I PM'd the guys you recommended. Hopefully for John's sake they will get back to me soon real soon! :D

You might be on to something Apex. They were both sows. Maybe they are getting waxed at the local mud wallow. It's mating season right now in Hawaii!

Nice hogs indeed, I am not sure about the hair thing, or the lack therof, but what BH's are you shooting, looks like you are getting some great entrance/exit holes.

Hey Jake,

Those were taken with 175 grain Razorcaps.

I should have known, I was using the 150 grn Razorcaps on my mule deer harvest this year, they do an excellent job!

Thanks alot

Ryan, If the skin is smooth like John's head then I wouldn't suspect an infectious condition like mange as that would cause a rash and bleeding sores from the intense itch. Could be a hormonal condition but probably it's just genetics. Checking with the local DNR may give you the answer.

John, Do you wax or buff that top...pretty impressive

Thanks Jeff,
Yea it didn't look like mange, and there wasn't any bleeding or sores. I'll just assume its genetics.
I did call a few guys at our local DLNR and they didn't have any answers.

Thanks guys!

I killed a coyote like that while turkey hunting a few years back. I took it to be "mange". Might not be correct spelling. Jeff Springer should be able to help if you can catch up with him. Poor critter needed to be taken out. I did him the favor. I would not think there would be a problem eating your pigs. I would just handle them with rubber gloves and rinse the meat asap.Good shooting and keep'um sharp.
