Not eating Boars??????

When I was fresh out of high school I made about 100 pounds of sausage out of a big boar. You couldn't be in the house with it while it was cooking! I was obviously pissed that it was not edible. I did a little research to find out what the problem may be. A boar has a preputial diverticulum (pouch) that is dorsal to the piss hole. The diverticulum accumulates urine, secretions, and deal cells which contribute to the typical oder of a mature boar. It is easily removed prior to skinning. If the diverticulum is properly removed the meat will taste no different no matter the size of the boar. After figuring this out I have had no problem with the taste of a boar. The reason boars get a bad rap is the diverticulum in located on the midline on the belly, exactally where people typically cut to remove hide and guts. Once this pouch is cut the contents easily come in contact with a significant portion meat. You are not going to be able to wash it off, it is the culprit on giving boars a bad rap.
