[QUOTE="JimFromTN, post: 1888824, member: 113268"] I have not heard anything good about the taste of javelina. I am not into funky tasting meat. I don't like liver of any kind, nor do I like squirrels or wild duck. They can be made to taste ok by wrapping in bacon and cooking for a long time because they end up tasting like bacon. Bacon can't save liver. I kill several deer a year which I butcher myself for the freezer and I don't hang them because I don't like the taste of a deer that has been hung for a long period of time. I just have never had a funky tasting wild boar. I have only eaten maybe a dozen or so ranging from 80lbs to 250lbs and the only difference that I have noticed between a boar and a sow is that the big boars are tougher but I have only hunted them in the winter and they get gutted and thrown in a cooler within a couple hours of being killed. It's probably the diet. The hogs I have eaten were primarily eating peanuts and corn. Someone on here said something about killing a dozen hogs in south GA and the guide told them they weren't worth eating. The guide was lazy and did not want to deal with them. He didn't want to have to skin and quarter a dozen hogs. South GA hogs eat peanuts and are marbled with fat. At least all of the ones I have encountered are that way. [/QUOTE]
