Nearly a month ago, this earless woolly mammoth looking boar started coming around looking for girlfriends. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/oK9J26f.png) He found some a couple nights ago. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/B2xiQEz.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/tQNEJkM.jpg) Was going to sit in my pig blind and wait for them, but they beat me to it, and I had to stalk around with my shooting sticks, staying downwind. Set up and shot him at a bit past 100 yards. Yep. No ears atall!  One bottom cutter was broken off. Top tusks were bad to the bone long. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/UMMcuKn.jpg) I hung him and weighed him this morning. What is your guess? How much does he weigh, ungutted, hanging there?![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/8QDHJcs.jpg) Close up of the ears... Both sides smooth with just the inner ear in the middle. (with a 30 caliber hole behind it...  ) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/B6ZkAKS.jpg)
What's he weigh??

I shot one last night around 9 under the green light. Mine was smaller and had ears. Buzzards and coyotes had him halfway eaten up this morning. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/8zfHMZZy/91-B76-B91-29-CF-4-FD3-AF83-D61172-BB43-FD.jpg)

The old board I kill here are usually covering in Double Mountain Fork of the Brazos mud. And fleas. Drag the nasty ole bastards off and shoot varmints and other hogs off of them. Only butcher young sows to eat and that’s not very often nowadays. Little brother likes to shoot the very youngest he can find and roast them whole over a “spit”. I prefers store bought pork chops & bacon nowadays. 😬
