[Sca-cooks] shopping for wild boar

[Sam Wallace]

Henry,

In the US, most states allow processing plants to sell unclaimed game
for cost. None that I am aware of are allowed to do so for more than
they charge hunters for processing the meat. Such businesses are
regulated and registered. You should be able to find a list on your
state's game and fish department or equivalent. Be aware that deer
processing and pork processing may be licensed seperately. This may be
the case for other species, but these are the two with which I am most
familiar. As the typical case is the hunter killed the animal and
turned it over to the processor to butcher to spec, you get what you
get as far as the cuts and preparation available.

Yours,

Guillaume

> But the shipping is a bit expensive, and small orders are out of the question. What else is out there? And might there be any stores around PA, NJ, or NYC where I could buy my boar meat and transport it myself?

> BTW, while I would accept either, given a choice I would prefer real boar to feral pig.
