I know folks who do just that. Some public lands don't allow dogs and hogs are still hunted or walked up. They are easier to stalk than deer.

Sorry. Ed, I thought I had you on ignore. BUT. , the dogs "don't tear them to pieces". One dog grabs the snout and another the tail or testicles which immobilizes the hog.then the hunter shoots or knifes the hog.

Boy,
I'd think going out pig hunting would be fantastic fun.
I had heard that there were some wild pigs up here in NH.
A google confirmed this just now.
Anyone know about NH wild pigs?....I will look into this.
Shooting a round ball..I wonder what's the best boar,..10 or 12 perhaps smile?
I'm sure it's no fun to have them so numerous as to be a pest, but it sure sounds like exotic fun from here...Sooeeiyyy

Why don't you go post that on the PETA BBS. And while you are over there you can take some of that money you have made selling guns to the members of this BBS and other hunters and make a donation to PETA. Maybe it will salve your conscience. I know you must feel horrible about all those hunters out killing game birds with the guns you sold them.



I am glad to be here.

GLS - Thank you for that. Are they hunting in Georgia or can this be done in Texas as well? I loved still-hunting for deer in the "Old Country" (Pennsylvania) and still do it on occasion here in the West (with an old 1886 in .33 Winchester).

The dog stuff sounds exciting but....it's not what I had in mind.

It's a lot more likely to be the other way around, with your dogs getting cut up and sometimes killed.

We don't use dogs. It's pretty much spot-and-stalk, with lots of glassing from the hillsides. This one took the first shot in his right shoulder from a .300 Win Mag at about 225 yards. He got up and shook it off. Follow-up shots were .300 Win Mag and .25-06, eight shots total (all hits) and not a single bullet penetrated to the vitals. Tough SOB. He weighed 265 and the cutters were 4"+. Some guys around here hunt these with handguns, but not this kid. Reasonably big by CA Central Coast standards, and still good eating.

The big hogs have a thick gristle
Plate over thr shoulder area
So a lot of energy cartridge is needed. The big one hanging I shot behind the ear at about 90 yds which is the preferred place if you have the proper shot

Still working on the pic for the previous post, but I had to shoot this one on the move before he got into cover. Needed to lead him like a dove at that range and figured the boiler room was the best shot location.
