Haven’t hunted in a few weeks and decided to go. I believe two came in but the other didn’t stay around long. I think this one was a dominant boar. Decent size about 240lbs. Cutters aren’t huge, but I kept the skull and buried it. Now just have to wait and see what happens. Haven’t buried anything before. If anyone has any information on wait time just let me know.

Nice hog, the biggest I ever shot was 167 lbs dressed. I have to get south next spring, I am about out of wild pork sausage, Since I started making breakfast sausage from the fresh sausage in my freezer it has gone down fast. One 1 lb ring of sausage makes just enough breakfast sausage for a batch of sausage gravy.

Nice hog!!!
It is hard to assess dominance without actually witnessing particular behaviors (such as particular scent marking traits or order of copulation). It is a larger hog, but that alone isn't what establishes dominance. The same for sows. The largest sows are not necessarily the lead sows either.
