German boar hunters are reporting one of their best seasons since World War II as moderate weather and plentiful food have led to a wild pig population boom.

The German Hunters' Association said Wednesday between April 2007 and March 2008 hunters killed 477,500 wild boar - 66 percent more than the previous year.

Muzzies don’t like pigs - are “pigs” a subset of the “boars” population?

Years ago I went a wild meat roast held by a couple friends of my parents. Among other things, they had a whole wild boar roasted on the spit.

To this day, I have never had any pork that was as tender and tasty as that sucker was.

The stewed bear was pretty good too. ;)

Had wild boar sausage at a BBQ in S. America a few months ago. DELICIOUS.

Reminds me of a junior high cheer chanted by some of the black students to their opponents:

U-G-L-Y

There ain't no alibi

You Ugly!

Oh yeah...when I was in the Army in Germany back under Ronaldus Magnus, I was invited to spend Christmas Eve with a German family. They fed me dinner, which consisted of boar stew. It was downright tasty! I’d never had boar before.

It turns out the dad of the family was a forest manager and he had taken down the boar himself.

I would like to hunt a wild boar on foot with a spear. Supposedly that’s some real sport.
