Why don't yall post any myths that you have heard about hog meat and debunk them. For example I've heard that on boars over 150 lbs or so is rank and for the meat to be edible the boar needs to be cut for a few weeks before killing it. Truth or Myth?
I don't know many of the myths that are out there but I'm sure some of the regular hog hunters know of them so lets get some factual answers on here for folks that don't know much about hogs. Another thing that would be good to post in here would be any precautions that need to be taken when handling hog meat. For example I have heard that you don’t need to use the same knife for skinning deer and hogs.
If folks are better informed they may be more likely to use the hog meat instead of letting it rot which it appears that a little more than half on here is against.
If we get a good list maybe we can consolidate it into one post and make it a sticky.
