread.
It was a monster for East Texas.
Wow!
Dang Sonny, sorry to hear you messed up that shoulder again. Loving that HICKORY smoked hog though. ;)

Bodies are like cars - age or mileage, whichever comes first. In your case, it's not the age, it's the mileage. ;) ;)

I feel like I have been rode hard and put up wet! ;D
I'll get better ......... I hope.
It won't get better CRG...... You'll just get another pain somewhere else that will take your mind off the most recent one.
Sorry to hear about your shoulder, but just think what it would be like if you hunt boars like STC. ;D Oh by the way, how many times did you shoot this your hog?

Once, right behind the ear.
Dropped in it's tracks.
HMMM... do you give lessons? I happen to know someone....... just kidding. :D :D :D
WOW... Pig looks Grrrrrrrrrrreat!

Up till this year the cajun microwave just roast the pig.
With the smoke, I think it was the best pig we have had.

Looks like it DRANK UP some smoke! Awsome.
Next time we do it, I will put a diverter shield to send the smoke down instead of straight into the pig.
There was a section in the side of the pig that it made smoke jerky out of it.
Glad you posted about the smoke pistol, I'd never seen that before. I searched it up and it sounds useful.
Also searched back through these forums for it and found Caneyscud referencing it with something called a Smoke Daddy. The smoke daddy lets you use any wood fuel you want, and can get into chip/pellet (small enough) form. There is also a DIY version of the smoke daddy on the instructables site. The drawback seems to be that the smoke daddy's combustion chamber is aluminum and could release aluminum oxides into the food...
Do you guys know of other smoke generators like these?
Also, why did you pick the pistol over the daddy for the redneck cajun hog microwave?
Thanks!
Glad you had a great time. Food looks fantastic. I miss the good old days of a deer camp.

I don't think you have to worry about the release of aluminum oxide (aka alumina) from the smoke daddy. Alumina is a very durable, inert, and a nonvolatile ceramic.
Looks like you had a great time and ate really good! The pig looks great! Congrats on your son's first deer!
Not Bad for a Beginner!! ;D So I am guessing I will be getting a call on how to make your own Hams. That's a nice looking barrow and at 200lbs he should have some decent hams on him.

I let him shoot so He can do all the work.
Then I eat his Deer. ;D

My boys were Young when I got on this lease and they have grown up Hunting there.
That Camp is like the Forum (most of the Time).
Son's became Jr Members at the age of 11. This Son is 26 now. He killed he first Deer at 8.
And cleaned his first Deer at 8. ;D Daddy is a mean guy.
QuoteDaddy is a mean guy.
Some would say daddy's a smart guy....
