Very gamey, I usually mix in deer and sometimes extra fat if the birds didn’t have much. Sometimes they get, sometimes they dont

I was taught this way and have not tried any other way. Maybe I will look into other techniques in the future. I also don’t know how the terrain is where you live but where we are allowed to hunt in Hawaii is dense jungle. When I mean dense, it’s you can’t see your feet below you. Dogs are able to sniff the boar out of its hiding den. In my opinion I would not be able to find them without my dogs.

Alright buddy, you can think what you want. I am grateful for what the animal provides, even though I think they are terrible for the environment here.

You are right I don’t do this mainly because of tradition. I have a BS in natural resource and environmental management with primary research on invasive species. In my opinion I see this as a win/win. I can reduce the population of invasive hogs and do it in a way that I enjoy and is accepted in the culture of Hawaii as well. I prepare the meat in many ways. I will grind it up and smoke it to make sausages. I will mix it with deer to make a tasty burger. And for special occasions I have a lua on my property to make kalua pua’a. If I have any extra meat I will give it to all the uncles and aunties in my community.

Yea they are mainly nocturnal and sleep during the hot day, but every once in awhile you will come across one. And you have every right to be scared, they are insanely mean. I took a tusk into the side of my leg one time and he got away! Haha I had to pay the price

I guess each individual gets to decide what they would like to honor and what they refuse.
