How does one identify a boar vs sow at 200 yards

Do you pull the trigger and hope it is a male?

I’ve looked up the differences and try judging boar or sow when watching hunting videos and I still guess wrong after half the time so I’d like to know too

Build of body. Length of body and legs. Shape and length of head and snout. Behavior. Lots of time studying bears.

Exactly guys that hunt from stands and can watch the bears on bait will have a lot of time. They look at wrists as well sows have dainty wrists and a boar of size will have almost a strait thick wrist to the pad where the sows have a inward taper and neck down.

A lot of the mid sized bears are very hard to judge. The big boars look just rugged and matcho to me and the bigger sows still look dainty with there face and eye set.

The one in back or on top is probably the boar.

Much easier in the spring time, the boars usually have their nose up the sows butt.  Look for the second bear walking behind.

My limited experience is looking at their ears in conjunction with their heads. Boars will have lower ears compared to sows and ears look smaller compared to their domes.

Big bottoms and smaller shoulders. Streamlined almost wedge shape from head to rump on sows. Board gave much larger shoulders and neck in comparison to their rumps.

I’ve seen me do it

If no cubs, I could care less boar or sow. It’s dead.

Look for them child rearin’ hips!!

That’s easy. The boar is usually lounging, dipping pretzel sticks in queso dip and the gal is normally looking stern and telling the boar to pick up after himself
