My thoughts on on what makes a hog stink and taste bad are these. It's not the hogs size or age that causes the the problem but rather circulating stress hormones and perhaps gender. If I shoot a hog and it"bang-flops", there is little bad smell or taste. If I shoot a boar hog and it runs even 50 yards its probably not worth eating. Bar hogs and sowes taste better then boars. So all the more reason to pick your shots an shoot accurtately.
