A friend shot a 200 lb one on my place a couple of weeks ago. By the time it was dressed out and shoulders and hams taken off, there wasn't all that much meat. The guts had to weigh 40 pounds. The same guy took one that had to go 300+ a couple of years ago.

I've shot a couple of them but they are usually nocturnal.

They are OK to eat. However, if you shoot a boar and walk up to it, you will sometimes find a really rank odor. There is no way to remove that odor from the meat. It's like trying to eat an old goat. We drag those off to the coyotes.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
