This may hurt, but from what I read from last years gathering, Ya'll might want to be thinking chicken from Walmart.

I took it easy on them last year. This year its going to be on!!
 
Wild hogs cook fast and dry out quickly. Ive ruined some thinking slow and low like a market hog. Went check after a few hours and it was jerky! They just don’t have the marbling.

Smoke it till the smoke is gone then wrap tight in foil and slow cook for several hours

^ That pork was from saddlepalooza

When you pull the meat then put it back into its juices and let it soak it back up. It’s good

I’ve had it come out good before. It’s just different. I had it wrapped up and going and someone wanted to check out what I had going on. I said it will be a while until it’s done be I’ll go show you. Unwrapped the foil and it was done! Good think we went check it. Lol

Did you cook it until it reached a certain internal temp? That looks great, but I have never been able to get it to pull. Always to tough so I will slice and then chop to throw it in a crock pot to simmer in some good BBQ sauce. I usually cook until Internal temp says 180 which sounds like it’s way to long. The pic is of a bone in hindquarter I cooked on Fathers Day.

When I fire up the smoker for pulled pork shoulder, I always let it go to195*, falls apart every time. Usually takes me about 5 hrs, with a 1 hour rest wrapped up and in a cooler to keep it hot.

Are you talking about wild hog, or domestic? That’s what I do with a domestic pork butt, but wild hog is much leaner and more similar to deer than anything else. If you cook wild hog that long it will dry out.

I don’t think I kept the temp. Probably had the smoker around 250 or so. Smoked the meat till the smoke was gone and then put the meat in a baking pan and covered tightly with aluminum foil and let it cook for several hours. It came out falling off the bone, it pulled easily and then I let it soak up its own juices.

195....dang.....Pork is safe at 140-145.

Yes, but if you’re cooking a domestic pork butt and want to do pulled pork then running it up to a higher Temp makes it just fall apart. It will fall off the shoulder blade and it feels like warm butter if you stick it with a knife or fork.

That looks great! I use a pellet Grill so the smoke doesn’t stop unless I stop it. I am going to cook another hindquarter this weekend so I will pull it off much sooner and try it your way. Thanks for the tip!

Domestic. Never had the chance on wild. Makes sense, doubt there is much fat on them. Wish I had access to some hogs. They look to be fun to

Texas governor just signed a bill into law (effective in September) that you don’t even need a license to hunt pigs anymore.
