I shot a hog last night but lost his trail & gave up till morning. We found him and now is he safe to process? He was shot up front behind his front legs. Hunting near Abilene and it was 28 degrees this am. thanks

Perfectly fine. Process like normal and wash the body cavity well. Enjoy, and congratulations.

You want to freeze Hog meat as soon as possible. Looks the the Almighty did that for ya. LOL No worries, It'll be great.

Buddy of mine shot one which we found pretty quick. The other fellas were coming in with several hogs each so we decided to wait till morning to clean the "big" one, she went 250 plus. It was 18 degrees when she was shot and the temp kept dropping over night. Finally got around to cleaning her around 1030 the next morning and found that she had spoiled.

What we didnt know was she had some piglets in her and had put on a ton of fat which kept the body heat in even in sub 20 temps. I cut through about 3 inches of fat before I got to the meat and the smell about knocked me out.

Needless to say she didnt make the processor. The other pigs we opted to clean later were fine but not as fat. Go with your nose but I think it would be fine.

Positive thinking may not solve all your problems but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

You dont really need to wash the body cavity well if you aren't eating anything inside of the body. Unless you plan on eating the ribs.... I dont even gut hogs anymore, no reason too. Hell I dont even skin them really. Just cut the shoulders, straps and hams out leave the rest.
