Search For Albino Hogs Succeeds?

Wild hogs are endlessly fascinating.

Whether you love to hunt them or simply despite their existence, there is no question these animals are intelligent, voracious and have survival ability unlike any other large animal.

Want to learn about hogs that attack? Don’t miss this episode of Dark Outdoors.

Feral hogs come in many colors from the standard black to red and blonde.

UPDATE

Over the last year we have been reaching out to hunters trying to see if anyone has killed a true albino hog. While we can’t verify that is one was an albino, it is the whitest hog we have seen.

“This is probably not albino but pretty white. It was killed by my son Karson Lester in Lavaca County in 2019. It was his first rifle kill,” Ken Lester.

Is This An Albino Hog?

We have recently photographed some white feral hogs in Southeast Texas and had some photos of large white boars and sows sent in to Texas Fish & Game over the years.

We are currently looking for any photos (or video) from game cameras or you posing with the carcass of an albino feral hog-if they exist in the wild.

The first person to submit a firsthand photo of a genuine pink-eyed albino hog will receive a signed copy of my book Hog Wild.

There are probably some albinos out there and we would like to see them.

We would also like to see any photos of white hogs (whether albino or not) and those with the blonde color phase.

Send photos to cmoore@fishgame.com.

A white feral hog photographed in a pasture in Southeast Texas. This photo was taken during the summer and the hog had very little hair. What it did have was white, mainly on the tips of its ears and top of back. It was hanging with a sounder of black, white and red-colored hogs. (Photo by Chester Moore)
