vortexring 0 #177 February 3, 2009 Quote Quote Quote Do you know a friend of a friend who owns a ranch where they hunt pigs? That may be do-able... why do you think I want to get a 'plinker' and a 'hunting' rifle? Have you ever hunted pigs? If not, make it do-able! I use a Remington 721, .30-06 with a 3x9 scope. It's amazing, how fast those suckers are! They are sure a 'skill tester'. I hope, you get to do it! When you say pigs, do you mean Wild Boar? Or domestic type pigs that've gone wild? Only ask as freshly smoked Wild Boar is, well, beyond delicious! 'for it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "chuck 'im out, the brute!" But it's "saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot.'

Only ask as freshly smoked Wild Boar is, well, beyond delicious! I was referring to feral hogs. Some of which have crossed with Russian boars in the wild. Here, they are responsible for a lot of damage to water lines, calves, fences and so-on. We've had people from CDC take samples of dead hogs and the results were pretty scarey.

Amazon 7 #179 February 3, 2009 I think he is talking about javalina down there in West Texas. I dont think a javalina can interbreed with hogs. In Florida where I learned to hunt there are Eurasian Wild Boar that were imported.. and there are also hogs that were domesticated and got away...feral hogs.. the things interbreed and the hybrids can be very agressive. My uncle had a bad leg from one that got hold of him and ripped him up pretty badly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazon 7 #182 February 4, 2009 Where I learned to hunt deer in N FL..... it was saw palmetto thickets.... you kept one eye on the trail and the other lookin for a big enough tree you can climb if you ran into a big ole boar... and carrying a .30-30 I was feeling a little undergunned for one.
