djones, after seeing your editing skill, I am never trusting one of your photos again!



Being alone and size are not very diagnostic of age. They can be alone at 8-15 months. I have shot a lot of hogs that were 180-220 lbs that were less than 2 years of age based on tooth wear. Your hog may be fully grown, despite not being huge. The cutters are not terribly diagnostic of age either, different nutrition and genetics affecting their growth rate. I can't say I have seen a 2 year old with cutters like that, however, so I would say he was definitely over 2, but how much over 2 is really hard to say without seeing the rest of the teeth. He could be 5 or 6.

Hmm. Interesting. I plan to have the skull bleached. If I find a place with decent prices. I'll get some detailed pics then for ya.

A picture of the chewing surfaces of both the upper and lower cheek teeth (molars and premolars) would be most beneficial for giving some idea of age.
