[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2443636, member: 30902"] I've killed literal truckloads of mature and really old boars and found that once they are sexually mature if there's girls to be found at all with or even near them that testosterone smell gets so pervasive no matter how good the meat tastes the odor is so offputting to most folks they simply won't touch it much less eat it. The only exception to that I've found is as I said, turning it into spicy sausage. Sometimes I'll upwards of a hundred per month between my places and the neighbors places I patrol so I've gotten a lot pickier about what I'm going pick up than I was back in my starving college days. I used to haul as many to town as I could to give away but find most folks too lazy to day to even field dress one much less process it. I then started taking them to the local processor and would then donate it to charity until my processing bill started exceeding 12k a year which. I had to cut back so I'm only taking those I consider to be "premium" wild boar out of the field and letting the coyotes and varmints have the rest. It's morally repugnant to me to leave good meat in the field but this isn't about hunting any more, it's just extermination for the most part. [/QUOTE]
