pete53,
I'll take that question: The under 100# pigs of both genders are GREAT eating & the "wee piggies", under 60# dressed, often go straight onto the BBQ pit whole for GREAT "pulled pork". Big sows are FINE, too.
I seldom bother even dressing out the BIGGEST boars, as critters have to eat too. = I shoot them & let them lay, unless I want the tushes for trophies.
I don't think that we have to worry about killing & "wasting" boars, as the supply seems to be growing & endless here in Texas.
Btw, I do not hunt pigs on our family farm, as "Oklahoma Doreen", out of Antlers, traps them & ships them to OK to fatten up/slaughter. = Every 90 days, she sends us a nice-sized check for our "cut".
yours, tex
