If u kill a boar u can grind for sausage or u can put the meat in an ice chest. Cover in ice and as it melts drain and replace ice. Do this 3 or 4 days the meat will be fine. Or bring him out alive put him on corn a couple weeks and put a 22 bullet behind his ear. Meat will taste fine. Testosterone is what makes boar meat taste bad. I remove all possible fat as well.

I don't eat boar meat- but many others do. As with any wild game, make sure it is clean and cooked completely and glands are removed.
I think a better question would be skinning and preparation. Many people skin hogs differently thus leaving more or less fat on the hog. A lot of that depends on the intended purpose (sausage vs cuts). I m not a big sausage fan anymore, so I prefer to cut a lot of the fat out.

They both make a turd, just bleed the boar out in a cooler filled with ice before processing it. Can't taste any difference between a sow or a boar once bled out for a wk and like said before, get the glands out

Have eaten a lot of boars, big and small, in my life and still haven't came across any reason not to eat them. |

lol man I eat them ALL just like a banana peel them and eat them . sows are better for indoor cooking and for folks that can't take a '' GAMEY '' taste . I keep all meat and butcher the sows for sausage and frying meat and throw them boar hogs on the smoker . you smoke a big boar hog ham on a slow smoker filled with pecan wood and even the most die hard anti boar hog eater will be sucking on the bones lol .

We eat both boar and sow. What I do is buy fat timmings from our local grocery store and add it to the wild pork before making pan sausage. It also makes great hamburger meat. The main thing to remember when eating wild game is once its taken off of ice to make sausage or whatever, let it freeze solid for a few weeks and then when you cook it be sure its done. No pink in the middle. This is important to kill any parasites that may be in the muscle tissue.

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... |

Reuben, try lemon juice before the vinegar. Soak it 3-5 days in icey lemon salt water, then drain the water, throw in an onion a glove of garlic and vinegar and let soak for 3-5 days. It's worked for me in the past. The last time I tried it, I forgot to check the ice for 1 day and came home from work and had a cooler full of rank meat. Had to throw the meat and cooler away.
