[ARhogdogs]

tshelly hit it dead on. the cut marks are for that, someone else said something about seeing slobber, and piss. thats just like a buck deer makin scrapes and lickin branches. i walk hunted hogs for years before i got dogs learned everything from old timers around these parts and did a lot of research on hogs and their actions and movement. thats when i got hooked. such aan intelligent and elusive animal. gettin adrenaline pumpin just thinkin about it, back to topic, cuts in pines are to get sap flowing, they like the cresole poles
 help control those mites and ticks.

what everyone is missing is all the hogs rubbing especially big boars are rubbing to create calluses or however u spell it, also called a shield, which is to help them protect theirselves when fighting. just like our hands get rougher from hard labor they get it from rubbing.
