Harkness I’m not sure I would trust the safety of wild hog biltong. The wild hogs may have more parasites than domestic hogs or beef. That is why I freeze it to -10 for at least 2 months before still cooking it to at least 165 degrees before consuming it.
Wild Game Goodness

Stuffed, smoked and froze over 200 lbs of wild game goodness this past weekend. Great products espically the pig casings!

Austin how long will the Tubed hog casings stay fresh if kept in original packaging? I opened them and used 1/2 of them, but want to make more. Thanks

rmcreath51 If you seal them back up and put them in the fridge, they can last up to a year or so. Just make sure the seal is really good, or double bag them, so you don’t get the smell of casings creeping into the rest of your fridge and food…
If you really need a longer shelf life, you can freeze them, but I typically recommend against freezing casings as you can make them more brittle and prone to breakage the next time you use them.
