Ok Dawg, You're the Man with a pig-bomb problem. So your 500# Boar was good to go. I'm wondering if they rut like deer, moose etc. I have shot rutting deer&Moose, wherein you couldn't eat them either. Way Too Muskie. So, if they do rut then, maybe, there is a time wherein you can harvest the monsters without that Muskie scent, that turns, even the dogs off, as Texrider has described. Hey, I don't know, I'm just hypothesizing and looking for Further Light and Knowledge??

The Durocks are typically pen raised domestic pigs. This one had no marks or tags so it must have been some random escapee from someone's farm from years past. As for odor, yeah he was smelly but I guess we just got lucky. I've never heard if boars have a " rutting season". I just assumed they were always looking for love. LOL

Hogs do not have a specific mating season. Sows can have (I think) 3 litters a year, with over a dozen piglets per litter. I have trail cam photos of fields with 40+ hogs. Darn things breed faster than rabbits!
I'm waiting on the depradation permit to come through before I can hunt the big sow at night. I'll post photos if I can get her.

WC, that's not a topic you guys want to hear about.
I'm once bitten, twice shy. I'm jaded.
Single.
And it's gonna stay that way.

I was the one who spoke up and said
"Who told you to try them all?"
My life is now quiet.
