cOoTeR Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I just watched a show on wild hogs on the discovery channel. These people were making a living hunting/trapping hogs. Now that looks like a blast, wish I could do that. I used to raise hogs for 4-H and did a little work on a small hog farm when I was younger. Domestic hogs are rough I could only imagine the rush of dealing with a wild one. Just thought I'd share that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beegreenstrings Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) Hell yeah... There is some Spec ops retired guys that have a company, where they go take care of them for the farmers and if I am not mistaken donate the meat to the food banks...It is awesome.. There is a video on youtube where they are using thermal imaging scopes to shoot them at night.there is a state forest here in Ohio that is becoming over-run. My brother-in-law and I and the fiance will most likely take a trip there this coming spring/summer and snipe a couple for a hog roast.I do not know how open the invitation is... But If they want them eraticated (spelling?) I will post it up on here.... Edited January 24, 2011 by Beegreenstrings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flounder Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) These guys are on another forum I frequent. Watch the entire vid. There's another one where they are doing it with shotguns.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiHmYsyVniE Edited January 24, 2011 by flounder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheech Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I have no doubt that this makes for entertaining youtube vids, but to have an entire television series? How long until the producers run out of funny hog huntin' and start trying to drum up drama amongst the "cast"? Pissed off rednecks with guns, now that would be a show I'd see.

cOoTeR Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I just watched a show called The Wild Within. The host travels around and hunts. This episode was in Hawaii. The guy hunted octopus and killed it by biting its face. Then he did a deer hunt with a rifle. Then he went out and did a hog hunt using dogs. When the dogs got to the hogs he literally fought it to death with a knife. I would like to give that a try. Anyone know anyone that hunts hogs that way? I know it would probably have to be out of state but I would travel for a chance to do a hunt with a good hog dog team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't got a scope for it yet but I'd love to take my .308 AR-10 out for a good hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gen3flygirl Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I'm glad you had show on discovery in the title because for a second I thought this was a show about fat chicks and their pursuit of the sausage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gump Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 They used a Great Dane? to hunt down the hog. Thin skinned mut could barely breath afterwords and hurt himself on barbed wire. Half the time they could have just shot the pig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 i had little interest in watching this until there was pretty much nothing else on tv and now I'm on the 3rd episode in row, its actually pretty entertaining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gump Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 It's entertaining. What I just saw was pretty friggin gruesome...they could have just shot it...again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
