Tony, et al,
I hunted them all my youth...soon as Momma kicked them outa the den, Grandma would push me to pop a few fat young'uns to cook up.
Once I shot a big ole sow mid summer... (not with a bow) and on the bathroom scale, it weighed 27#.
I got off a 4 qt pale of fat as I skinned it. Their fat smells just like Vitamin E... having used vit e to heal cuts, it's an unforgetable smell.
Second, on that big ole sow, I found these grissly nodules of smelly stuff (glands) under each arm and leg (4) and then, 2 such grey uglies between the shoulder blades...
We par-boiled that slow with some spices, then breaded it and baked it like "Shake-n-bake" ("...and I helped", if you're old enough to remember that commercial)
biggie for me was to look for and use a separate knife to remove those "glands"... sure made a far better eating meal!
And yeah, we ate that old sow, too... and done slow and moist, living on alfalfa hay forever, not at all bad victuals!
