+1 on the successful feast!
++1 on using feral hogs for the other guys.
+++1 on using a 7.62X39 SKS, (ball round?), I've taken down several 250 pounders here with those. Head shot, no damage to the meat, just be sure where the round wil exit and end up. Don't want it to hit some neighbor a half mile away.
I now use my 20 gauge with a slug. They drop like a bad habit.
For cooking, since the wife is from NC, I split the hog and bury half in the ground for me, half on a slow grill, (225°) for her. Pulled pork with Eastern North Carolina sauce is really good, but baked in the ground is much better.
The only way to do baked in the ground is to make your bed of coals, then rocks, then wet boards, then more rocks, then more boards, then a layer of canebrake, (it grows along ditches here in Tx), then the half hog, then more rocks, then a big pile of canebrake, then a FEMA tarp over all of it with another layer of canebrake over that. Cook for 36 hours and then uncover slowly. You'll see the heat release and if you do it too fast you'll lose the juices from the meat.
BTW, Goat and Sheep work well this way also, I haven't had a lot of luck doing a 1/4 beef.
Edit
I'm looking for a couple of goats to trim back the big weeds along our fence line. This is the right time of the year to start that and then do a great goat bake in the ground.
If someone wants to contribute a couple, I would be happy to invite and share for up to about 20-30 people!Comment

Sure looks great and I'm sure the whole process as well as the party itself made for one memorable event. Now you need to turn it into an annual tradition!
We had a young engineer in our company back in the late 90's who had apparently learned this whole process from his family. Mario started doing it every year and it was only after I moved up to that department did I get invited.
I gotta tell ya, it was terrific. All the younger guys used to jump in and give him a hand and for the three or four years he was with the company it was a much talked about and much looked forward to event.
Congratulations on your success,
