Paulus - Aye, they have stripes when they are a bit younger than that, this lot have lost them. Them ones are about finns size.

i found the sows and pigletts were quite tollerent i use to feed them however the boar of the group is another matter and fast tree climbing skills came in handy on more than one occasion

Taste better at that size thay are all over down with us it's bonkers between bambi and them were ok for meat just need some bunnies now!!! Atb donk

If you get to close to the pigglets in the first few days if the mother feels threatened something clicks in their head and thay eat their young also a wild boar farmer by me told me that their at risk from buzzards at a young age atb donk

You are dead right there Paulus - they are incredibly intelligent animals, and learn quite quickly if you mean harm or not. So after a few times chucking food to the sows, they start to come in when they see you, and the piglets learn from their mums. However just like crows, if you raise a gun or a stick like a gun, they run like f**k, same if they see the dog (the little ones). Also quite right about the big males, they are just naty b*****ds and yup, they have had me up a tree a few times.

 

Sorley - few months mate

Good mothers are rearers - once the young survive the first few weeks, they usually all make it to adult hood, a long as some nasty hunter doesnt get them

 

And donk is right, them and the fallow are rife!

Amazing taste to eat you cannot compare farm wild boar to true wild boar most of the shop sold wild boar is infact reared wild boar.

 

I get some of our game dealer where it comes from the forset of dean heard on the grapevine that the forestery commison are planning cull all the wild boar in the forest.

 

If you not tried it try it you will not be dissapointed ATB Cookie
