[QUOTE="DDB TX, post: 2982764, member: 64182"] I have had the same experience. Big old boars taste fine but smell bad, and cleaning a wild pig that has been gut shot is really unpleasant. My avatar picture is 3 we got in a wild afternoon shoot just west of Graham in Young County, TX. The best wild pig I ever got was in a heavy acorn year outside of Llano, a pregnant midsized sow, she had 2 inches of fat on her, all from acorns. I made an Italian dish called Lardo out of some of the back fat, basically salt it, put in some herbs, and cure in the salt for a few months. Then thin slice it onto hot toast, and it melts like butter. One of the best things I ever ate. The famous Italian and Spanish hams and prosciuttos and such are made from pigs which have been "finished" with live oak acorns. I know a "government trapper" over by Gatesville, TX who traps hundreds of pigs a year. He puts used motor oil on his corn, which does two things. Hogs love used motor oil so it draws them; and it keeps the deer and coons from eating all the corn. I have video of an 8 point buck that low crawled into a low trap, twice in one day. Slow learner. Talk about a rodeo, getting him out of that thing. [/QUOTE]
