I went to Hunt n shoot ranch on sunday along with 3 buddies. This is a bowhunting ranch only and we all managed to take good hogs I brought home 2 but wounded one after a high shot at 15 yards im shooting a pse bruin whisker bisquit cobra sites and tru fire release along with carbon express wolverines with a muzzy 3 blade broadhead i had complete pass throughs with my bow set at 55 lbs. my first hog was from a stand and weighed about 25 lbs after a 25 yard search i found my pig while searching for this hog i came across several other hogs but decided to wait until i recover this one after i recovered the young sow i stalked back to a feeder and seen a nice 125 lb sow feeding i crawled to within 15 yards and hit her right between the shoulders, after a 70 yard chase i found her. i went to my feeder after a break and some shooting with my friends i was at a feeder when about 20 hogs came in i shot high dropping the boar in his tracks but he got up and ran off. Andrew my hunting buddy shot one with a 58 inch longbow which was awesome and 2 other friends took 2 nice hogs a piece. we will be going back. i have pictures but cannmot post on hunt 101.com

I'd be interested in the recipe.

Its real easy- for 10 lbs of meat i use about 15-20 fresh jalipenas (depends on how hot they are) take the seeds out and dice fine. I use latex gloves to do this. Add 4 Tbs. Kosher salt, 2 Tbs. ground fresh black pepper, 2 Tbs. granulated sugar and 1 lb of shredded sharp chedder. You will love this sausage! I also buy pork fat from the butcher and mix while grinding at about 15 to 20 %.( 1 1/2 to 2 lbs in 10)- Yummy. I stuff mine in hog casings from the butcher, but it is also great in pattys. A guy i know made me some from a hog i killed, but wouldnt give me the recipe so i came up with this one and it is VERY close- works great. Good eats- Tad
