Just finished our first hog hunt (at 2 Guys and a Hog in Perry, FL - great place, but that's another post).
Hogs were pressure washed, cleaned, skinned, quartered, and packed on ice within 60 minutes of being shot.
We bagged 3 hogs. 1 boar and 2 sows. Two were gut shot, and the guys at 2 Hogs threw those ribs out.
We got back home and I wanted to make some back strap for family and friends. Noticed that the meat smelled kind of funky...like poop. Rinsed back strap really good and put some dry rub on it and smoked it on the grill with apple wood chips. Did same with the ribs from heart shot sow. Back strap turned out okay, but ribs still tasted and smelled...like poop.
We've had the rest of the meat on ice for 2 days, and meat still smells funny.
What can I do? Do you think the meat is good, or bad?
Any suggestions to get the smell out, and make the meat taste good?
This newbie is looking to the experienced pros out there for some help!
Thanks!
