My preemptive strike .

[J.W.Neely]

Today I launched my preemptive strike against  the
heathen feral hogs.
Bagged a 225 lb Boar.
One down,  a zillion to go.
 
You know it's tuff having to go shooting every weekend, but someone has to do it.

[Big John Wyatt]

Wish I was closer to lend a hand JW.
I know what a menace them feral hogs can be.
Keep up the good fight ,partner.

May I offer this:

Czech Style Pork and Sauerkraut 

1 shoulder roast, brown roast in 12 inch deep dutch oven or similar size iron pot with lid.  When roast is well seared, remove and brown 2 chopped onions in the drippings.   Replace roast and put 2 cups of water in with the meat.  Replace lid, put in 300 degree oven or add enough coals to the oven to cook at about the same temp.  Cook for 2 hours, Take two 29 1/2 ounce cans or four 12 ounce cans of sauerkraut and mix in 2 tablespoons of caraway seeds and 1/2 cup of brown sugar.  Cover meat and cook another hour at the same temp.   Mix 1 cup mashed or riced potatoes, 1 cup flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder and 2 eggs. 

Remove lid and add 1 cup water with 1/4 cup flour mixed in.  Take the potato/flour/egg mix  and make into dumplings about 1 inch by three inches long and place on top.  Plave the pot on a stove burner or the duch oven on hot coals, bring to a boil and simmer about 15-20 minutes, till dumplings are well cooked.

The brown sugar removes the sour taste that many don't like in sauerkraut, the sauerkraut helps tenderize the meat.

I plan on posting my Czech style sourdough rye bread in The Historal Society in the next couple of days, this will go with this dish real well.

If you make this and the rye bread in South-East Nebraska you could find yourself an Honorary Czech if you ain't a real one!

JW,

If ya need a posse, I am sure we can round up a few Cabs to help!

Seriously, I am looking for a day lease to shoot a couple of does and a few hogs. The larder is getting low. PM me if you know of any places...

[Big Hext Finnigan]

Howdy JW..
For sure, we can come rain down on them hogs for ya..

Hogleg, I'm sending you an email.
Adios,

[El Peludo]

Good on ya', JW.  It always seemed to me that pig huntin' would be a rather enjoyable, if sometimes hazardous, pastime.  Of course all of the hunting I ever did was that way.  And, if ya' have enuf of them varmints that they are pesky and ya' got to thin them out, just that much the better.  Wish I could help.

[Onery Arlys]

Where are you located if close enough i'll help get rid of them for ya i like wild pig meat.  druling at the prospect

[Vin Weasel]

Is there a bounty on them there pigs?

No bounty, but fun to hunt..er..kill.  If a feller can get one in the cool weather and it ain't too big and too rank, they are fine to eat, but in the Summer heat, far from an ice chest or locker, they sometimes become....buzzard bait...." kind of a catch and release hunt"
