Wish we could hunt them at night in Louisiana. Kill'em all.

You can from Sundown the last day of February until Sun Up the Last day of August.  New LDWF rule went into effect early last year.  PM Me for the specifics.

Those dudes will destroy any turkey nest they come across and after they taste eggs they will seek them out, killem all and leave them for the yotes the lest of the two evils.

Way to go. Set up a hog trap yesterday to try and help out over at my dads spot. Went back today and there was about a dozen under his feeder. Managed to get a young bar ( castrated ) hog about 60 pounds. We got trail cam pics of 15+ hogs at a time. They are keeping the deer out.

what do you do with the boars? I heard they arent good to eat.

Feed em to the yotes and buzzards.  Big boars are terrible to eat, they stink, the meat stinks, and you can't hardly stick around when cooking it.

The "odor" of a boar is NOT in the meat.  It is on the skin. If cleaned properly you can not tell the difference between a boar or a sow.  The problem is that while cleaning the boar, hunters allow the pheramones on the skin (odor is secreted in urine and through skin) to contact the meat.  Every hog is good eating.  You just have to clean them correctly.

We haven't found them to be that way and can assure you I've skinned many without letting the skin touch the meat.  Even the inner loins had a terrible smell and taste when cooked. 

Even the hard core hog hunters around here throw out the boars that are over 100lbs.

That said, I've eaten a couple Bars that were fine on the table.
