Aloha All,

Just had a couple pics of the last few nice set of hooks we got with the dogs and just wanted to share. If I posted these already I apologize been crazy with work and I know I havent been on in awhile.

Hope you enjoy the pics....Aloha, Dom









Heres a crazy one a friend of mine caught he weighed only around 50-60 lbs soak and wet LOL! But had a nice set of ivory friend had him full body mounted =)

Dang, Dom! Those are incredible!!

Now them are Cutters...


What the heck do they eat over there....Rocks? just wondering...

Dom:
Is that a runt, or why would a pig that small have such hooks as those?
Don't seem like it could be a young pig with teeth that big. Anything you can tell to help some of us beginners to learn a bit more?
Thanks much,
George

Their hogs don't get that big. Small bodied, but they've got cutters that a hog four times the size would be proud to wear. Crazy!

thanks Whit, had me wondering.

Dom-

THANKS for sharing the photos. Those are some impressive cutters!!! It's rare to see anything even close to those around here.

We don't see them like that here either -- unfortunately!

Aloha Dom,
You always seem to get the ones with the big teeth. Most interesting 3rd pic from the top. It appears that the pig had a busted or deformed lower jaw. Both cutters appear to be on one side.

Good going braddah.

Aloha George,

Yes, he most certainly was a runt for sure. His teeth showed him to be very old indeed. Genetics I believe has some play in it as polynesian pigs werent very big body wise but had large tusk for their size.

Aloha,

Dom

Thanks for the comments guys works been keeping me in the mountains so been outta touch for a bit.

Swifter- they love to eat rocks makes their tusk grow longer LOL! Nah jus kidding the rock was used as a prop to hold his mouth open =)

Howzit Unko Geoff- Hope all is well with you! That pic is actually a side on pic just slightly back angling forward to get both tusk in the pic.

WOW are those Oahu pigs? Nice choppers!
Last time I saw pigs like that were Kaupo, Maui and Laupahoehoe, Hawai'i.

Howzit HH yeah all these boars was taken on Oahu

Heres a pic of the boar we hooked up on Fathers Day it was a good fathers day present LOL!!!



Aloha
