Shanster:
Nice looking hogs, and a great story. Congrats.

Regrettably, we rarely eat field-shot pork in Northern Australia because of a number of diseases of feral swine which can become debilitating human pathogens. Tuberculosis, brucellosis, kidney-worm, and sparganosis are a few which come to mind. Most pigs are probably clean (we export them to Germany, in fact!), but without proper inspection the risk is considered high. As a result, it is illegal to take field-shot pigs to a butcher-shop, and may even be illegal to do the butchering at home.

Our deer, goats, buff etc are much more user-friendly!

...so enjoy those pork snags, mate. I'm envious!
