I’ve really treid to like deer over the last couple decades. Smoked, jerky, sausage, mixed with buffalo/elk/cow, cut with lard, wrapped in bacon, with a red-wine mushroom sauce...
Just don’t care much for it.
Wild hog is indistinguishable from any other pig. Javelina is a little tougher than wild hog. Peccary and domestic swine are cousins, so that isn’t too much of a surprise.
They’re destructive little buggers too. Not much of a problem in MN yet, but I’m always on the lookout for somewhere to hunt them in Wisconsin, Iowa, or even South Dakota.
We got them little Peccary’s all over the place and I occasionally get some jerky from a friend.
Delish.
