Phil, still looks like fun but doubt I will ever do that now, much less in this state. Sure would love to shoot a few though.

Is that your game face?

Phil that knife seems a bit small for pig hunting.....

I had some close friends describe what hunting with dogs at night is like.  The sound is the thing that they keep referring back to....
Kids today don't know how easy they have it. When I was young, I had to walk 9 feet through shag carpet to change the TV channel.

TNR didn't you wife tell you size doesn't matter  :popcorn:

https://www.gerbergear.com/Knives/Fixed/LMF-II-Knife_22-41629

This is the model I hunt with I want a very solid blade that has leverage and and that i can apply a lot of force too almost like a pry bar so you open up a big hole.

JR Yes this is not for the squeamish, they make some gut wrenching noises. 

If any of you ever want to go to the big island I can hook you up with a local guide and dogs, the dogs really take a beating, most hunt with massive collars on their necks but that doesn't guarantee they wont get killed a different way.  The key is you have to get to where they have the pig cornered before the pig can rip the dogs up, its difficult sometimes because it is not very simple running thru a tropical rain forest!

Squeamish I am not, but keeping up with the animals would be an issue. Bud told me how he used to stitch the dogs up time to time.

Oh, pigs huh....  Yeah, I was catching those things with my bare hands and taking them out alive before I ever bowhunted...   Here is two weeks ago.  Bigger of the two weighed 310, smaller went 230.  We catch and tie.  Took them out alive to our local processor.  Both were bar hogs, so we had them processed...

Bar hogs?

Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Bar - male hog that has had his wedding tackle removed....

Apparently these two had been caught previously, had their parts removed, and released back into the woods...
This makes them focus on eating and getting big.  Plus it makes them a lot better for processing.  They don't smell like a wild boar hog after they have been processed...
