Hunting 2021

I get my gun license interview oct 25th… looking forward to harvesting wild pigs in the back yard.
Gonna weld up a cage too… I guess the challenge is not to pop the bladder when you’re skinning and butchering…

I was attacked by an American Couger in Seattle one time.
She dragged my back to her lair.
Quite pleasent.

And unless you want a trophy, stay smaller on the pig. For eating. As some say, there is probably a good reason why the natives would pit roast those wrapped in banana leaves and such.

Just take extra care gutting a wild pig, you never know what there last meal was.If you pop its guts and its last meal was a rotten animal you can get quite sick if you eat the tainted meat.

Shoot it and gut it as quick as you can. Pork spoils fast.

Thanks Guys. Looking forward to it… we got hella pig back here.
Great insights…. Buried cooking pit is called an Imu… so tender.

I have a few friends to help me on the first ones… theyve offered to take me out too… Dogs and Knives.

I've never seen a wild mountain lion which likely gives me and big Jim something in common.

Having read a fair amount on them, I too am generally in favor of them.

Why do you think lions in IA is dumb?

treetx, why are you being paid to trap swine in Spain?

For the same reason the nice folks in Martha's Vineyard don't like brown people.

It just doesn't fit.


How much wild country is left in Iowa?

Now, now, enough with the broad generalizations.

Idk how much is left, but apparently, enough

 

[FireFighterZero]

Yep...right up next to that day care off the interstate!


It just wouldn't be fair or humane for the mountain lion.


At some point you have to weigh your wants and desires against what would be best for the animals.

Maybe I think it would be cool to keep a giant squid in my toilet.

Next come the bridges and tunnels. Then relocation or euthanization teams when fido, fifi, and small children interface.

Los Angeles to build world's largest wildlife bridge across 10-lane freeway

An $87m corridor will extend over Highway 101 to reconnect the ecosystem and possibly save local mountain lions from dying out

What do you think?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

And I would not call it a hat

 

[treetx]

Deva, way cool. I deal with feral swine and wild boar (native swine) issues as I deal with a new type of device for catching them. All the bubbas in the south would hurt to hear this, but California has by far the biggest wild hogs. 300 pound pigs are normal there.

I am doing a project with the Catalan govt largely for African Swine Fever preparation as that disease is spreading across Europe. I'm not euthanizing any of the animals. Catching is where my involvement ends.

 

[Bodean]

haha 😝. Squid in the toilet.

Sounds cool Nate….

my buddy lost gun rights to a felony…. So he tracks for hours and many miles big pigs in Mendo… then uses the bow and arrow,,, says he kept a youngster.. estimates it at 700 lbs… big Russian pig…

 

[treebogan]

I was charged by a wild boar in front of my wife to be. I shot it on the run with a 308 but hit it too far back, it wheeled around and went after me. I had to wait a split second before it launched out of the gorse at the roadside, i fired instinctively hitting it in the head but its momentum ment I had to tolerate it busting into me.

Two days before the wedding, she was terrified and I was laughing like a loon.

 

[Bodean]

They say that’s good luck… like rain on a wedding.

Well...

The marriage didnt work out, would have been less painfull if I missed the pig.

 

[treebogan]

Here is the fiesty little bugger

 

[Bodean]

Bummer. Sorry to hear… hopefully it was for the best….

 

[treebogan]

Definatly was.

Consider making a Pig trap if you have pigs in your yard. Might be a more productive way to hunt them since they are close to your home already?

 

[Bodean]

Yeah défo…. Also realized I need a freezer box to store the meat…. They “say” if you freeze the meat for a month it helps tenderize the meat….
Id rather not strip off what I want and leave a pile of shit in the field…

Getting my crap ready for tues. am firearm deer opener. Want to be 95٪ ready tonite.
Forecast 39° cloudy with snow showers...Looks like the muzzleloader will be the choice. 50mm objective on the scope compared to 32mm on the Contender. Don't want to be handicapped by the lack of light.

At least our woods is not flooded this year, bone dry, deer don't like water, more so when it cuts the property in half. They go somewhere else.

Spain went well. Only set the trap one night. 2 different traps. 23 pigs in one trap, 4 in the other.

 

[treetx]

It is nice to do a project where you no longer have to sell. You just shut up and drop the mic.

 

[lxskllr]

What's the chain/lip ring on the one pig?

 

[cory]

Though the wild pigs there are evidently a problem that needs to be dealt with, is it difficult to be part of a mass slaughter and get your pic taken, if that is you, amidst it.
