My neighbor's wild boars escaped and one of the friggen sow's decided to set up house with the piglets in a little 30 acre piece of bush behind the house. The boars were rooting around within 100 yards of the house.
These animals were extricated in short order.
I would like to suggest that one use a 30-06 and greater to kill one of these animals, especially a boar.
These wild pigs, especially the boars, have a cartilaginous carapace right behind the head, and you need something with shocking power to take them down.
The cartilage is not as thick as between the ears of a male mountain sheep, but it comes pretty close.
Anyways, a retired new Albertan from Austria who lives several miles from the farm smoked selected portions of the sows and boars.
The meat is a bit sweet, but is quite tasty, especially with cheese, crackers, light barley based beverages, and Shnaaps.
