I know many hog hunters that wont even touch a big, over 150lb boar. They insist that they taste awful. I don't know how they know that, as they've never tried one. The larger boars do tend to have a stronger smell, but that's on the skin. I always thoroughly wash down them down before skinning and gutting, making sure there is little contact between skin and meat. I also try to keep my hands clean so they don't transfer either. There is little wrong with the smaller ones, but the larger are just as good. capt david

"It's not how hard you hit 'em, it's where you hit 'em." The 30-06 will, with the right bullet, successfully take any game animal in North America up to 300yds.

If you are a hunter, and farther than that, get closer!
