Dog Killer

I wonder if I would survive the heart attack that would be induced by a wild boar jumping out of plum thicket while bird hunting.
 
Great job! I'm glad we don't have to deal will the wild hogs up here in Iowa. I hear they are nasty things. I do have to admit we love watching the Wild Hogs show which they use pitbulls, great danes and other large dogs catch those things and then they are stabbed. I always heard they were a problem in the South and even Hawaii.

So whats the story behind it?

Okay Moellermd here’s the story. I was just out on weekend hunt with friends. Over the past several years, the dogs and I’ve been chased back to the truck several times. This is not typical behavior for these hogs, but the big boars will chase a dog and occasional hunter if they find themselves cornered. Lactating sows can be aggressive as well! But I agree they normally attempt escape fromdogs if possable. So needless to say, I never leave home without a side arm, because a 28Ga with bird shot is not my choice of weapons.

The Dogs snuck up on what I believe must have been a sleeping hog. The dogs ended up cornering the boar in a small ravine. An attempt to gather the dogs initially failed; do to what I call “an uncontrollable dog frenzy”. After using the e-collar a few more times, I was able to gain a safe separation between the hog and the dogs. A Smith & Wesson 44 Mag ended the excitement. I cut the head off as I had left my camera phone in the truck and wanted a picture of the tusks.
 
Damn okie, our states have some common ground. Damn hogs must have followed my grandparents from Maude, Ok.
 
I would rather do without them. But, until Texas makes some significant progress in controlling/ reducing the numbers, Oklahoma will always have them around. So what made your family leave Oklahoma?
 
I'm not really sure, grandma and grandpa never really talked about it. Hard times during the dust bowl I guess, grapes of wrath stuff. I do remember grandpa waxing about quail hunting with his dad as a boy, and lamenting these "scoundrel" quail he found here.:D

If we do not get some rain soon, the dust bowl day's just might come back.

They had a few tornados up that way in Pottawattamie County a few years back. If I remember correctly, right around the towns of Shawnee and Maud. That alone is enough to head west.
 
Yeah I would imagine so. Doing a little math in my head grandpas stories are a little odd. He was a young boy, no more than 10, when they headed this way. I don't imagine quail hunting was to great leading up to and during the bowl.:confused: Maybe he romantisized his dads stories. I remember my greats much just that great grandma chewed snuff and had a spitoon in the living room and great gpa almost ran me over when he was about 95.:eek: Anyways grandpa quit quail hunting when he got here and bought a 30" full choke wingmaster in '53 because the pheasants were "just to damn thick." That old wingmaster still bags a few roosters a year, and I bagged my first quail with it, not exactly sure how though.:cheers:

I'll second that!!!
 
Thanks for the info Okiegunner. You'll be hearing from me about it when I get some money around for it.
 
The ones in the area of MN I mentioned are like the one QH posted. They get bigger of coarse. But they are a product of a guy letting them all out of his pen and just leaving. They survived on there own just foraging around in the oak river bottoms like deer. The area is large, a few miles of heavy timber and river bottom. We seen them deer hunting as well. They run like a dang deer too. But they grew wild in a hurry. I am told the hair has evolved longer and they are leaner but like QH's pic still have the domestic look. I was coon hunting when I was treed at night. The dog Finlay came back and tormented the big sucker enough to have it wander away and I split. Never coon hunted there again, but went with slugs deer hunting. We saw them run but never got any. Some have since shot them on stand in there still.

I concur with the local let-outs or abandon of thedomestic hogs. Arrests have been made where people have trapped hogs and then illegally transported and released them a few hundred miles away. For the last several years NR folks have been doing DNA and hair samples and have constructed a large data base for analizing the un-natural expansion of their range.
 
Yep, ours are a mix of feral domestic pigs and true wild Russian boats some jack ass imported on his coastal ranch way back when. Some are show more signs of the boars and some are more domestic (like the one in my pic) but they are all pains in ass.
 
I got to know some migrant workers when I spent some summers in SoCal,they had some horror stories about working the orange and grapefruit groves.They used them as about their only source of meat protein as they were very poor and sent most of their money back to Mexico, anyway.

One thing no one can say about migrant farm workers is that they don't work hard. California wouldn't be able to farm to extremes with out them. And they can make some killer wild pig carnitas.:cheers:
 
The states really need to make it illegal to charge or guide hunters to hunt them. They are becoming a real problem, fortunately not in KS yet but we do have a few. It's illegal to hunt them here. The thought is that if it's illegal to hunt them then people won't be tuning them loose. They try to do an eradication on them annually.

I'd love to load up my AR and tear into a heard of them! Then donate them to the hungry. :thumbsup:
