Hey I prefer Pork and goat, what can I say?? I think it it the lean venison...Hey I like it OK but if I have a choice. just satin'
There's a couple of Fudruckers in Orlando, and 3 or 4 down in the Miami area.
hog over deer here any day!
I won't take a hog over a deer, but I will grind them together if I get a nice fat porker off a corn feeder. The extra fat put holds the venison together so it doesn't fall to pieces on the grill. Makes great sausage mixed together.
I will eat a boar hog; I will not kill one otherwise. I have had a couple that the meat had a taint to it and that's the meat I always give away to the folks that always bugger me for wild game, lolol.
If a mature boar has been run by dogs, been fighting amongst his own, or breeding or running with a sow in season, his testosterone levels are realy high and the meat's liable to stink. Worse is if you hit him wrong, track him forever and have to put a finishing shot or two in him, the testosterone and adrenaline will nearly (I say nearly) ruin the meat. Kill him clean and get to work rendering him to meat and getting it on ice as quickly as you can.
A lot of the taint can be removed by the way the meat is handled; how quicly t's cleaned, how quickly the glands and gonads are removed, how quickly it's put on ice, and such as that...
For the most part, a relaxed and feeding hog taken with a clean shot and handled quickly will serve quite nicely for dinner.
