Nice work! Keep it up, there's plenty more where those came from. But it does feel great to reduce their numbers at any given time!

Wish I could find some place to get some. Could use a ton of sausage in the freezer.

Just curious, how does sausage from wild pig compare to store-bought? I'm not a huge fan of deer, honestly, don't care for the gaminess, and yes, I've heard all the methods to remove it. But I'm asking about pig... am I gonna get one of these (someday) and think, "Ugh, no mas!"? We eat a lot of sausage in my house, we use it for many things to mix in or substitute for ground beef, so I would like to think about taking some hogs for that purpose.

I know the boars are not supposed to be good to eat, so that makes me wonder if the gals are just "less" of the same, thus people can tolerate them. I don't like gamey, musky, whatever kind of taste. I lived in Ireland for a year and all their meat (except the chikkin) tasted funny, because they didn't grain-feed it before slaughter (so I was told) - therefore I always skip "grass-fed" meats.


Oh, and congrats on getting a couple more "breeders" out of the way!

In my experience, boars and gilts smell and taste pretty much the same up to about 100 lbs(+/-). My rule on pigs is, if I smell them when I walk up, the buzzards are getting a treat.

And you can smell them a long way off.
We've tried everything from the piglets to the old boars. The meat is just not good to me no matter what you do to it. That's just me. Last time I tried to cook some, it took a year to get the smell out of the kitchen.
