king4wd Report post Posted May 11, 2010 This one came through a couple of times. I got pics of some of his friends and they don't have the same bald spots. Almost looks like mange but I don't thing pigs can get it. Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I've seen that bald spot on them while field dressing them, but this one has bald spots on the side and up around the neck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think that bald spot is much to worry about. I have seen them fairly bald around that part of the body before. Maybe it's a female and the males like her a LOT..... But maybe there is some javelina biologist who would know better.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DUG Report post Posted May 11, 2010 It's almost like a molt. Someone from G&F told us this a long time ago. They will have bare spots from time to time. Also will see them with flaky skin sometimes too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
