Down here the little ones are scampering around. They'll drive you nuts when you're deer hunting. Of the dozen or so I've shot this Fall, about half have been tender little pups. They fry up beautifully--melt off the bone--but they sure are tiny in a scope.
I had an old boar simmer for a good hour and a half once before it softened up. But it made some good taco meat, which is the other recipe I use the older ones in besides your stew. They take some tugging and gnawing if you fry 'em.
