Albino wild pig

[XDHUNTER]

A friend of mine send me a picture of the pig he shot last week end at Parkfield.
Saw a couple when i hunted his place couple of years ago,this is the first time he shot a pure one.
So if you hunt Parkfield and see one dont be alarm its not a ghost:rotflmao:
and shoot it.

I've seen a few blond ones up there too. My favorite are the big old silver or gray looking boars. I've never killed one but I've seen a few pictures of ones that were killed on a ranch I hunt. Cool looking hog!

I shot one of those pure silver color hog at camp bob a few years ago. There were about 10 pigs in the herd and three of them were silver. I thought they must've been very stressed out to get those silver/grey hairs.

I also got a few seconds glance at a bright blonde hog on Cummings Mtn. Never saw it again. And yes I thought it was a ghost. The Patrolman saw it again two days later but didn't get a shot at it as well.

When I was growing up in the Philippines............lots of our neighbors were raising backyard domestic pigs for a little extra income. Funny but all of them raised only blonde domestic pigs. I guess it was because it was easier to see if there was flea infestation.

I have shot a few blonde ones but never a pure white one.
A few years ago a herd of 20 - 30 mainly white hogs came into town every night until F&G trapped em all.

true albino? or a white hog?

tuff growing up all white in a brown and green world. great hog!

 

[BelchFire]

Right on, sancho; on both counts.

A true albino should have pink eyes and a pink nose. That nose looks colored to me.

It's still a cool color and a hog I'd be glad to shoot! :thumbs up:

XD,

Your phone is not picking up. You Tiger Woods now?

Someone I know shot the pig.

Like Larry said, its now all white pig is in P.I.? Wild ones of course are still black.

Most, if not all the wild pigs in California are euro/feral with a hint of the domestic swine traits. I am guessing if the pigs don't have the pink eyes and noses then their white/silver coloring is probably a throw-back from the American Yorkshire or some type of Landrace breed. Either way, really nice looking pig. Those whites, spotted, and calicos are always a nice change of scenery from the normal black....

Seems like when they are small they have alot of white and pink noses, but soon the color pigmentation kicks in. I have seen all kinds of color combinations other than just black...
