Potentially interested in doing this with small/medium wild hogs we shoot in effort to utilize them best without using a processor.
Thanks!

You've gotta scald shortly after he dies, or the hair sets and wont pull out.
My great and grand parents would have a syrup kettle over a fire, and boil fat lighter chunks to release the rosin then use their hands to pull the hair. It's messy, nasty, and labor intensive. Charlie Horse's crowd put the pig on a table and covered it with towels and would pour hot water over the pig and then you pull. Any hair that was missed and set, a big guy with a blow torch would "swinge" it off.
