Double Naught Spy

This week produced an interesting hunt with two atypical hogs. I mentioned the mulefoot sow first, only because I think she is the more interesting of the two. Feral mulefoot hogs are not very common and I only know of a few people that have shot or trapped them, but I also feel like a lot of hunters have probably killed them and not noticed the feet or realize that they may have hogs with unusual feet.
The other hog was a boar missing his whetter and so his cutter was growing unabated. On top of that, he was a smaller boar, but had well developed cutters for his size. Not all older boars are necessarily great big hogs.
Warning: There is a bunch of blood (particularly from the sow) and necropsy work (boar) as I am looking at the terminal performance of the ammo I am using. The Speer TNT bullet is considered to be a varmint round, but it has proven to do well on hogs, at least at hunting distances inside 200 yards.
