Pig Hunting???

[GrumpyTheSnake]

This is probably a really strange place to ask this question... but ... what the hell!!

Is there any pig hunters amongst us?? And if there are... what's your best chasing story?
And of course.. ....if we're allowed to post them...... any cool piccies that aren't too gory for this site?

I found some wild pigs last week while herping , does that count, wasnt able to destroy them though, shame.

 

[GrumpyTheSnake]

LOL. My hubby and his mates are all mad into pig hunting. All the stories that they come back with are hilarious. I'd love to go ..even just once.

I never realised how much damage these animals did until I started talking to some of the larger property owners. No wonder they want them eradicated!!

BACON BUSTER ONLINE!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, and love it. Started with rifles when I was younger, progressed to bows later as my accuracy and confidence grew, even went out a few times with a mate from the pistol club (usually not viewed as legal but just as humane as a rifle, especially considering we were both right into target pistol comps at that point.).

I found a bunch of wild one's last week on a research trip (research/herping, lol) as well, but they dissapeared pretty fast (and we were in the rainforest, so no chance of catching them.)
I've got a few good stories, but it would take too long to type them out and Im sure they would lose ALOT on the translation. All I can say is bowhunting by moonlight (fullmoon, no torches/spotlights) in seasonal wetlands that are still boggy, with blind corners and reed banks is a real addrenaline hit.

I just bought my hubby a new DVD called Bristle Busters. It's 3 discs and he loves it!!! Packed full of action. You should check it out Rednut. If you like the bow hunting .. there's another one..uummm... Hogs of Oz II or Busting Big Boars.. one of them has alot of bow hunting.

I know some people have a problem with killing animals, I used to be one of them before I moved out of the city. When you live on the land.. you soon realise that some wildlife just isn't all cute and fuzzy... they just need to be eradicated!!

Yeah, never really watched the videos much, I prefer to be outiside when its at all possible (I may or not be hyperactive.........), but thanks for the heads up. :lol:

LOL, they might be feral, but they're not wildlife and are strichtly protected...........

Again, just cause I could.........



That covers about 300 acres of a single wetland towards the end of the dry season.....which is the entire wetland.....:?

[GrumpyTheSnake]

Nope... they're a big property pest too.

LOL, Im not gonna touch that for a little while yet, hahaha...I don't believe in taking natives for sport myself, but I do know that it gives me the shtz when people get up me about hunting when they don't understand my reasons or motivation. (thats not a swing at you chris, thats just me explaining why Im not going off the handle right not :lol

LOL, take the dogs outa the equation, knock the odds back into the pigs favour a bit.......

 

[GrumpyTheSnake]

Tojo... that's how my hubby does it. Can't say I've seen that one yet.. but if that's what you like.. go the Bristle Busters... just type it into yahoo, you'll find it.


Rednut.. I know what you mean. As I said earlier.. I didn't understand it when I was living in the city.... it's only since I've lived on property, and also most of my friends have working properties, that I fully understand the way it is.
