I know they don’t taste like chicken...Gimme a clue....
I have tasted some wild boar meat once and it was delisious
quite sutable to feed the hungry masses including prison inmates, including all religious groops from the middle east
The usual reason for an increase in number of animals is an increase in the food supply.
There is some wild boar hunting available here in Ohio,in the southern counties.I’d hunt them from a tree stand,no way am I gonna hunt those on the ground-too dangerous.
Back in the Army I would here southern guys saying things like wild pigs being what they would fear in the woods. That the pigs would be on you too quickly with those tusks.
Used to hunt boar in the Everglades with my father and uncle.
Nothing like standing in chest high sawgrass and hearing them rooting around a couple of feet away. Use to carry short barrel 12 ga. with 00 and a .357 on my hip.
Man, that is hunting! Or was it being hunted?
here = hear
Gadz how I despise that trendy verb.
Who can eat carnivore? It's one step from scavenger.
I remember back in 1960 in Hoenfels, Germany, we had problems with them when we were on maneuvers and were sleeping on the ground. They didn’t hurt anyone but they sure caused a mess rooting around for anything edible.
Holy trichinosis, Boarman! Get that pig back on the grill.
The only animals they imperiled me with was a herd of goats. Me and another guy had guard duty, locked in an ammo dump with the goats. Couldn't see them in the dark but could hear them suddenly run about.
My brother ate wild boar at a restaurant in Malmedy, Belgium and he said it was fabulous. Here little piggy.
Are there pigs in North TX?
Or these? 
The Boar wars started here last month. We seen our first hog’s on the big ranch last month, since then we seeing them more often. I’ve got 2 spots baited out and a new rifle coming in, it’s a DPMS LR 308. There will be no hunting involved, we intend to kill every one we see. They are really getting bad here in TX.
Boar is similar in taste to pig but it is very lean and a lot redder in color. What you see there is cooked to perfection. Of the wild things you can hunt and eat, that’s about the best in my book.
And, BTW, we are overrun with a mixture of domestic pigs gone wild and wild Boar in CA also, mainly on the coast. Over here in the foothills we are overrun with Turkeys. There is a generous bag limit on wild pigs but it is a long way for me to drive to kill one.
The French will surrender.
And here in the US that's a regional thing. They live pretty far north in Europe so I'm surprised they haven't moved north here.
I LOVE cats!
.... I just can’t eat a whole one
...so I make jerky.......
