If you harvest a bigger boar, take a few minutes to take a small chunk of meat and smell it, throw it in the skillet... and if it doesnt run you out of the house, take a bite... If you pass these steps, continue cleaning lol. A nasty boar will make you want to throw away the skillet and burn some candles. Best case is as BAIV said. If in doubt, de-nut and eat at a later date.
excellent advice...cook a piece and you will know if it needs to be fed to the dogs...I used to do it that way...
but now I am past that stage...skin a leg back enough to smell the meat and if it has that certain odor just feed it to the dogs...I have added salt and water and vinegar with the ice and replaced it 3 times in one week period and it might work but more than likely not...I think a brain shot with an unsuspecting boar might make for good eating...has worked a few times in the past but most of the time it didn't work so I don't attempt that any more...
I can make deer meat taste like beef if I want to but a stinky boar seems to just stay that way...
