You have always been honest about your love for the pussy…

And have successfully hunted it even here on TN.
I even mounted it myself (does that make me a taxidermist?).[/quote]
No doubt, the skilled hunter always studies and makes the best of the environment.
To be considered as a taxidermist they’d have to be mounted on your wall after getting stuffed…

Has the Zebra been the most difficult animal to hunt?
What has been the most dangerous animal to hunt?
Any Big Horned Rams?

Thanks Brett,
Yes, we often hunt pigs with a bow…but the largest one I have harvested to date was with a knife. We were using dogs on the knife hunt…I probably won’t do that again.
There are some great videos out there of guys hunting pigs from a helicopter with AR’s & AK’s…I’ve got to try that.
Yes, the Zebra was the most difficult. They stay in herds, circle way downwind before coming into water holes, have great hearing and eyesight and have honed their survival skills over centuries of being chased by every carnivore out there.
The most dangerous game that I have hunted has been bear and wild boar. I have been charged by both of them but I will say that the wild boar, (razorback), is more aggressive than the bear…they have a worse attitude than my mother in law.
The Cape Buffalo, (also called Black Death), is hands down the most dangerous animal to hunt in Africa. I hope to get to chase one on my next trip…
No Rams yet…still on the bucket list. It’s very difficult to get drawn for a tag.
NOTE: I must warn you that the most dangerous animal on the planet to hunt would have to be the “ARMED SQUIRREL”. Never hunt them alone and make sure you have studied them well before taking on this challenge…lol[/quote]
With a KNIFE? Wow. I sure don’t have the nerve or the skill to hunt boar with any weapon, let alone a KNIFE!
My Dad had a friend that lost two dogs hunting boar. He told he a story one a dog bolted from the pack and got ambushed by 3 boar. The boar could have easily torn the dog apart, but they just wounded the dog. But the wounded the dog enough where he was alive, whining but could barely move. Then the boars left. When my Dad’s friend and the other dogs found the wounded dog the damn boars ATTACKED! He’s said they were the one animal that doesn’t understand the concept of being prey.
“Black Death”???
What range do you take your shots at Cape Buffalo??? Don’t they charge at like 40 mph?

The boar I killed with the knife had killed two of the landowners dogs the week before. When I got there he had a friend bring trained pit bulls that wore kevlar vests. The pig still cut them up pretty good but nothing life threatening. The pit bulls hung onto the boars ears and would not let go…I had to dive in with the knife to get under his leg…no way to penetrate the shields with a knife. My first thrust went all the way to the heart but he was flinging the dogs back and forth trying to get to me. The dogs were bleeding…I was bleeding…but the hog was pumping blood with every heartbeat. I just kept stabbing him because the dog owner kept screaming, “stick him again…stick him again…before he kills my dogs.” You just kinda go insane for a minute and then it all got quiet. I couldn’t sleep for two nights because of the adrenalin that just kept rushing through my veins. I’ve had them chase me up a tree on two different occasions. I was packing a side arm but they came at me so fast there was no time to get it out of the holster…just had to jump as high as possible, (which is higher than normal when a wild boar is coming at you), up into the closest tree. There is something exciting about hunting something that can hunt you back.

O_O…
Well Sir, if that is ok with you, can I just shoot them?
Because, that kind of works for me?
Can u post a pic of the knife use to kill the boar?

The knife I used actually belonged to the dog owner. It was just a cheap hunting knife with a blaze orange handle…about 7" max. It was sharp but nothing fancy…you could buy it at Walmart for $15.
They do make knifes just for this and I have a couple of Buck Knives that I would’ve used if I had them with me. Chuck Buck is a good friend of mine so I have to use his knives or I get in trouble. I was at the T Bar M Camp in New Braunfels, Texas doing martial arts demonstrations and the owner of the camp took us to his ranch to chase this hog so I wasn’t really prepared for it.
This is the knife I would’ve taken…I always carry it while bear hunting too. It’s signed by Chuck but just about all of my buck knives are so if I didn’t use a signed one I wouldn’t have one to use. I do keep some just as collectors items.

Lemme know when you go do it again and need a partner. I need to check this off my bucket list.[/quote]
Anytime Push, sounds like you would be a great hunting partner…I’ve read a lot of your posts here and in other threads. We’ve got lots of pigs here in MO, in AR, or in OK…choose your poison.
Just for the record, we live in a log home out in the woods and seldom lock our doors either. I would love to come to Montana and chase elk, mule deer, or antelope.

The sows I have had were pretty good. A big boar is usually pretty strong. I know some of the guys that hunt them a lot around here will, when they catch little boar piglets will castrate them and when they kill them after they get older the meat doesn’t have that strong flavor. Plus it works as a little population control.
EZ, my dad had one run him up a tree several years ago. He shot a big sow with a 30-30 during deer season and dropped it. When he was headed to look at her, she got back to her feet and chased him around a tree with him steadily shooting. He hit her 5 out of 7 shots but they were all glancing shots to the shoulder and the bullets buried up in the shoulder plate. A group on horseback killed her a few weeks later but not before she killed one of the horses by running under it and gutting it. 300lb sow.

If you want to develop some good casting skills, these guys are like the T-Nat of fly casting.
My neighbors do think I’m kinda goofy though when I practice out in the yard.

Hey, thanks a lot man. That’s a great site!
