nice pig , i never hunt with dogs because im a bow hunter but the luggers are the ones that bring them back or attack them and the bailers are the ones that keep em in the same spot.
Hope you know that it is still illegal to use dogs to get pigs, your only allowed finders not holders. If i posted a photo of snake hitting live rat id get slaughtered but you post a picture of a vicious dog attacking a pig. Other than that the photo of your dad is great only way to hunt them in my book at least you give your game a sporting chance unlike guns that you can shoot from 100 yards or dogs that catch pig for you at least with bow you do the hard yards and sneak to within stones throw shows your dad is truly a hunter and not just a good shot
things like this do my head in.
now watch me get slaughtered.
i take it you eat meat yes? well how is that lamb you roasted the other day given a sporting chance in the slaughtered room?
you say shooting with a rifle and/or shotgun isnt giving a sporting chance.
now lets have a look at somethings.
most of the game people hunt have alot of things on there side, speed for one. the knowledge of the enviroment for two, three most of their senses are alot better than ours.
i doubt if i posted a picture of that nice big snapper i caught you grill me. whats the difference, in reality hunting/shooting is a lot more humaine than fishing. majority of fisherman catch a fish chuck it in a bucket, it cant breath it dies.. you hunt, fire the shot most times it will be over and done with in one shot, if not two and it takes all of a few seconds.
okay, i do agree pigging with dogs isnt my thing. i dont see such a big thrill in it. but! some people do, they love getting in amongst it. you have to remember, alot of the guys that pig with dogs get in there with the pig too, in which case they're putting themselves in halms way also.
this goes to everyone out there, especially those against deer because they're so beautiful and pretty. they're also the best tasting.
how can you say its not a sport, its alot harder than that footy game you took part in on saturday morning. you have to stalk something with sense 20 times better than yours. just to get your self in the position to take a shot is harder than most other things you'll ever do.
sorry for the rant and its not suppost to be offensive but i bottle this up all the time and it has to come up every now and again.
