OK, here's my theory. When his ears were torn off, the wound got a nasty infection that eventually got into the bone and deteriorated it. The pics still don't do it justice but here they are.
No bullets, broadheads, or imbedded teeth like you guys were hoping for but no amount of Tylenol is gonna help this headache.

So all that discoloration and the top part of the skull is hard/calcified?
Yeah, I'd say that pig was begging for a bullet.

The discoloration is just grease in the bone. It's been soaking in degreaser and just isn't done yet.

Nasty.
Holy canoli! Thats some funky looking stuff. Its going to be quite a conversation peice for sure. I have no idea if he was deaf or blind. Ron Gayer photographs all over the Tejon, and he's the one that sent me the photos. From the looks of it, the pig looked like he was very functional, but thats just looking at pics. I'll dig through my e-mails and see if I can find the other pics. When I shot him, he was bedded in a muddy creek bottom. It was fairly breezy with the wind from him to me and I was in full sneek mode trying to get close to him. Turns out I may have been able to run up to him and knife him if he was deaf and blind
At the shot (which was a quartering away double lunger) he jumped up VERY fast and ran about 25 yds. and piled up in sight. It amazes me that he had that kind of stuff going on in his head and was still alive!!
BTW, we've scarfed down some of his sweet italian sausage and boy is it fine!!
Thanks a bunch for the pics Scott!

xmortician,
That must be Tony Alvis (RIP) that you are talking about. A friend of mine is now doing the pack trips that Tony used to do. The ranch you mentioned has a few hogs from time to time down by the river. There is another ranch behind the one you mentioned that a friend of mine got a nice 300lb. boar. There is some good hunting in the area, it's just a matter of knowing the right people. Unfortunately, I don't know those people........yet.

I think it's rather obvious what happened. He must have been a married pig, had a wifey pig that just nagged his ear off. He was probably tryin to camoflauge himself with mud so she couldn't find him when he saw a man with a gun and an easier way out. I don't know whether to sympathize or be jealous.
