On my first two hunts I went for boars. The first one tasted great, the second one was horrible (each about 250 lbs). Both had been eating acorns, so that is not a guarantee. The second one was specifically hunted as it was a very-ill tempered roan which had killed at least one dog and had eluded other hunters for quite some time. He was scarred all over from many fights. Lesson learned: don't shoot those if you want to put it on the table.

Since then I've only taken sows (three of them) and have been pleased with the table fare they provide.

Good luck in making the arrangements that work for you. Hog hunting is a blast.
