Wild Hog Hunt
Wesley D:
Sissy. Real men hunt them with rocks. Rounded, blunt rocks... ;)

I once had a guy from Texas tell me that real men hunted them with nothing but a knife and a pack of dogs.

That's what they did in SE Missouri when I wuz a kid. [The Hillbillies; not me.] They still do it today. Shows you can have fun without dangerous guns.
Get a pack of rangy hounds to track down the hog. Dogs hold it by the ears. Hog stands there, squealing and pulling. Dogs hold it at bay. Great Big Hoo-Raw!!!
Hillbilly comes up from behind, grabs the hog's hind leg, lifts it up, takes out his Pigsticker, stabs deep into the hog's abdomen, pulls the Pigsticker back along the abdomen, bowels come tumbling out.
It's a helluva mess. There are some videos that can be Googled which show this method. See here:
Guess that's why those big Bowie/K-Bar type knives are called Pigstickers down in the Ozarks.

Good choice. I did this once, it is very exciting running with the dogs, then when they had the hog by the ears grabbed his hind leg knocked him over, put my knee behind its ear and stuck him in the heart- well pretty much how it happened in the video for that kid, although I was a little more assertive (I hope). Nothing 'wrong' with it but was distasteful to me and I wouldn't want to do it again. Same reason I don't bow-hunt, there are limits to how sporting I will be :D It is exciting though getting up close and personal with your (potentially dangerous) game.
