I agree with Treeclimber if you want one to eat shoot a smaller one. Though we've eaten boars up to 550 lbs and they tasted fine. The trick is to make sure they are not riled up when they are shot. If they have been run by dogs, fighting, or anything that gets their adrenaline up they can get a strong taste. Even when we trap them we sneak up on them and shoot them before they know we are there that way they don't get their adrenaline flowing.
