welsh1 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Part of me is sad to see such a wild and powerful creature with his life ended. The other part of me is thinking i bet he tastes fantastic,and would love a few choice cuts from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Just have another look the boar is a lot nearer the camera than the intrepid hunter, no doubt it was a big one but still no need to exaggerate it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Just have another look the boar is a lot nearer the camera than the intrepid hunter, no doubt it was a big one but still no need to exaggerate it He's standing beside it when it is hanging!!!

Bleeh Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) As it impressive as it is, I wish for one we'd see a picture without the guy standing 2' behind it trying to make the dam thing look bigger.Forced perspective on hunting photos is like a great American pastime.

Cottonseed Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 This boar was shot at some 'hunting ranch.' Does that mean it was some sort of 'canned' hunt? If so, it's not quite so impressive IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byjovecarruthers Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) In some of southern states there is a real problem with 'Hog's' which are basically the descendants of pigs that went feral having been brought over by European settlers. They cause a tremendous amount of crop and property destruction and can seriously impact indigenous wildlife. The pigs are omnivores so eat anything and everything. Extremely adaptable creatures that are also prodigious breeders and have few predators they are considered fair game by American hunters. This wouldn't have been a canned hunt but Americans are very fond of bait stations and high seats / hides.

byjovecarruthers Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) Just googled White Oak Ranch Hunting Club and appears to be the US equivalent of a stalking syndicate. http://www.ncdeerman.com/WhiteOakNCMM/WhiteOakNC.htm Edited March 15, 2014 by byjovecarruthers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) Well he fooled you he is well to the back of it hanging up, look a little closer Very true and pretty obvious in most shots! Still big if the weight is to be believed! Edited March 15, 2014 by Dekers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norfolk dumpling Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Saw a program on Florida a while back where they are returning puma to the Everglades to reduce pig numbers as puma loves a baby piggie. Locals however very unhappy to find these quite big pussies in their back yards and have been shooting them. Pumas not dangerous to humans but they have picked off a few toy poodles. Great program.

four-wheel-drive Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 and the boy shot it with a bb gun that is some good shooting I hope that they have got a big freezer you could live off that for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
