Hog Hunt III

[twyacht]

Nice Haz, tell HazJr. Good Stickin'!

Had a friends son , about 15, stalk a Canadian Goose, and dispatch it like a farm boy getting a Sunday Chicken from the coop while camping in the Uwharrie National Forest.

If that picture of HazJr. gets around, he'll be on the same list as us Bible carrying, gun/bayonet carrying, right wing "extremists".

Great job!

Sausage, jerky, chops, loins, bacon,,BBQ, .......I'm getting hungry...

Okay, here are some details.  The dogs aren't Argentine or pit bull.  They are Southern Cur Dogs and they simply hate pigs.  It is in their breeding to go after pig.  That's what they do.  The dogs are about the size of a large beagle and have a similar look.  They are friendly to people, and just love their work.

I got my pig at the crack of o-dark-30 while sitting in a tree stand and wiping 1-liter mosquitos off my face and the back of my neck.  We'd all sprayed down with some Cutters, but these bad boys didn't seem to notice.  I heard the corn feeder spin some corn, but it was still so dark I couldn't make it out.  As the morning just started to brighten, I heard pig noise and saw three coming in out of the gloom.  Two of 'em were black and nearly invisible.  The one I shot looked like he was wearing camo, but there was enough lightness in his color for me to actually see his outline.  What I couldn't see was the blade sight on the front of my 30-30 Model 94.  But, I knew where the pig was, and I knew where I was, and I knew how the meeting would end.

I made the shot and heard the squeal and saw the pig drop.  Turned out I hit him through the backbone at the top of the shoulders.  But I didn't know that at that moment.  Dark, you know?  So, when I saw the pig trying to stand, I got out my .44 Mag Redhawk and hit him two more times.   That was all for that pig.

+10 on the cur dogs! I don'tknow if they are even recognized as a breed or not, but they are darn good dogs and beat a pit for friendliness and stability every day.They aren't bred to fight, but to hunt. I would never want a pit, but would adopt a cur tommorow. I won't judge how you hunt, but, if you can hear the feeder......c'mon there are plenty of hogs out there, kill them how you want, but try to show a little style man ,its a matter of class.

Quaker, we both know your judging the Hell out of how he hunts.  The day you run out of opinions and judgments I'll be terrified for the world.   There ferals, there's no hunting them, they need to be destroyed in as large of numbers as possible.  If you can have some fun while doing it...

I agree Bryan, and I thought about deleting half of that post. The thing is, its a question of whether its sport or work. If you just want to eliminate destructive feral hogs that damage crops etc, its work and there are no rules. If you want to hunt, this being sport, you should think about whether bait is the way to go. I have my opinions about hunting but try not to voice them in the in the interest of solidarity. My one bitch with TX. (which I love and would love to return to) was shooting deer over feeders. Its a crime here in Fl.and it never sat right with me. I owe you an apology Crusader, consider it given.

Do you bait your hook when you go fishing?

Actually, no, I fly fish. But that's just me, your mileage may vary. This is where I broke bad with crusader. Just because I choose to play the game a certain way, doesn't mean other ways are wrong if they choose different rules. I just prefer a different path. It doesn't make one better or worse. To each their own. I forgot that and for that I owe Crusader an apology (which I PMd him).

FQ12, I'm not trying to raz you, but we both know that there are some folk who would see a pig getting stuck and, in ignorance, have a problem with it.  I know you just have you own way, but at the same time, you respect others way of hunting.  I tell you, I've hunted for fun, and really went as old school as possible to put some sport in it.  And I've hunted for the meat and blasted them with little thought to sport.  Personally, I've never felt the urge to make a sport of ferals, I've got a irrational dislike for them.   Hunting with dogs and bayonets is pretty sporting in my book, even if there's a feeder.
