Hunting 2021

The human in the picture is me. It gives reference to the size of the animal. It's not like I was beaming with pride in the pic. They were euthanized with a captive bolt. It isn't a mass slaughter. The animals were all aged (by teeth), stomach content analyzed (check what they prey on), and their sex was recorded.

The chain is to keep that boar from hurting anyone if he woke up. The big ones were brought down with a tranquilizer dart. All the pigs in that picture are still alive.

Wow thanks for the detailed info, much appreciated and I learned alot.

It would seem the humaneness pendulum is swinging the other way! So, devil's advocate, why the extra care and likely expense re euthanizing them vs shooting them?

What I can't believe is that the big bastard turned! Cape Buffalo are the baddest of bad ass land hulks. Holy sheets!

That's one tough cat!

Bobcats are tough nutters. If you ever get close to a wild one, you can see just how much muscle is packed in that package.
