Im a lil off subject, In the area I live we have a assortment of hog types. The last couple of years it seemes we are getting more color, grays, red, red with spots, black with white front feet, and ect. but most are still black. Their is a large variation in them all, some older mature boars that only weigh maby 150, and others that may go 300. Some are short, some are tall, some short bodied,some long bodied, and some are long tall and thick. The head shape has a great deal of variation also, most of them do have longer snouts, but some are completely flat, with no or little rise in the head. Their is also a great difference, in feet and bone size, that is not equil to body size. Some have a great deal of long course hair on their back, while others dont. This summer we caught a smaller sow that was gray, with almost no hair on her whole body. A couple of weeks ago I caught a 220 boar that was a strawberry blond, he was sure pretty. Over the years we have caught a few boars, that had a tail like a Shetland pony. About 10 years ago I got into a group of hogs that, were very small, narrow, and agressive. I bayed around 20 hogs, and the old boars only weighed maby 100, 125lbs. When I sent in catch dog and he caught, several of them attacked the dog. One ran out about 40 yards and put me up a tree, and cut my boot sole! These hogs had no run in them and only wanted was a fight. I once found an area were I believed there was only one hog in the area, and from the size of his track I guessed him as really big, 300 up, and with him by himself maby a barr. When we caught him it was a single boar, didnt even weigh 175, but his feet and legs were huge. Another time I caught a group of what I believed, was all barron sows. The 3 I caught were red, and body size, should have weighed maby 125, but they were so fat they probally all went around 200lbs. The only thing that is consistant is that these hogs very seldom have much teeth, I dont no but I believe this is genetic, and due to the sandy soil in the area. I know a cow or horse's teeth wear more in the sand, so why not hog!
Where do you hunt at pard??
