You are very sensitive about Hog Hunting methods, I think it's because you want to jump on the wagon with all the assholes who desperately want to ram home how they are so much better because THEY don't kill piggies- but you killed piggies, so you can't do that.

Instead, you have hit upon the idea that your method is not only the best method but is the One True Method you can use and be a Good Person- with everyone else using... say... a spear being Baaad Persons that it's perfectly just to hate and want to kill.

Oh, and MODERN bow hunting is OK too.

Your head is not where it should be, and it seems like it should be hard to breath while wearing your own intestine like a bank robber in pantyhose.


It's real simple: If you have quick and humane methods of dispatching nuisance animals readily available to you and instead you choose a much less efficient method with a much higher chance of suffering for the animal then you are a sick and dangerous person that should be separated from decent society for our own safety.

The bandwagon to jump on is the one for basic human decency. This isn't a controversial opinion that I'm voicing here. Being unnecessarily cruel to animals is a sure sign that something is wrong with you.

Spear creates a much larger wound so the pig will bleed out than any bullet that isn't fired from a cannon. Ever heard of a hunter bitching about how he had to follow a dear he shot for several miles? Bullets aren't some magic poo poo that just snuffs out the life of whatever they touch. There is a reason the term "Boar Spear" is fairly well known throughout history even during ages when more modern means of killing were available. It's because spears are really good at killing hogs fairly quickly, and once you have it speared you can control it's movement (i.e. you can stop it from goring the gently caress out of you).

I have a buddy that shoots wild hog on his farm all the time. His primary weapon is his 7.62 rifle, but he also carries a boar spear for when that's not an option, or for when he gets charged.

As a last-ditch self defense method a spear or a knife makes some sense. But I'm not buying the argument that a spear wound is worse than a round of .308 (or whatever rifle round) through the ribcage, lungs, and heart.

Who suggested a knife? You want to use a knife on them, don't you? Hold them down, cut a bit off a bit at a time while they slowly bleed out huh? Probably intend to cook the chunks and force feed it to the screaming pig or just eat fresh bacon in front of it.

I know you want to do this because you said knife and no one else said knife and clearly YOU ARE A HORRIBLE MONSTER.

This is why you don't want to use the spear! Because if you use the spear then you'll use the knife and you know once you get into that habit you can't stop yourself and next thing you know you're running through downtown wearing a screaming, bleeding, suit stitched together from mangled pigs.

GET HELP.

How good of a shot are you and at what range do you plan to do this before said boar charges you and rips you to shreds as you're reloading / fumbling with the rifle

bushman was a legitimately cool and interesting poster and contributed more to making this site an interesting place to visit back in the day than any of us in 2015 gbs

but seriously though bushman should have ran around with a captive bolt gun like the guy in No Country For Old Men and said a little latin prayer for each and every pig he killed then gave them a full christian burial right then and there while the body is still hot, with an EPA representative in tow marking off all the ways it is saving the environment on a clipboard, with an African tribal guide advising him on his methods, maybe then it would be harder for people to have a bunch of lily-livered human being false outrage about it

why aren't you answering a simple question? I've shot a gun and it wasn't hard to hit a target at all. why is utilizing a gun for its intended purpose (death of a human or nonhuman animal) "badass" and worthy of adulation?

Wow, you shot a gun and hit a target!

Do me a favor.
Creep around for hours in the dead of night in the middle of no where while surrounded my mosquitos, snakes, and pissed off wild pigs.
Do it when the weather is poo poo, do it when its cold, do it when its hot. Do it in a thunderstorm, or while a hurricane is rolling in for extra fun.
Do it for days on end when the pigs don't show up and don't quit.
Sleep on the ground, sleep in your truck, drink water from a ditch.
Do it when all you can afford is a old shotgun and a mag light, do it when you can afford night vision and $10k thermal scopes.
Find them with your eyes, your nose, your ears, your brain, go nuts and build your own UAV to spot them.
Follow their tracks, pattern their movement, feel the warm spots on the ground where they were sleeping just minutes before.
Find them in the corn where you can only see 2 feet unless you lay down.
Listen to those fuckers grinding their chompers when they smell you close.
Grunt back and forth with them to ease their fear before you wipe them out.
Shoot them when they are standing still, when they are running, when they are charging right at you.
Shoot after you've worked a good 10 hour day had an hour drive to the farm and waded through the muck for 4 hours searching.

Do it loving barefoot.
Then come and tell me you don't feel any more awesome than before (or you could just play another round of counterstrike then jerk off to internet pron and cry yourself to sleep at the injustice of the world).

I agree. However, using a spear isn't unnecessarily cruel and for a time worked better than the other tools I had. (not so anymore, and I haven't used it in a few years now).
People bow hunt for the challenge, it is perfectly acceptable method as is a spear, or a foot on the head in a few inches of water.



Also, most people do not aim for headshots. The brain is small, the skull is thick, and the areas around it will not provide for a very humane kill so there is little room for error. Pigs also tend to have very twichy heads.
My advice to all pig shooters is a base of the neck shot. It provides a very quick kill if you are on target and much more room for error as the head is on one side and vitals on the left. If you hit low, the pig is likely to bleed out quickly. If you hit high, the long spinal process bones on a pigs neck are large and if hit should cause temporary paralysis for a follow up shot.


Also, also. Don't loving try and use a sword. You will die. Trust me.

No. I think they did a letter writing campaign to the Mayor of a city I lived in to get me arrested but since I hadn't broken any laws I guess it didn't get very far. *shrug*
The wildlife and fisheries did come to my house, and walked away with a photo of me and them posing with the spear. A year or two later I used the UAV to help a wildlife officer catch some trespassers and he figured out who I was and we had a good laugh about it, apparently the photo got passed around a lot.
