Chef Report post Posted December 28, 2010 Ron, I say you are right! Shoot one of everything! The wild pigs eat way better than javalina! The wild pigs, like any wild game, are lower in fat content and you just have to be careful not to overcook it and let it dry out. The nice thing about them being considered vermin is you can practice and practice until you get a few delicious methods under your belt. Notice I said "methods" and not recipes. Recipes contain "ingredients" like spices and such. What is much more important here is the method in which the boar is cooked, to keep it as moist as possible. Low and slow is good. You can't go wrong with pit BBQ style. If you like, you can send it in to get sausage made and have them mix in real pork and pork fat. Delicious. Let us know how he fares and hopefully you get to try some things out. Shoot me an email if you do, you've got my e-mail! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C.Shoemaker Report post Posted December 28, 2010 I've eaten lots of wild boar and find it terrific. Backstrap on the grill and a little seasoning salt is all you need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
