Wild boar, or wild sow? In domestic pigs intended for slaughter, the males are castrated when a few days old in order to keep their meat from developing a gamey flavor. (Ask Iowa senator Joni Ernst if you want to learn how to develop that skill.) I could imagine wild boar meat would be inedible. But aside from that, diet will also impact the flavor if the meat. A diet heavy in acorns will probably add a pronounced pungency, for instance.
Absolutely nothing like the sweet tasty pig you get from the store.
