Them boars are just as good to eat if treated right. If they have been run hard you have to tie them and let them calm down for about eight hours then kill them while they are not all worked up. One thing an old man told me is cut the stick and berries out immediately after killing. Last thing is put the meat in a cooler with ice water and a quart or two of white vinegar. Let it soak for a couple days draining the water off daily and adding more ice. I did these steps on a rank smelling 260lb boar and the meat tasted store bought.  it works |

Gotta work at it a bit. Most of the stink/game flavor comes from the fat I think. I've trimmed mine down to just meat....nearly no fat....soak in ice/salt water, rinse and repeat. Marinade real well and it ain't bad.

We kill them on the spot but we soak them in ice water and vinegar as Peachcreek said. The bigger the hog the longer we soak them. Just
keep draining the bloody water off and adding Ice. We have soaked them as long as 2 weeks. Also makes them more tender.

Take them alive and feed and water for a week or so to clean them out.
