[QUOTE="Double Naught Spy, post: 1284738, member: 55410"] It is supposedly homozygous recessive trait meaning that it must be present in both the male and female parents and must match up. I can't find where it has been specifically studied for hogs, but that is what it is in most other cloven hooved animals when they are syndactyl. I was speaking with Glenn Guess. He has also killed two mulefoots which happen to have been within a few miles of where I have killed mine. Apparently, there was at least one rancher in the area historically that bred and raised mulefooted hogs. So it is his belief, and I would agree, that these are likely descendants of that operation (escapees? turned loose?). Either way, we have a concentration of them. People have reported them from numerous places across the south and along the east coast. So they are around and potentially killed and not noticed by hunters on many occasions. You have to be looking for the trait or really looking at their feet to take notice of it. Otherwise, it is easy to miss visually. [/QUOTE]
