Alpo Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 IN THE BOOK They are hunting in Germany, and the jagermeister reminds them that only mature boar can be taken. Mature should not really be a problem. Big. But how do you tell a boar from a sow? You know, when they're running through the woods. With deer, you can tell a buck from a doe by the antlers. And you can tell most game birds - cocks from hens - by the coloring. But is there an easy way to sex a pig at a distance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stump Water Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) The front shoulders & head of boars are a lot bigger than sows. If you see them in a bunch there will be no doubt which is a "mature boar". ETA: Think of it like this... in a herd of polled Herefords or Blank Angus cattle you can tell which one is the bull.

Alpo Posted April 14 Author Share Posted April 14 Maybe if they are running uphill in the desert. As a general rule, my eyes are much higher off the ground then a pig's dingleballs. So if I'm watching him run away, I would be seeing the top of his butt. And if there's any type of underbrush ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
