The American South

Helicopter. Rifle. Swamp.
This Is How We Hunt.

Wild boar are an invasive species doing billions of dollars in damage to Southern ecosystems every year. Aerial hunting from helicopters is one of the most effective management tools available — and it puts exceptional, lean, wild-flavored meat on your table.

Invasive. Destructive.
Delicious.

There are an estimated 6–9 million feral hogs in the United States, and the South bears the brunt of the destruction: rooted fields, eroded creek banks, threatened ground-nesting birds. Traditional hunting can't keep up.

Our pilots and marksmen work permitted, licensed operations across Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, and the Florida Panhandle. Every animal is field-processed within hours of the harvest and flash-frozen to preserve peak flavor.

When you order from Swamp Iron Co., you're supporting habitat recovery and getting some of the most honest meat in America.

Recipe

Braised Wild Boar
Short Ribs

Low, slow, and deeply savory. Wild boar short ribs have less intramuscular fat than beef, which means they need a proper long braise to get where they're going — but where they go is worth every hour. Serve over creamy grits or mashed root vegetables.

Ingredients

  • 2.5 lbs wild boar short ribs
  • Kosher salt & cracked black pepper
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil
  • 1 large onion, rough chop
  • 4 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 2 carrots, rough chop
  • 2 stalks celery
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 cup dry red wine
  • 2 cups beef or pork stock
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 sprig rosemary
  • 2 bay leaves

Instructions

  1. Season ribs generously with salt and pepper at least 1 hour before cooking (overnight in the fridge is even better).
  2. Preheat oven to 325°F. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over high heat. Sear ribs on all sides until deep mahogany brown, 3–4 min per side. Work in batches. Set aside.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Add onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook until softened and beginning to brown, about 8 minutes. Add garlic, cook 1 more minute.
  4. Push vegetables aside, add tomato paste to the center of the pot, and cook it in the fat until it darkens slightly, about 2 minutes. Stir into the vegetables.
  5. Deglaze with red wine, scraping up all the fond from the bottom. Simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
  6. Add stock and herbs. Nestle ribs back in — they should be about 2/3 submerged. Bring to a gentle simmer, then cover and transfer to the oven.
  7. Braise for 3 to 3.5 hours, until the meat is tender and yielding but still holding to the bone. Turn ribs once at the halfway point.
  8. Remove ribs carefully. Strain the braising liquid, skim the fat, and reduce on the stovetop until it coats a spoon. Taste and adjust seasoning. Spoon generously over plated ribs.
