[QUOTE="r00s7a, post: 1270862, member: 9675"] All a matter of your own personal taste, preparation, and what kinda pig you're eatin. Myself, I think the right pig can make fine table fare. Size doesn't always determine palatibility either. I've shot 80 lb boars that stink to high heaven, and killed 300 lb ones that were great. But generally, bout an 80 lb gilt does well on the smoker. Wild pigs are not nearly as fatty as domestic pigs, so you're not going to get a big marbled ham like you see in the grocery store. There will be a hunk of fatback on top, and that is bout it. They are relatively lean. Don't let those treehuggers that insist everything that doesn't come from Homeland tastes "gamey" steer you away from wild pork. Of course it tastes "gamey", it wasn't bought from the meat counter. It has its own flavor, which is quite good. But you will come across those pigs that just plain STANK, and when you try to cook them it just gets worse. Those get left in the pasture. [/QUOTE]
