I was fortunate to get a shot on this guy in mid November while he was running out of the woods where I get to hunt.

Nice! Congrats! One less to worry about. Looks pure Russian to me?

Same crap I have. That is pure buzzard feed.
To me, those big boars stay in the woods to feed everything else once shot.

Believe it or not, I've made some REALLY tasty hams from these big bastards. Also, the backstrap taste just fine but can be a pita depending on the shield. NOT sme zipcode as deer backstrap taste, but you can work with it

I leave em for the buzzards as well. Rats of the woods as far as I'm concerned

I admit I don't know much about wild hogs since we don't have em up here, yet. I just know that boar sure don't look nothin like those spotted Poland Chinas we raised when I was growin up. All of them black wild boars look like pure Russian boars to me.

I remember encountering them in the 90's in Texas and people thought we were crazy.
Then the show hog bomb said that in fact quite a few Russian Boars were imported for trophy hunts and they managed to breed with the sows since they were so much badder than the regular old boars we used to have.
Basically it confirmed that what we have now is probably 15/16ths Russian breed, with the remaining 1/16 being what we called "piney woods rooters".
I haven't seen a true piney woods rooter in a decade or more...

I would think that if you switched those proportions that you would be closer to the truth. Any "Russian" boars (please notice the quotes), which would be some introduced hogs which came much, much later that the established feral herds have had their genetics swallowed up by the resident population.

wouldn't leaving them attract coyotes?
