I don't hunt any more but there was a time when I woulda said yes.

Sooo, instead, here's a story...

My Bro was in Germany at CFB 3wing. He went to the Yankee PX. He bought a model 100 Win 308 (cited as the best brush gun ever by some but I still prefer a dirty thirty - yes, I KNOW the Browning 308 BLR is MAYbe better but the gold trigger? gimmie a fuckin break, eh?) because the serial number was the date of his birthday and he bought a second one cause he got a deal on two.

So, he was an International skeet shooter of note and he knew a lot of people. One was a game warden in The Black Forest. He gave him a 308... Germans could not buy at the PX and could not easily buy guns (for some strange reason >;-) ). The warden wanted to do Bro a favour... big stag and boar were requested. The stag, no. Boar hunting, cool.

So, they are in a tree and Bro has a Remington 1100 20ga semi with 5 one ounce onboard. They are waiting for a particular boar when CARL comes out of NOwhere and attacks the tree. Reaction? All five. The warden is freaked. Carl was the alpha boar. HUGE pig.

Now, one may ask how the fuck the warden got out of that one. No problem. There wasn't any more than a wee bit of blood on the bumper of the Bug when the insurance adjuster looked at it.

Big BBQ at the next skeet shoot.

If I was huntin anymore, I'd love to go but you just send me pics of the BBQ and I'll have to be satisfied. And, stay safe on accounta I hear them pigs is nastier than a b'ar and I kin tall ya lotsa b'ar stories.

Gnu, help me out here. Your brother bought two guns of a particular type. Then he goes boar hunting but he has a different gun. A boar shows up. Your brother shoots it. The boar apparently becomes dead. This appears to a be a problem, although, since this is supposed to be a boar hunt, and the game warden has authorized it, it isn't clear why. Your bro and his pals have a BBQ pork dinner. I'm not a hunter, but I'm pretty sure I could grasp the point of your story if you could explain it slowly and with not too many syllables.

Subject: RE: BS: Hey lets go hog huntin
From: gnu

Yeah, it was a boar hunt and the warden took him because Bro gave him a gun. Bro used a shotgun (Remington... as I said... Bro and the other team members were given FOUR Remington 1100s eachb to shoot on the European circuit and they ALL DIED... after one shoot he and the lads used their cars and chains to wrap the barrels of their shotguns around the lamp posts in the parking lot in protest). I don't see that as a problem. Shooting the wrong boar is a BIG problem. Ya don't shoot the big Daddy. He is the one who makes more BIG boars.

In a nutshell... ya don't eat the animals with the most meat on em... ya breed em and sell em. BBQ the small, eh?

Olddude, you're kidding, right? From what I read, these animals are smart, elusive, dangerous and inedible. If you get a big one, you have to hire a backhoe and dig a huge hole to bury it in.

That's in Texas. Other places, you might need to get a landfill permit.

Why don't you lads just get together and play banjos? Maybe while jumping out of airplanes.

Get tired of the beaches in Hawai'i? Hog Hunting a big thing there.

Two kinds, the European Boar (only the Big Island, slopes of Mauna Kea, etc., not common), and the smaller Polynesian pig (the one in the luau). Also domestic pigs gome wild.
There are crosses and some of these can be pretty big.

Wild cattle also can be dangerous.
http://hawaiiboarhunters.ning.com/profile/Oxrkh89co1rsq

On Moloka'i, taking the mules down to Kalaupapa, one of our skinners called a halt and took off into the bush. He came back lugging a Polynesian pig in a sack. Said he would take it home and fatten it.
They are fine tasting when prepared by a good cook and not sloppily done at a tourist luau.
That ride down the 1700 foot almost sheer drop to the old leper colony and back is a nice all day trip. Amazing scenery.

One can hunt them on the Parker Ranch, but the charges are pretty steep. -

Subject: RE: BS: Hey lets go hog huntin

Wild cattle are very dangerous!
For many years, cattle brought to the Big Island ran wild, until the ranchers killed most of them. They were first brought there by Captain Vancouver, and by 1850 there were estimated to be 25,000 free roaming longhorns.
They killed careless paniolos and anyone else who got too close, wrecked villages, and probably killed the scientist David Douglas (the Douglas fir named for him).

A hunt for one at the Parker ranch costs about $2500, and includes paniolos with rifles for safety.

Thanks for the clarification, gnu. I'm surprised that shotguns were the weapon of choice for wild boar in Germany. I would have expected rifles. Are the German boars smaller than Texas boars? I definitely would not to after one those southern beasts that with a spear. Maybe that's a silly question. Isn't everything bigger in Texas?

Any wild boar I've ever tasted did not taste like regular pork. the taste was richer, and wouldn't be bad with a decent red wine.

Is there any problem with parasites with wild boars in the U.S?

When you wanna do this thang? Got a site picked out? Maps would be nice. We could grid them off in squares 25 meters or yards on a side, give 'em letter and number codes, and use a big-ass four-deuce mortar for a shootin' ahrn. Several of 'em, in fact. Shoot game and prepare the firewood at the same time.

Or (and I think this would be best) we send Bobert out with his wild boar call ("SUUUUUUU-EEEEEEEEEE-pig-pig-pig!") and when one of them 500 pound dudes with twelve inch tusks comes runnin' at Bobert (who is drenched in "Sow In Heat" scent) he sticks it with his patented boar spear. There me and olddude pop out of the bushes and help with dispatching the boar and patching Bobert, if he's got any Iron City left. If Bobert misses with his patented boar spear he might enjoy the encounter what follows but I doubt it.

Hi, Rap. The only clue so far to the location is "Iron City Beer." I googled it, and it's made in Pittsburgh, PA. I never would have suspected that there are wild boars in Pittsburgh, PA. Pittsburgh, KS maybe...

Of course, if there are boars in Pittsburgh, they should be easy to hunt, since they don't have the cover they enjoy in the Texas hill country.

(Say, have you ever read Bill Crider's mystery stories set in the Texas hill country? The characters in them could be soul brothers to you guys.)

But my real reason in posting is to give y'all the idea of dropping out of an airplane and shooting the wild pigs on your way down. That way the pigs would never hear or smell you coming. This method would be less dangerous than rubbing Bobert with pheromones -- that is, it would be less dangerous if you survive the jump. You'd have to be real careful not to shoot each other, I guess.

Let us all know how it works out with the BBQ and the parasites.

When yer on a huge cock and it's drummin and yer movin in 20 to 40 feet between shows and you see it drummin on a stump at the edge of a HUGE copse of one-by-ones strew with fallen pine logs covered with moss (fer even a master Ruffed Grouse hunter*, that situation is an. "Ohhhh, fuck me!") the LAST FUCKIN thing ya wanna do is PUMP! Why not just stand up and fuckin frolic?... HELLO BIG COCK! FLY AWAY BEFORE I SHOOT YOU!

Another thing... a 3" chamber? W T F? What the Jesus are ye gonna shoot in the brush woods here with THAT? And the shells cost a lot more. Ya gowan after geese in the beaver ponds? Use a fuckin 22 like the rest of us. Just learn how to shoot so tha wardens don't catch ya. Grow tha fuck up little boy!

Big guns and big shotguns suck.

*Yup. Kinda proud of it, too. My Native is "Finesse". Why, I can call trout to the hook. No shit. I can. Ask me about calling trout with an axe some time. I gotta grab another old trut.

When I worked there the backcountry rangers in the Great Smoky Mountain Natl. Park carry guns and shoot any wild boar they encounter in the park. It wasn't something they mentioned to the general public, but carcasses were dragged away from trails, camps, etc. They are destroying the area and breeding prolifically.

SRS...there are a number of animals that are just plain nasty. Years ago, those were "taken out" with extreme prejudice as a matter of course. Nowadays, people in cities pontificate and fund-raise against such practices. Unwise in many cases for a myriad of reasons.

I mean, racoons and skunks are cute but they'll kill ya. 1000 pound pigs that eat people? Yeah, shoot em. But don't shoot any tigers! They are cute and they are in movies and kids have tiger puppets... I've never seen a pig puppet. Miss Piggie don't count.

If it ain't cute it ain't salvageable. Save the Madagascar vole? -- yeah, right. We've already wiped all but a very, very few specimens of Variola or Variola Vera out of existence and done it with malice aforethought. Baby harp seals are cute, katipos are not -- but katipos are endangered.

You think a .308, backed with a .357, would be sufficient firepower? I'm thinking maybe a frangible or a Black Talon type bullet -- boattail, of course, punching out at about 2,000 fps. Semi-auto, 10 round magazine.

You wanta to hunt the hog, Ol'ster, then be prepared to drive to Florida... Ya' see, Florida has miles and miles of nothingness filled with 'um... You won't have to hunt them... Nor will you need a gun... Just a beat old truck that you can use to run 'um over...

That's where the hogs are and where you ain't gonna have to pay some southern Georgia farmer to let you on his farm... You get into the innards of Florida and it's like, ahhhhh, nobody there...

How many hogs you want??? 10??? 50??? 2000???

Bring ammo...

"not a sport hunt"... that's the only kinda hunt I ever did 'cept once and it still bugs me now and then. I caught a dozen large speckled trout and released them while fly fishing in Labrador. It was against regulations to keep them but I STILL thought it was fun to catch and release them, as was the common practice.

Texas apparently is trying to fill Boberts order, although as usually they're a little behind.

They do have a new method for hunting hogs, though:

On Texas 130, road hogs are the feral kind

By Vianna Davila

The opening of the Texas 130 toll road extension went off without a hitch Wednesday, with no major collisions to speak of.

But when night fell, the wildlife came out.

Vehicles and animals collided at least three times somewhere along the 41-mile road that connects southern Austin to Seguin and boasts an 85-mph speed limit — the fastest in the country.

Two hogs were hit, and one vehicle struck a deer.

...

[The new road has the 85 mph speed limit that Texicans are braggin' is the highest in the country.]

[A trooper reported at least 4 dead hogs early the next morning.]

Oh, it's springtime in the mountains and I'm full of mountain dew
Can't even read my catalog like I used to do
I'm a sittin' in that little shed that's right back off the house
Here comes ol' Jake with all the hounds but he's gonna hear me shout.

I won't go huntin' with you Jake but I'll go chasin' wimmin'
So put them hounds back in the pen and quit your silly grinnin'
Well, the moon is bright and I'm half tight my life is just beginnin'
I won't go huntin' with you jake but I'll go chasin' wimmin'.

Let's go down to the meetin' house and wait till they start home
Them gals that live on Possum Creek will always leave alone
We'll run 'em down the corn row them sassy little misses
We'll scare them pretty gals to death we'll stop and blow 'em kisses.

Well, I won't go huntin' with you Jake but I'll go chasin' wimmin'
So put them hounds back in the pen and quit your silly grinnin'
Well, the moon is bright and I'm half tight my life is just beginnin'
I won't go huntin' with you jake but I'll go chasin' wimmin'.

Now wash your face and comb your hair cause it's darn near time to start
But let me tell you fore you go there's no one that's got my heart
Don't chase that gal with the yellow hair and wearin' dress of green
Well that little gal belongs to me I know she's past sixteen.

Oh. I won't go huntin' with you Jake but I'll go chasin' wimmin'
So put them hounds back in the pen and quit your silly grinnin'
Well, the moon is bright and I'm half tight my life is just beginnin'
I won't go huntin' with you jake but I'll go chasin' wimmin'.

Now I was headin' for the general store when a silly thing I've seen
They make 'em in the city it's called a magazine
I turned to page 32 and look at what I found
Them gals wear clothes that we ain't seen beneath them gingham gowns

Oh, I won't go huntin' with you Jake but I'll go chasin' wimmin'
So put them hounds back in the pen and quit your silly grinnin'
Well, the moon is bright and I'm half tight my life is just beginnin'
I won't go huntin' with you jake but I'll go chasin' wimmin'...
