4+ on skinning. That skin is going to be way too tough to be worth anything. Unlike true ferral hogs, a russian boar actually has a cartelidge-near boney type of skin behind the shoulders, and it does not fold when skinning. It's hard as a rock. It is there to protect their innards from getting punctured when they fight. You care to eat something that is tough enough to keep a tusk from penetrating? I shot one of these guys 3 years ago on a turkey trip. Nailed it w/ the 7mm mag around 150 ish. No exit wound. I heard the bullet make a WHOP noise. The bullet stopped between the skin and the body on the opposite side. To this day I swear that whop was the sound of the bullet getting stopped by the hide. It was a very distictive sound I have NEVER heard before.
