LOL....my ex BIL tried that with some sausage he had processed from a 250#+ boar!!! I happened to walk into his house the same evening my sister was "attempting" to cook it...needless to say...she had all the windows up, every ceiling fan running and it was about 40* outside....you tell me why she had all that going on with 40* temps outside...LOL So how did it taste?

more like....who could get past the smell!!!! here in Ga you don't get a boar processed if he's killed on foot in the wild unless he's under 75 pounds! The meat is so strong/tainted that you'll end up peeling the wall paper off the kitchen walls if you try to cook it!!! Needless to say I could smell the meat even when it was frozen! That meat never even feed the dogs!

OK, I have to ask. Why the odor?
As an aside, decades ago I had the opportunity to taste caribou meat. Whether it was the preparation method or the meat itself, I don't know, but the whole house stunk and I absolutely could not stand to eat it. Someone in the family had brought some steaks home; this stuff put me off real steak for quite some time.

I killed a huge boar (about 250+) and the meat had a strong smell when it was cooking but the taste was fantastic! It only had an odor when it was cooking, don't ask me why on that one? In the old days they would trap boars and castarate them then turn them back loose to feed in the wild then that fall they would trap or hunt them and they would be rid of the foul odor. Now on the Caribou meat I'm going to say it was either improperly handled or began to spoil a little afterwards. I have eaten Caribou before and I found it to be wonderful. You just got some bad meat I'm guessing.

I knew nothing about the individual caribou. I'm a big meat eater, but this stuff was a real shock. I've never had anything but the usual beef, pork, chicken, and fish since that experience.

WFTFWLR said it best...It's kind of like when a young man goes through puberty...one week they can run and play and come in sweat dripping off of them with no smell what so ever...a week later...that same kid comes in and...WHOA!!! GO TAKE A BATH!!! The older the boar is the worse it smells. many times a boar can be smelled long before it's seen. We hunted hog on the Ogeechee River in Gibson, Ga and one of the newer guys got really freaked out when we started talking about smelling a hog and then around the next bend we could see where a 250-300 # huge footed hog crossed the sand bar!!!
