Actually, I think a lot of the problem eating old boars relates to the big pair of things hanging on their rear ends. If they were castrated along the way it would make a big difference. You try to fry up some old boar in your kitchen and it can almost drive you out of the house. I guess it you soaked it for a long time, brined it and whatever it could possibly become palatable, but it would be a lot of work and may or may not work well enough.
I do keep boars up to about 100 lbs., and they are just fine for eating...and the sows are good at about any size.
