In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat Olive Oil from the Vegetables group over medium-high heat.
Season Wild Boar from the Boar group with Salt and Black Pepper from the Seasoning group. Brown the boar in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Set aside.
Add Yellow Onion, Carrots, and Celery from the Vegetables group to the pot and cook until softened, about 8-10 minutes.
Add Garlic from the Vegetables group and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Deglaze the pot with Dry Red Wine from the Liquid group, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
Return the browned Wild Boar to the pot. Add Crushed Tomatoes, Beef Broth, Dried Oregano, Dried Thyme, and Red Pepper Flakes from the Liquid and Seasoning groups.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 2 hours, or until the boar is very tender. Stir occasionally.
Serve over pasta, polenta, or mashed potatoes.
