#3 Wild boar, yummmm! Makes great bratwurst. I might have to start visiting Germany. Never been to Berlin.

On second thought, I'll just move to Ouray, Colorado. Was there last year in mid-May, and there were something like 800 deer in the city limits - of a town with a population of about 2000. Venison is gooooooddd!

#5 Wild boar are just like people in that they will eat both plants and meat. They have killed and eaten humans in the past. Taking one on with a knife means a decent chance of the boar getting his licks in. Don't feel so sorry for the boar.

#6 Muck4doo, your writing never made a whole lot of sense until now. Why is that? I imagined a Vietnamese guy saying what you wrote.

#7 Doo4brains, I think the idea was to have a block party with the boar on a spit with an apple in his mouth. It's mother nature in action, man. What do you think the croc hunter feeds the crocks, tofu. Crocodiles don’t eat alarm clocks - that was just a movie - they eat dead animals. People eat bacon and then take a dump; bacteria and microbes eat the doodoo and then the cycle begins anew. Haven't you heard Ted Nugent's cover of Circle of Life?

#8 Too bad they can't do a capture and release in some nice out of the way place, like say Mecca

#9 Taking a boar on with a knife takes brass cajones! Looks like pork is on the menu. I'll toss back a Jaegermeister in honor of stout Conrad tonight.

#10 "Petrified neighbours peered through their spy holes fearing their doors would not hold - and called 36-year-old hunter Conrad Meyer."

WTF? Was he in the yellow pages under "Hunter?"

P.S. - Wild boar is exceptionally tasty.

#11 I'll disagree on the taste of wild hog... I've tried to eat swine that have spent their time eating seafood... it'll make you think again. I'll stick to birds. That being said I'm very fond of pigs in general.

I've had a few nights like that myself...

#13 Shipman, the wild boar I had was lean and tasty. I am ashamed to admit it, but it was in Gaul.

I am a fan of pigs, too. Churchill had a great quote about why he preferred pigs to cats or dogs: "Dogs will look up to you and cats will look down on you, but a pig will look you right in the eye."
