Haven’t had an issue with home kill bacon until now however this is the first wild porker we have baconed.

Have you thought about asking your butcher ? Even give him a bit to cook and see what he thinks ?

Good idea or if anyone here is close to tokoroa feel free to pick some up and see what you think.

pine pork can suck......maybe just answered your own question.

oh and I got that opinion from founding member of Tokoroa pig hunting club......so its not a new thing with pigs from that area.
