FWIW, the traditional method was to use dogs to corner and finish the pig with a short hafted boar spear. Not everything "traditional" continues to be a good idea, conceded, but I personally don't have a problem with this method. I can see how others might and offer no judgement (or flames ) accordingly.


Anyone that knows of a population, has property owner permission, and intends to organize a hunt? I would love to tag along - traditional or centerfire.
Thanks for the response paddling_man. I don't mind that people hunt, it's just not something that has really interested me. I do feel that a quick, clean kill is what we owe animals. Not the fear of being chased and cornered and then knifed.

I respect people who hunt. I just don't want animals to unduly suffer.

Reps to you paddling_man for a such a respectful response
