So it seems that this month Hogs are the main course. Just wondering what you guys that get multiple kills throughout the year do with all that bacon? Do you keep the whole critter?
Use most everything but the oink!. Well, not really but do pull hams, shoulders, backstraps, ribs, neck meat. Slow cook most of it in a crock pot. Its good eating if its not from to big a pig. The bigger boars, I personally let em walk but you can grind em all up with enough spices to cover up the musky taste.
I mostly only shoot the smaller ones, say 40#-100#. On those I just cut them in half right down the backbone and cook the halves on the BBQ. It is REALLY good. On the bigger hogs I quarter them and cook them on the pit.

Sausage and pork chops man. My children AND my wife love them both!!!!!!!
Smoke some rear leg roasts, grind lots for burgers and spaghetti sauce. Usually do a boneless roast or two with backstraps in the middle. There is no bacon on a wild hog.
