I guess I might fit that catagory,
back in the 70's when coon were 30 an $40 dollars a piece I didnt leave many and most all doubles during the peak of the rut were both boars. Sows very seldom get very far away from the den during the rut.She is picky and her best defense to fight off unwanted boars is in her den, she has no need to run, the boars will seek her out.
If you would have shot the top one during the peak rut it would have been a boar also most of the time.
I am not sure why a boar would ever stay down low in the tree.
Now in another 6 weeks or so if a coon is down low it will most likely be a sow, they are carrying there young so they dont want to climb to high and she will most likely be huging the main trunk of the tree. During this period if the coon is higher and out away from the main trunk you can about bet it is a boar as a rule of thumb
