Depends how quickly an individual can get through the process of cleaning an animal.

As long as you're not dilly dallying around, IMO it's never too hot

If you're really worried, cut the hams and backstrap out without gutting (skin starting @ the backbone to get to meat)!
no temp is too hot for this!

This is the fastest way.

You gotta understand that for the last few thousand years of eating hogs, folks didn't have refrigeration. Contrary to many rumors, hog meat doesn't 'spoil' all that quickly. On top of that and regardless of the time of year, the hog is hot. Even in the winter, a hog doesn't cool down all that fast. It takes a while.

Getting your hog on ice sooner is better than later, but unless you are more than a couple of hours drive from even getting to ice, then you are probably just fine regardless of the outside temperature.

Yep

huntsolo on WMA land, ya lurn short-cuts.. First hogs took were 1 1/2 miles as crow flies from truck... First shot, hog went down drt, rest hogs scattered inta switch cain, tried dragging, i weighed 140# back then, could here hogs just 20+yrds away, so gutted ta make lighter ta drag, hogs came back.. 2nd shot, drt rest hogs kept eating, so leaned rifle waved arms, yelling, & moving forward.. Hogs left again, gutted both hogs, dragged lightest as far as could. It dark be this time. Walked back got rifle moved it ta hog, walked back ta big hog, ta cool down. Took 3 drags ta get ta light hog. Took rifle walked ta rest. Went back grabbed lightest dragged ta rifle. Reason gutted was, a lot lighter, trying ta get away from other hogs... Went ta truck, drove ta house ta get back pack.. Called friend, we meet at parking area.. Took 3 of us, if remember right 4 hours ta walk ta hogs, get backstaps & quarters from biggest hog. Took turns draging & backpacking hogs out ta truck... ta friends... Been doing it ever since, no gutting... Except time different buddy & i forgot back pack & used rope had for belt ta drag ... Warmer the weather fast ta ice... Ogh, forgot the ones in boat were son & i used trash bags ta keep body temp down... i forgot the ice chest... Edit: story bout two hogs at dark-thirty, was first year OSBWMA opened ta public...

I shot a pig this morning and it was in my cooler skinned, gutted and cut in half within 39 minutes. I think it is going to be real good.

I was taught to wait for 30 min befor approaching a down hog.

You are saying it only took you 9 min to do the work?
