[QUOTE="excat, post: 2198446, member: 29449"] I know guys that will just cook it and not worry about it, but rabies and others diseases do exist. Growing up in BFE, I saw plenty rabies stricken animals, and pigs eat anything. I was told you can have the meat tested if you take it to a butcher, but I never looked into it. I should be going on my first hog hunt in the next few months, and it's something I've pondered myself and asked a lot of my friends that hunt them and eat it. As far her contracting something, just don't get bit (rabies is passed through saliva into an open wound), and when field dressing, wear gloves and you should be fine. Personally, if the animal looked diseased to me, I would just leave it lie. Hope some other's chime in, this is something I'm interested in as well from more experienced hunters on how they approach this. I've wondered on the testing part of it,and if anyone does have their meat tested. (P.S. - Carry a side arm is advice I got told all the time in case you get charged up close in brush.) [/QUOTE]
