Finally getting around to boiling my big spike from last year

[kwaynem]

I was home all day and messing around in the yard still can’t do much till I get cleared from the cardiologist the 30th I walked past an old shed and thought what the hell is that smell? It was the big spike I had skinned the head on but hadn’t had time to boil yet but I have time to now

Definitely needed taken out of the herd so it can't spread the genes.

How old was he?

I’m not sure the dam dog run off with his jawbone I was guessing 4 1/2 to 5 1/2

Post us a pic of the upper jaw.

He might be older than I think I never been good at reading a jaw

The right side is clearly worn more than the left, which is common to see one favored more than the other. Wear on the last molar indicates he’s 5 1/2, and the inside of the first molar is starting to dish so it’s very possible he’s 6 1/2.
