[QUOTE="skyhightree1, post: 1379006, member: 13268"] Yes it is a forgotten art... I stopped for a few years and am back into it. Basic steps Get you a tub and heat it up constantly checking the water to get to my personal preference of 155 degrees... I also stick oak and hickory ash in the water... don't get the hog worked up place feed out well placed shot lil above inbetween the eyes or sometimes I will kill behind the ear. I have had a 22 end up in a should from a between the eye shot not sure how. Get a good sticking knife to stick it once you shoot it bleed it out put in water I try to keep it at 155 cause soon as you stick the hog in it it cools it down. Once in there work it all around for about 3-4 mins and have a shovel and run across pig to see when hairs coming out good pull it out and start scraping and what I don't get I use a razor sharp knife or a small torch. Edit... if you kill the hog and its pretty muddy I power wash it clean but a hose will do as well. [/QUOTE]
