Had a big boar absolutely run us out of the house it smelled so bad when we tried to cook some of it. One huge sow was so tough as to be unchewable. Since those two episodes I’ve not butchered one over #150 or so and haven’t had any more bad ones.

Generally I can kill 3-5 before they get out of sight with my personal best being 9 out of a sounder. In those cases I pick the smallest 2 or 3 and remove the loins, sometimes I’ll take more of them depending on how close I can get the truck. Rarely I’ll remove a couple hams off a #50er to smoke and pull.
