I am told wild hogs are very gamey like all wild life but more so. ...
That hasn't been my experience with hogs, or any other animals.
Wild Game should never EVER have a "gamey" flavor. That "flavor" comes from the out-gassing of bacteria. The bacteria begins to attack the meat as soon as the animal dies. The bacteria must be killed as soon as possible to prevent this. Killing the bacteria is done by cooling the meat - preferably at or near freezing - as fast as possible. This is where most hunters ruin their meat. They are too busy taking pictures, wasting precious minutes. Meanwhile, the meat is going down the "gamey" road.
"Gamey" flavored meat - is a failure of the Hunter. Nothing else.
Our house eats nothing but wild game. I won't eat "gamey" flavored meat. ... it's my worst nightmare, when someone invites me over for dinner, knows I'm a hunter, and says, "we cooked deer meat for you, from the deer that Charlie got last year" ... I won't eat it because it tastes like s***.
Most people at my house never know they're eating Wild Game meat (deer, elk, hog, bear, etc). The conversation usually goes like this, "This meat is Amazing! Where did you buy it?" ...
I de-bone an animal the moment it hits the ground. The meat then goes directly into the chest freezer that's sitting in my truck/camp. The freezer is run by a small generator. I do the "processing" of the meat at home, some days/weeks later - at my leisure.
