gzilla45 Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 I'm going on a wild boar hunt later this year and I'm wondering how similar the meat is to farm raised pork. Will I be able to enjoy pork chops or do they have a real wild taste to them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 I try to pick them out under about 120 lbs or so. Boars bigger than that can get pretty gamey. Wild hog is excellent! If you see a big boar and look under his tail at what appears to be a soccer ball in a croaker sack, remember when you shoot what you're going to have on the grill!!!

okiedog Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 I try to pick them out under about 120 lbs or so. Same here. If I'am eatting one try to stay under the 100# mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gzilla45 Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Thanks for the info guys. It looks like I'll just have to shoot the ones that are the same size as my dog. That makes it a little easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNTINGMAN Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 I have only killed one and it was about 150lb and if you didnt cook it in a crockpot you couldnt chew it.The tast was goot,I ended up makeing pork bbq in the crockpot out of my whole hog because that was the only way I could get it tender enough to eat.

hungry hunter Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 AAAHHH the tastey piney woods rooter. Excellent grilled, smoked, fried. Ya get the hint. Anything over 150 process into sasauge. Other then that ya got lots of good eating. The only time I have got gamey taste from wild hog is from a 300 pound plus boar that had been fighting and breeding. If the area where you are going to hunt hogs turns boars into bars (casterated) look for ear notch then all sizes are excellent eating.

TD Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 I've killed alot of hogs at my place,,,,,just stay under 150# and cook it like your deer and it's great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxStarr Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Ah, sad to say, you won't be getting pork chops off a wild hog. You can BBQ the ribs and they are tasty but not a lot of size to them. Are y'all going to be using dogs or stand hunting or spot/stalk hunting? Either way is a blast! Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjspears20 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 They are a blast to hunt kinda fill in the gap between Deer seasons But dont be in such a hurry for them to get there just ask any farmer who has to deal with them they cause all kinds of coastly problems in in Texas.
