Michigan is a long way from hog country. It's addicting, chasing hogs. Welcome here.

Welcome! Maybe were too close to Mexico but is a dollar a good deal on a taco up there?
Wild hog meat is very lean, so I suggest cooking it on a lower heat for longer. The critical thing to me, which is also sort of a catch 22 is that hogs carry parasites so u want to make sure it's cooked all the way to temp in the middle without letting it dry out. Basting, marinating, soaking etc before and during cooking help keep it moist as well. Cooking it covered or wrapped in foil helps also.
For a quick and simple recipe I get about 1.5 lbs of quarter meat cut into about 2 oz pieces (or some back strap steaks) in a pan and season it with Lawry's (or your own favorite seasonings) and some brown sugar. Then add BBQ sauce, Italian dressing and a few drops of liquid smoke per serving (a little of that stuff goes a long way). Cover it with foil and bake it on 275 till the meat looks like it's medium well-well done. Goes well with brown rice and kidney beans.

Thanks all, much appreciated! I see lots of night shooting, but I don't have any night vision yet. Are there still plenty of daytime pigs?

Lol. I have a couple game came pics of hogs at dawn and dusk. Last spring my dad had a young boar that was coming out to his feeder an hour before dark. And another one came in a few times at 9 am. It happens sometimes but you're probably a lot better off hunting them at night.

The only day pigs I've seen are ones I've stumbled upon when they have been bedded down for the day. Most of the time they have heard me coming and a good shot is a challenge.
