Yesterday while driving down the range repainting targets after a class I had the surprise of seeing new destruction the hogs caused of my land in the last few days. I get to spend hours and several gallons of diesel fixed what they messed up.

When it comes to comes to hogs, I will cast no shadow and I will show no remorse. 8 seconds old to 18 years old I'll kill every one of them I have ammo for and let the buzzards sort them out.

Seen people complain bout the hogs before . Offer ta help, infairness, might be way i look or talk, Got turned down. As a poste have seen the damage, dont have the money as others, they tore up food plots here too. So whin WMA opened up down road, $48.00 permit for grillen & chillen & help out as some say: saving the planet idont shoot just ta shoot, hogs been thinned out. AK's then AR's still waiten for hog ta show up here. Last year had lots of pics of hog's, this year very few. Some see hogs as other wild game . You have any luck in the woods? Its slow here, hogs been thinned out. Best wishes.

Nope. I was in a WMA. There were a couple of hunters camps set up. Lots of tracks but didn't see any hoggies. Hunters been putting the pressure on, I think. I was surrounded by deer though.

There are some areas around the WMA's that got pretty well shot out the last couple of years. Lots of poachers. There was a group of youngsters running around an area last year using dogs and killing everything they saw(so a local told me). I see the hogs as the other wild game, myself. I have shot for some farmers though and have seen the damage and understand their feelings too.

Which WMA are you down the road from?

The only thing that "Fair Chase" seems to be concerned with is keeping things fair between hunters doesn't really seem to have anything to do with fairly chasing a given animal. Fair chase is about keeping weapons/methods/techniques comparable for comparison between hunters and not to put the animal on an equal footing with the hunter. I can't think of a single person here that fairly chases an animal. We all use weapons and methods that are specifically to give us a decidedly unfair advantage, and ideally it helps us to be ethical in our kills.



Right. We don't all hunt the same way, but if legal and the animal doesn't suffer, then who is to say that it is wrong?

OSBWMA. Its archery only deer & hogs. They have rifle draw deer. It was real good place ta do hog hunt, whin it first opened. Surrounding area was hunted like most privite land 24-7-365. An that first year, back in mile or so, couldn't count em. Used ta be able ta walk old ATV trails, it stays pretty wet, & hogs had it tore up. know several people that stayed close ta ATV trails & got lots of hogs. First got on THF, main reason was ta see if any one wanted ta do some hog hunten. My health not best, an them thar huntsolo finding hogs was easy part, it's work getten em out. Light back pack, works best. Twas doing more videoing than chooten, trying ta keep in shape. We've gotten lot of rain here, did hunt their the last snow fall, wet just about every foot step. Still had a blast though. Best wishes

In my honest opinion, fair chase is how the indians did it. Homemade weapons and the hands and feet.
But, I've never jumped out of tree on top of a deer wearing nothing but a loin cloth either. So I guess i'm guilty as charged! LOL
