Under Estimated Javelina

The problem with the meat is that people don't take care of it properly. You need to get the hide off and the meat cooled off. Don't try to mess with the scent gland either, it will come off with the hide.

In hunting them for 30 years and shooting over 25 of them we have only had a single one that wasn't worth eating and it had sat in the sun for a while before we found it.

I don't marinate it, I'll just smoke it over mesquite wood. A friend will just fry it up with peppers and onions.
Good advice, granted I have only shot one. An old boar, he was skinned for a full body mount within maybe 45 minutes and hung in the walk in cooler immediately. I’ve definitely had feral pigs that were much worse on the table.

I know nothing about javelina but I think you're comments apply to almost any game meat that people think is "bad". Its so simple and so many people dont get it. Skin em and cool em off!!!
