[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2440730, member: 30902"] The only boars worth eating really are the younger boars running solo or in small groups with no females along with of course the small guys running with a herd that aren't yet sexually mature. The older they get beyond sexual maturity, the more testosterone they make and if there's a girl around they get really rank in a hurry. You can make some decent sausage out of a mature boar but for most people that's it. That rank "boar smell" permeates the meat so even if you can make it taste decent the smell will be enough for most people to say, "No thanks". Shoot the sows, they taste better and it helps to limit the population. A signle boar can service 30 or more sows per month but only a sow can drop and wean 3 litters of 8 to twelve piglets per year. If you're meat hunting and can identify them start with the largest sow in the herd and work down. You'll get the most meat that way and the farmer gets the most reduction in not just the current herd but in it's future growth and new herds popping up. [/QUOTE]
