Hey Mike, sounds good!

Question though...  I've always heard that a boar with any size to it wasn't fit to eat.  Everybody says it will run ya out the house from the stink alone.  I know that yours was a bigg'n so what's the deal?  Guys I work with down there in TX say they usually just leave a boar lay when they shoot one.  Heck, some of these guys will go out and shoot 4 or 5 in an evening and not bring any of the meat home.  Of course, they look at them as some kind of varmint between a skunk and an armadillo I think.

But seriously, I think EVERYBODY I've ever talked to about hunting pigs says you can't eat a big boar.  Is there something you can do to improve the meat like cutting out glands or something?  I've never hunted them but I have several invites to go and plan to take some time to hunt them after deer season in MO is done.  I hate the thought of shooting a big one and not being able to eat it.

Dave,

Well see how stupid I am, never thought that he wouldn't be good to eat.  If I had, I wouldn't have shot him.

Tastes great to me.
