aaron airgunner Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 good shooting mate! a lot of bacon on that you were wise not to go after it in the night....many a hunters who do this have been found clinging to a tree branch in the morning with the dead boar at there feet! others carry revolvers with them, and with two sets of eyes as well.

Holland&Holland Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Nice reading and well done. Nice looking animal and tuskers too ! And i recognize the fiddling with getting in a high seat as quitely as possible. It is very sensible to search for a wounded wild boar at daylight, regardless of size. I hunt wild boar many times in both Germany and the Netherlands and have seen the scary things happen with going after them in thick woodland at night. It is like a buffalo, they can wait in hiding to have a go at you. Even a youngster (Uberlaufer) can do big damage to youre lower arteries in youre legs. They thrust from down upwards and stab you in the lower legs with their tusks. I have seen a piglet, with regrettably both front legs shot off, run 300 meters on just it hind legs and when we found it still tried to bite us ! You always want to try and have a look straight away but in these cases patience is the (safety)key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arjimlad Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 An exciting hunt, with a great write up and photos too. Congratulations ! I remember visiting a German hunter in the Bremen area who had a heavy revolver for use when following up wild boar in dense cover - although looking at your pictures I find it hard to believe that would be enough gun.

ttalbot09 Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 excellent read and pics i enjoyed and nice beast. would like to ask why dont people take headshots on them? then theyre down on spot and no body damage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traztaz Posted October 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Time and a place for head shots, and they do not come often.Generally you are hunting at night using only the moon and a good scope..........no nv or lights allowed.Shot placement is critical because wounded boar are very very dangerous.Plus the tusks of a keiler are a very valued trophy, and you wouldn't want to smash up the Keiler of a lifetime. When the head shot is practical the boar go straight down, their skull is akin to a glass bottle and shatters as such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
