pig hunting

[6ftpythonsgirl]

I got one with a 303 the other day, but that's only because I saw it before the dogs got to it, usually when using dogs they will get there first and you won't be able to shoot it without hitting your dog's so you have to stab them.

A 303 will go straight through a pig, quite effective in killing them, I wouldn't go any smaller then a 223

whats kind of dogs you using?

Who cares what colour you think you are.

It only matters if you're a decent human being

....and that you're good to your mother.

If your dogs are new at hunting, when you do get your first pig and gut it pull the blader out and get your dogs to taste the pee then tip it over them, it will help with tracking it the future

Yes it can be a pain finding them, I had to kill a pig in the middle of a swamp the other day that was about neck deep, about an hour after that we saw a croc in a creek that ran into the swap. That trip was the biggest adventure of my life. We got three pigs we were lost for about 3 hours and we got attacked by wasps about 20 times, oh and there was a big storm, we thought we were going to have to spend the night out there.

to sell pigs you must be acredited, you need stainless racks and running water on your vehicle, your dogs must be housed so they cannot touch the carcus, there cannot be bites on the pigs body they must be dressed to standard. thats the regs that i can remember off the top of my head. You need to sell a hell of alot of pigs before you even start to make any money most of the year at the boxes i know of they pay about 40-50 cents a kilo up to 50 kilo and around 50-70 cents for over 50 kilo.

Don't use dogs, just stalk and shoot. It is far more rewarding. Just make sure the shots count. Never leave an animal injured. Find it and fix it.

Here are a few sites for you to look at:
