Mungler Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Okay, so then, what is "mounted" boar hunting? And just out of interest what would you use to shoot a wild boar - solid slug shotty or rifle and if so what cal. Cheers all. Mung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Is it not on horseback? What calibre? A BIG ONE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 They USED to do it with Spears in the day of the Raj. The Chap would sit astride a horse and lunge the spear into the boar. Pig sticking it was called. Sure Mounted Boar shooting will be the same scenario though Guns instead of Spears LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobt Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 can they not just be holding hands? (its an old joke I know) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted March 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 ******. I was going to have a bid on this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/WTT-39-Mounted-boar-...1QQcmdZViewItem But the inclusion of horses rules it out. Nothing personal to horses but I hate 'em. Personally, I would prefer a day's horse shooting in France.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNAKEBITE Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Okay, so then, what is "mounted" boar hunting? Is it not where they put it on wheels and tow it behind a landrover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Okay, so then, what is "mounted" boar hunting? And just out of interest what would you use to shoot a wild boar - solid slug shotty or rifle and if so what cal. Cheers all. Mung That's Horseback. As for calibres, 12 slugs are lethal (I think we all know that one) and a shot gun is a more natural tool to acquire running targets with. Rifle, most will say .270 +, but I would disagree and say the type of bullet and where you stick is far more important. My tip wold be speak to people who actually do it, rather than those who have just read about it on the internet I hope Will B doesn't see this one :blink: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/WTT-42-day-of-pigeon...1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNAKEBITE Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 My tip wold be speak to people who actually do it, rather than those who have just read about it on the internet That my good sir is the best bit of advice I have heard in a long while. Any chance of getting it pinned at the top of all the sections? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
