Great hog and great story! Thanks for sharing.  I am surprised he did not have boar taint, but each one is different.

I'm back in my hog stand now where I shot this boar the other day , been a good day so far caught a limit of whitebass this morn had a nap and back after hogs. The in the ground cooking is an old cast iron bathtub we put in the ground up to the lip of the tub many years ago. You just get a bunch of coals down in it then put some sheet iron over them , them put your meat and whatever in it and cover it with more sheet iron. It is just a big oven in the ground so you sit around all day and BS while its cooking and being in the ground it holds heat for a very long time. The ring and washpot were used to make head cheese ( I have never done it ) my father-in-law did it and took a bunch of pics for me ( very cool can't wait to try it ). I will post up those pics when I get home , my father-in-law is a old school guy witch I have more respect for than any man alive..
He has more knowledge about old ways than anyone I know I think y'all will like the pics and results......

Sam,
  Not sure about the head cheese, (had it when I was a kid). Sure looks like a lot of carnitas to me!
