trapping wild pigs.

[Mortblanc]

Some do spear these animals but they use a long blade with a foot long socket with cross piece welded on since the pigs are known to run straight up the spear and take out the hunter after being impaled.

The real nut jobs among us hunt them with knives that look closer to swords than normal knives. I want no part of that.

One of the funniest pictures I ever saw was a man hanging onto a tree limb just inches above a nasty looking boar that was running around the tree looking like like a pincushion filled with arrows!

The best boar medicine is generally considered a .30 caliber rifle of medium to high power. I took one with a .54 caliber BP rifle several years back and must admit it was a much greater adrenaline rush than the normal white tail hunt. The pigs sometimes get confused and run at you rather than away from you.

There are farmers over here that will put you up for the weekend and give you meals if you want to help with pig disposal. In most areas they are invasive nescience species and not protected by game laws.
