Houseplant Posted July 11, 2019 Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 What's the legal status of boar in the UK? Maybe you need a few Kiwi hunter/dog teams to sort out the problem. Damn effective. They kill way more pigs than rifle hunters here and no guns needed, just long knives. Brutal/dangerous stuff though. Not for me, but at lot of people seem to enjoy it. 5 minutes on YouTube will give you an idea of what it's all about. Probably not for the sort of people that are concerned about long shots at rabbits though 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure it would work here with the far smaller parcels of land. Plus it would be illegal from the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to pork, less fatty, even more so if you take the skin off when preparing the animal. Slightly gamy, but nothing that would put off even the most picky of eaters. We treat it pretty much like pork, but it goes well in casseroles and pulled pork. Thanks for that, might buy some and give it a try, thanks again.

Walker570 Posted July 11, 2019 Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 Yes, like pork but better. The loins in particular are awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
