I never actively hunted pig but in my younger bar days a bagged a couple.

Every sow I have ever shot was good to eat.
Every boar I killed over 100 was pretty strong but the backstraps were tasty.
The BIGGEST thing about hogs is to remove the gland sacks and not get them into your ground meat. There are a couple in the front and back and they look like little packs of grapes. Get rid of them or you will wish you had.

My experience is pretty much the same. I usually won't shoot a boar at all or a sow over 150#. I shot quite a few and only one was really not fit to eat (a big boar around #300)
