I was datin’ me a big ol’ good-lookin’ boy from Dallas once, who was also a big game hunter. Now, he had a friend that, as he non-chalantly put, “Has a little 16,000 acre place outside of Dallas and he wants me to come help him git rid of some wild boar.” It seems the wild boar were quite a nuisance. Apparently, they had dug holes all over his friend’s “little” property and several of his cattle and horses had broken their legs or harmed themselves by accidently steppin’ into those holes.
So, off he went to hunt him down some juicy wild boar pig! I was also hoping there would be enough to fill up my freezer! And, sure enough! He brought me so much meat, I thought I’d never stop datin’ that boy!
Dadgum! My freezer’s gittin’ a little empty. I think I need to find out whatever happened to that good lookin’ Texas boy! In the meantime, enjoy yourself some of these here dee-lish-us wild boar pulled pork sliders!

Pour that mixture over the roast in your slow cooker.
Put the lid on that cooker and cook on high until the roast shreds easily with a fork, 5 to 6 hours. Is this easy, or what?
Remove the roast from the slow cooker, and shred that beautiful meat, using two fork.
