They are fun animal to hunt with a bow! Even I can sneak in close to them. Just have to watch the wind. They get a bad rap for their scent gland but their meat is just fine. I have made pastrami out of their back straps, turned hind quarters into ham and countless pounds of chorizo, breakfast and Italian sausage.

They are no matter what, stinky as shite! Somehow I always forget just how stinky they are until I get another one and then realize I have to carry that fooker and then everything that touched it stinks to high heaven until you wash it Most I’ve ever made out of them is chorizo. Way back we had someone that would do tamales for us. A friend does pretty good sloppy joes out of it.

I love hunting them. They taste fine, just skin them carefully to pull off the musk gland.

I got a big one this year:

If you skin close to the flesh at the spine and don’t hack at the skin you won’t even notice or even need to worry about the gland.

My daughter killed this one. Her first kill. It was an exciting hunt

They are tasty. We smoked this one. Delicious

If you have time to post your recipe we would appreciate it. I have my sons in the freezer waiting for me to attempt chorizo.

They have to be one of the best critters for little kids and we appreciate the opportunity New Mexico offers for them.

The easy button is use AC Legg chorizo. Add the vinegar, it’s what makes it Mexican chorizo. You can add more or less to preference. Cook up a pinch or two, taste and adjust. I add 25% or so of pork shoulder or pork belly to it. Some add additional oil but we never did. We used to do our own spice mix. What made it great was fresh chile powder out of Hatch I’d pick up when I traveled through. I’ll see if I can dig out my old recipe.

I know this thread is a little stale, but anybody gettin after the stink pigs this year? I’m getting fired up to head out for the first time this year on Friday. And I can now publicly admit how much I love hunting them since they’ve been blessed by B&C.

I arrowed one opening day here in AZ. They've been in their usual spots year round.

 

[WyldGoose]

I also drew end of Feb.

Had this one on my front porch the other day. He chewed up some weed mat and took a piss. I told him I’d see him in month…

Our group are all finished up on archery tags. Fresh chorizo is packed in the freezers!
