I worked with a guy years ago, who was in the Brandon area, and he had wild boars that he sold for meat. He said that if the boars weren't breeding for some time (can't remember how long), that the meat was nice and tender and didn't stink like a boar that was being used for breeding.
It was almost 20 years ago and I've lost track of the guy, though

awe yes, you may have something there! I heard that they........they....... they....... ______ like minks, so I can see that being a distinct possibility. Apparently these wild boar mass produce in a very short time!

It may have changed recently in Alberta but it used to be that wild boar (there used to be some on the Red Deer river around Rosebud) were off limits to hunters because they were considered "escaped livestock" and if you shot one (and told anyone) then you would have to pay the wild boar farmer from whom it had escaped.

legally in sask they are still classed as 'domesticated animals',i think this will change very shortly.
as one CO said to me 'would you shoot a cow that wasnt in its field'
 
we have had wild boar on the menu at several restaurants I have worked at and done lots of really good dishes. osso bucco, confit, blue cheese stuffed chops. boar Marsala, porkchetta. Tried bacon a few times and it always sucked. There is a company in Alberta that does several types of boar charcuterie including proscuitto that is very good.
The stuff we get has always come from farms and I have even done complete butcher of more then a few. I never found they stunk and lots were dressed around 140-150. Might be a different story in the wild. I will say side be side with local pork raised on a small farm pork beats boar every time in taste and texture, boar is tougher and dryer.
All that said anyone who wants to tell me where I can shoot a few in sask let me know and I will gladly give MHO on that meat.

In Short: Seek permission from land owners and the RM, and follow the normal Wildlife Hunting Laws

This is the response I received after emailing Ken Cheveldayoff MLA Saskatoon Silver Springs area.

Thank you for your inquiry regarding regulations surrounding wild boars. You are correct that feral or free ranging wild boars are not a game animals and do not require a hunting licence. Legally, free ranging or feral wild boars are regulated under two pieces of Legislation; The Stray Animals Act and The Wildlife Act.

A declaration made under The Stray Animals Act designates free-ranging wild boars as dangerous stray animals. Dangerous stray animals may be hunted with the approval of the local Rural Municipality and the owner of the land on which the hunting is occurring. The Wildlife Act definition of 'wildlife' and specifically ‘exotic wildlife' applies to free ranging or feral wild boars. Therefore feral wild boars are wildlife but are not defined as a game species requiring a hunting licence. However as wildlife The Wildlife Act and regulations do apply.

So to your question regarding the hunting of wild boar at night - It is unlawful to hunt any wildlife at night or with the use of lights. Therefore it is unlawful to hunt feral wild boars at night or with a light.

Our advice is to always check with your local conservation officer and the rural municipality before hunting wild boars. If you have any further questions please call Brad Tokaruk with our Fish and wildlife branch at (306) 787-2464.

Around Wakaw Saskatchewan. Go ask the farmers around there. Hope it helps.
 
I'm going with less palatable than small farm pork.
We had a Viet, and until he was 'cut' he stunk worse than a hippies feet. And he was just young. Man, he stunk!
