Have hunted and eaten them for 30 years in Georgia and South Carolina. Gilts and sows are better than boars, IMO. Excellent fare if they’ve been eating well (grain, acorns, etc) and are butchered correctly.
Tasty enough that quite a few anti-hunting/anti-gun progressive types came back for seconds on one I smoked for a party awhile back. This, after I told them that it was legally killed with with my rifle. Also told them I butchered it myself.
All they left was the bones.
Sorta irritated me somewhat cause I wanted some to take home....
Ha, I love it. Those anti-hunting/anti-gun progressive types must have had at least half a brain. :)
