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.

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?

Actually, these hogs are quite pests in Florida... There are hundreds of thousands of them... Wouldn't take any hunting down there... Just fill up the cooler with Iron City Beer, set up a comfy chair in the back of the Silverodo and blow the crud outta 'um... Then load the Chevy up and have a big BBQ...

Yes, In fact they sell wild boar in high end restaurant and I have had it and it tastes like any other pork I ever ate.

I was looking at the regs in florida. On private land, no hunting license, no bag limit. Night hunting with a light is ok .. ya can see they want them gone geeze

I mean, pack that sumabich to the ceiling with them sumabiche's meat and have the biggest BBQ ever held up North...

I could get my boys over in Wilson, NC at Parkers BBQ to make up about 100 gallons of eastern NC vinegar/pepper sauce that when ya'll Northerners get yer teeth on that hog it'll make ya' talk Southern fir a week or more... Sho nuff will...

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. -

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?
