Ha ha Title: Re: Barrow Post by: maverick10 on July 21, 2013, 10:27:41 pm Hey rodeo I just took my maverick and twisted dog some other hunters invited us so I just took them too
Title: Re: Barrow Post by: Lance on July 21, 2013, 11:43:39 pm That hog is old !! Look at what is left of his front bottom teeth ! Good Barr !
Title: Re: Barrow Post by: cgasch on July 22, 2013, 08:38:41 am If it hadn't of been for Twisted we would have missed this hog!! I have been trying to get Mav to give him to me so I guess now I will be blowing hot air.
Several indications of age in a hog are; 1) Thickness of the teeth.As a hog ages his teeth will get show more mass. 2) Wear on his front teeth.This can be deceptive depending on the amount of food available. This particular ranch was solid prickly pear with a lot of ripe apples this time of year and the pigs love them.The drought has been severe in this part of the state until recently and the pigs have had to hustle to eat. 3) calcification of the rib attachment. as a hog ages the cartilage attachment of the rib to the backbone begins to calcify( This is not exactily what happens but is close) . That is why you can cut the ribs off with a knife on a young hog and you have to use a saw on an old one. Needles to say I had to use a saw on this one. UD- That is why I take these young whipper- snappers hunting wih me.They can drag the hogs out to the truck so I can keep eating. I am getting a little long in the tooth myself! ;) ;) ;) Title: Re: Barrow Post by: reatj81 on July 22, 2013, 10:37:16 am Nice hog!
And just think of all the debate why would someone Barr a hog! That's why!!! Title: Re: Barrow Post by: TShelly on July 22, 2013, 04:07:09 pm Nice job maverick! He's a good one boys
