Default Hog Help

Hello everyone I'm new here and really wanting your advice. I just shot my first hog last weekend. That was flippin fantastic. I got the thing dressed out w/in two hours and had it on ice. It weighed in at 185lbs before it was dressed. Absolutely no smell to it at all. Good looking Florida Boar. Packed it in ice and when home. Took it to a game processor the next day. They hung it for three days and processed the animal for me. I got the frozen meat home and broke open some of the sausage that they had ground up and wow did id have a smell. Same smell/flavor when I cooked it and ate it. OK, now I don't want to waist this but did the processor screw this up and give me the wrong animal, does the flavor only come out 1 week later or what? I rubbed one of the back straps down with a rub and fried it and finished it in the oven same under flavor and smell as the sausage. I'm trying to soak one of the roasts in butter milk to see if that helps. Any suggestions on how to save the meat and what to do different next time? Thanks in advance.
