[QUOTE="mmmooretx, post: 529176, member: 18736"] I have talked to a number of feral pig hunters here and the stench/over gamey taste seems to hit both boars and sows randomly. Yes the little ones are more tender and rarely have the stench. I think that it is mainly tied to diet (rotten carrion) but could also have some minor link to sex or age. One of my main feral pig mentors down her basically says if they have an over strong stench don't process it. He eats them all, lots of sausage too, male, female, young, and old. I am a meat hunter and only pull the trigger if I am going to eat it. However I will make an exception for ones on the vile side of stink because you do not know before you pull the trigger. Besides we have between 3-5 million feral pigs in Texas...... A farming friend told me each one does ~$1400 a year in crop/land damage. So I am glad to help.:):Dgun) [/QUOTE]
