New Hog At Feeder
This hog first came in night of 6 Feb. Now its coming in every night. That hog may be a barrow. For sure its a big hog: The t-post is five feet tall.
The trap is out being renovated. It will be returned tomorrow. |

Looks like he has some Russian blood lines. Hope the trap works.

That the post is 5' tall isn't very helpful given that the post is some distance behind the hog and the camera shot is from an angle lower that the hog. It makes it look like the hog is much bigger than it actually is - forced perspective. It looks to be a good-sized hog, but using the post for perspective isn't a good comparison for scale.

But then i'm not convinced this hog is a boar. It has no tusks. |

It probably has "no" tusks because it isn't that old of a boar. By equal comparison, you could say it doesn't look to be a sow because it has no obvious teats and a sow that large should have been pregnant and nursed several times by now.

Example: In November, 2008 i shot two huge sows that had Eurasian boar blood. One field dressed 212 pounds the other 188 pounds: The biologist aged both hogs at four years old. One was pregnant, neither had ever nursed a litter. |
