[QUOTE="rm76, post: 2242838, member: 2467"] As others have said, I have killed tons of them myself, and any of those cartridges will work. Again, use what you would for deer and you would be good to go! As far as eating them, they are great to eat if you take these two things in mind. Boar meat, even those on the smaller size (except for piglets) will possess the unique taste and smell when cooked, call boar taint. About 75% of the population is sensitive to boar taint but a lucky 25% is not and can enjoy even the boars. Another issue with feral hogs (including both sexes and even the really small ones) is the off-flavor associated with stress. Hogs caught and held in a trap for any lengthy time or those chased and bayed by dogs will often exhibit this off-flavor due to stress. Those hogs (very young and females) shot while free ranging without stress are the best to butcher and eat. [/QUOTE]
