Wild hog is some of the most disgusting meat I've ever had. Gamey strong flavored like I was eating meat flavored with sour weeds. The bacon was inedible it was so bad.

Absolutely nothing like the sweet tasty pig you get from the store.

Wild boar, or wild sow? In domestic pigs intended for slaughter, the males are castrated when a few days old in order to keep their meat from developing a gamey flavor. (Ask Iowa senator Joni Ernst if you want to learn how to develop that skill.) I could imagine wild boar meat would be inedible. But aside from that, diet will also impact the flavor if the meat. A diet heavy in acorns will probably add a pronounced pungency, for instance.

It was a 100 lb wild sow, covered in ticks and just nasty looking. I was excited until I tried all the cuts and realized how different wild is from domesticated.
