Im from hanover pa.i grew up just outside of gettysburg on a property adjoined to my grandfathers farm. we killed and butchered farm raised hogs and still do to this day. I love a salt sugar hickory smoked cured country ham. To all you guys who have had the experience of harvesting and eating a wild pig whats it taste like in comparison to a farm raised hog?

Contact GATORGAR...he eats Jav's and most ppl I talked to say they just shoot them. He says they don't know how to cook 'em and season them.
I was hoping to get one when i was there so I could try it, but alas I missed.
I hope to get one when I come down in June though.

Havis aren't pigs and that's why they don't taste like pork. I can't speak on wild hog as I've never eaten any.
God bless,Mudd

A good acorn fed wild hog tastes as good as any domestic hog. I like to keep them under a 125 lbs., the smaller the better.

Fl, Tx Wild hog tasted the same to me. We butchered them like a deer. Little tough getting the hide off.Groundpounder I tried the salt sugar cure and smoke but came out way too salty. Would be interested in curing options.

Well, Javelina from Arizona are cooked smothered with whatever BBQ sauce you deem to be of excellent flavor. It masks the flavor of the meat, and you don't care what that tastes like.

kctreeman, Never had that problem except around the hocks. And the front shoulders always get a little more salty.I think it helps too if you trim the fat off the meat before you freeze it.

I treat it the same as deer. Quarter it, let it age in a ice chest under ice for several days then cut it up.
Always works for me.

I just happen to stop by Navajo Bows to visit the other day and Roy said "you're just in time". Just in time for what? He had a nice big smoker going out back of his shop and had a pig he had shot a few days before cookin!! 8 hrs at the right temp and it was ready. He just quarters them and smokes the quarter whole. Let me tell you.. talk about good!!! Some BBQ sauce to go on the meat with some baked beans and potato salad.. yum.. and this was a big one, I think he said 180#... I asked him if the size matters as to taste and he told me "I've never had a bad one in 20 years".

I knew they had to be good. Wild pork, how could it not be? Anybody can ruin anything, sounds like it's the same as all cooking - it has to be done right. I really envy you guys/gals that get to hunt them. In the Spring no less. I could have hunted them today.....

Wild pig is very tasty and fairly lean-I give it a lot more cooking time than domestic pork. Don't let people tell you about bacon-there isn't any.
Crock pot or dutch oven works great.
BBQ sausages-gonna' have some in about an hour-they are wonderful.

made mild Italian sausage from this one, got a 45 pounder the next day and put hams and back strap in the crock pot with some chicken broth, the rest we BBQ'd. Wild hog can be very good treat it like your deer meat, get it cleaned and iced down ASAP..only have 2 packs of sausage left, time for a hog hunt??

If it's a boar with testies the meat is tough and real gamey tasting don't much like it. Luckly there are quite a few castrated hogs around here. I cooked a wild hog right next to a farm raised domestic hog last year. Everyone at the party commented on the wild hog tasting better than the domestic. Wild hogs have darker meat and are leaner and have a nice not to heavy game taste. Then there are the wild hogs that are trapped fatten up for a year before slaughter. They loose a bit of the game tast and get pretty fatty. Mmm I am hungry, luckly I have some hog grilling as we speak.

If you want to eat a boar cut a small slice off of the ham near the balls.Fry it outside on an old skillet you don't mind throwing away if it is bad you will smell it right away if not process as others have stated not great but O.K..Lean wild sows eating acorns are great not a pure pork taste but very good.I like to mix a wild pork roast and deer roast together they complement each other.Kip P.S.Keep in mind about testing a boar outside.
