Boars 150 ponds and under are good sows up to 200 is my rule of thumb

We trap and bring 90 % to the certified sale barn.
When we shoot we process to eat. With the exceptions of boars that are over 100lbs. Those go to feed the wild critters on the farm. Under 100 lb sows are our target and are mighty tasty. 50-60 lber's are a delicacy IMHO.
Just like a deer..... handle it, process it and cook it right and it will be delicious.

I've processed large boars and they were fine. I think they were young, even though 150#+.
I generally process them this way: Backstraps & tenderloins for steaks, hams & shoulders for the smoker, same with ribs usually, pork bellys for bacon, all trimmings to be ground into sausage.
The next small one I get, I want to drop into scalding water & scrape the hair off of it, then throw it on the pit. Ain't nothing better than crunchy pork skin.

If it's early enough in the day I will place a cpl phone calls and point willing recipients in the direction of the massacre.
The last ones I actually cleaned was on a meat hunt @ my buddy's lease where anything legal was getting shot...I collected 1 95lb sow and 5 25lb piglets to throw on the smoker for his work crew.
