For those that give a rats arse...... wrt taste on wild boars the issue is boar taint which may or may not be a problem.
Sows / gilts: females are not a problem. Tasty!
Barrows: young male pigs before maturity not a problem. Tasty.
Boars on the other hand (intact non castrated males that have their testicles) and have reached maturity (raging male hormones) can be a problem. About 1/4 mature males (boars) have boar taint. They can can stink when being cooked, taste "off" no matter how we cook them, etc... You will sure know quickly if your meat has this boar taint!!
So when we have an intact male under our knife we do a quick and easy field test to test for this boar taint. We heat the blade of the knife really really hot and drop a piece of meat on the hot steel. the meat will immediately gas/steam/fry off and we simply smell the steam. If it stinks the meat is tainted and will never be good to eat or process. No smell? then all good to go! you can smell boar taint / you can't miss it.
