How'd the "cut the nuts off of a dead boar" myth get started?

Uhh. Do what?

I know a few folks who claim that when you kill a boar you have to cut the nuts off right away or it wont taste worth a fart.

Someone’s pawpaw..

People who don’t know how to clean and cook game.

I saw a post today saying you had to cut the nuts off them shampoo it down. Yeah it’ll be cleaner that way but giving the hog a spa treatment isn’t effecting the meat at all


Here it is

Cut the nuts immediately and scrub the hog with shampoo or dawn and wash it 500lb pigs taste like the babies

Lol that's what sparked this thread. I was trying to figure out how to post a screenshot of that fellers post but imgur is acting up and my hands are cold.

Someone w too much nicotine, caffeine and alcohol pontificating, probably related to the one that started the snakes can’t bite underwater or waders make sink

Some of the old timers used to cut the nuts off buck deer also so the meat wouldn’t be “tainted”.They also believed it was necessary to cut a deer’s throat as soon as possible to bleed it.

Never heard this. Glad too.

Somebody please explain to me how that would work, I cant come up with anything unless whoever started it was cooking the boar with the nuts still attached.

This has to be just a LA thing because I have never heard it.

and to the other poster with the shampoo thing WT actual F?

It doesn't work. The only way to take a boar hog and have the meat taste okay is to not have him hot and bothered. Early morning, cool weather, and he moseys into a pile of corn take him. If he's caught in a trap and riled up the meat won't be any good. I had an Uncle that raised hogs for a living. he mostly killed young shoats, sows, and pigs, but on occasion he took out some larger boar hogs. He would ease up to the pen early in the morning, wait til he turned to face him, and shot him between the eyes with a 22. Then as he hit the ground, a large knife was used to slice open the neck cutting the jugular vein, to bleed him out. The meat was just as good as any sow.
