A boar that size, shot in the summer, I wouldn't eat.
I've only eat wild hog twice (loved it)but have heard it definitely makes a difference whether it was being "run" or not. I also know a lot of people pass on bigger boars bu I also know people who think blue catfish aren't good to eat.

Nice kill Mack!




I have said it all here before.

Wild hogs of all sizes and sexes are good to eat.

The key is to get the meat out fast after killing.

Make a good clean head shot, then get the meat out in the next 20 min.


I don't run hogs though so not sure how a hog that is being chased by dogs would taste. I am not a fan of ever opening the body cavity either. simply cut the backstraps out then roll to the side and remove hams and shoulder then other side and you have 4 quarters, and two straps on ice.


DO NOT KEEP MEAT FROM HOGS WITH OBVIOUS INFECTIONS OR ABSCESSES.
