[QUOTE=AubreyLaHaye458;652321]I killed one about the same size on thanksgiving day. I won't clean one that big. But I was always told that if they dot smell too bad and you cut the nuts and throat right away the meat will be okay. But I'm not risking it.


I think the key is making sure they drop at the first shot and don't have a chance to get their glands dumping stuff into their bloodstream. Makes for that nasty boar smell. Also just being a boar, they get "boar taint" from swallowing their own frothy saliva that has lots of hormones in it.
