To each their own, but each star a boar has doubles the drops, aside from trophies. No star boars? Yeah, better off hunting. Two star boars? Depends on how much boar drops you want, and whether you prefer spending a little extra time hunting vs the long-term investment of putting together a farm.

Two-star Boars might be worth the merit; provided, you can find one. But I just can't stand the hassle of attempting to move boars, since they can't be set to follow the player, and to make matters worse, other mobs can kill said boars. Even two-star boars only have thirty health, making them little more than cannon fodder against even Black Forest hostiles.
