I use to turn a good bit of hogs aloose around the house and would see some later on that looked very similar and their ears would be gone from rotting off especially in the summer time when the blow flies are bad. It would be a smooth place where their ear use to be like it was surgically removed. About two weeks ago a guy killed a nice boar in a corn field about 10 miles from my house that was missing one ear and half the other ear and I know I haven't turned any loose without any ears in a long time but some have got out of my pen somehow that I knew would prob loose their ears

Mr Bennett maybe that was just roaming the area passing through and I'm sure it's a few people from that area that read your post and appreciate the heads up.
