i have some older members of my family who will swear up and down that hogs taste like mud in the summer time because their diet consists mostly of crawfish.
i always pull the bs card on this. i have heard that hog tastes the same in august as it does in january.
what is ya'lls opinion?
i dont know if we each have our own destiny, or if were all just floatin around accidental-like on a breeze.

I've never noticed a difference.
No doubt about the AR crap, just damn shame hunters don't have self control and knowledge

I have never noticed in most areas, but there is nothing like a pig fattened up on acorns and pecans.

I caught a 250lb+ boar on 22 august, we have been eating backstrap steaks for the past week and they taste fine, thus debunking the myths that summer hogs taste muddy, summer hogs have worms, and big boars are too gamey to eat. It's all in how you handle the meat. If you treat it like garbage it will tast that way. Field dress, quarter and into a cooler as quick as possible, then let the meat sit in the cooler of ice until the water you drain out of the cooler is clear. This will work almost all the time but there are exceptions to every rule i suppose.

If you let them sit in sun, it's probably a different story

Im glad to hear and see some other game hunters out there on this forum like to eat hog meat. I posted a comment on here about not waisting hog meat and boy was that the wrong thing to say. The ice in the cooler works great and if you clean it right and prepare it right it's always good eating. Everyone seems to like to kill them and leave them like they are worthless animals. Blows my mind.

I read an Internet article that said to waste any wild pork was a shame from a food standpoint. I put some white vinegar in the cooler. Seems to work nicely. Took a bit of practice to prepare it correctly. We also not take the front shoulders and roast them then pull the meat to use later,
I prefer wild pork to the less tasteful domestic pork.

I know a ten party group from Ohio that paid big bucks for a Cabela hunt to west Texas for pigs. Out of the ten only two saw pigs and onle one got a shot. My brother was one of them. I told him that free range pig hunts was a real crap shot.

Well check out the forum under Deer Hunting that asks DO HOGS run off deer. I got in a big argument with everyone on there about wasting the meat seems I was the only one that didn't. But anyways surely there are some guys on there that will be open to let someone come shoot some hogs if they are that big of a problem for them. It seems they are. We have tons of them on one of my leases and I love having them. Fun to shoot and good eating.

I love to shoot and eat Hogs. We have several on our deer lease and I am glad. I want to shoot a nice buck ,but after that I would just as soon shoot a hog any day. Hogs are better eating to me.

I like to shoot hogs and eat hogs, but there have been dome that were not worth eating, and not all of those have been big boars. Have killed good eating ones in the summer and winterm have also killed some that I would not eat, meat stunk so bad I could smell it in the house a week after cooking one piece.
I think it has to do ith their diet, if they have been eating meat, old gut piles and such you will have a stinker on you plate ifit makes it that far. mow days if one smells bad it is coyote.hog bait, if it smells on then it is headed to the grill.
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true
Mainstream news might be fun to watch
