Hogs messing my hunt up

No pig gets a pass on my place. I would be slinging an arrow.

I am disappointed to read on this forum that a hunter, on purpose, would wound an animal by gut shooting with an arrow or bullet in such a way to carry the guts hanging out and die a slow death that could take as long as a month or longer to die. Animal cruelty at best. In my opinion, it is our job as hunters to take down animals in as humanly way possible.

I’m disappointed to see a hunter publicly scold another, and then just to make it worse some one publicly agree with him. Left that stuff to the bass fishing people.

Do you feel guilty when you put out rat poison, what about any bug deterrent such as amdro or even throwing soapy water on a wasp nest. Ferrel hogs are no different than roaches ants or wasp.

No. A hunter publicly scolding another hunter is what will eventually get hunting banned.

A non-native or introduced species is no different than a fire ant.

Yes, you are now scolding me, good job. Takes a real man to win an argument on the internet.

RULE #1. When hunting- if you don’t own the land, respect the land owner.



IMO most landowners do not own the land for hunting, they own it to make a profit off of it, they are giving you the right or privilege to hunt it, typically for money. The land has to be profitable or you will loose that piece of land. Very few land owners want any pigs on their land.

My land owner has clear instructions, if you see a pig or varmint the deer hunt is over.

When I shoot a pig I aim for the head, then I go find the oil field or Turbine workers and give it to them. More than once they have found me the next day or week and thanked me.

Ferrel hogs, coyotes, bobcats and many other animals do not have to be recovered and consumed by law.

With that said

The single biggest issue in the hunting community (again IMO) is hunters publicly scolding other hunters.

I carry a special arrow for hogs. It’s an old practice arrow with a cheap broad head on it. Save the expensive arrows and broad heads for deer

this made me "ponder". It's acceptable with insects, fish, vermin and many, many living creatures we routinely come in contact with, but I am guessing pigs are sacred somehow? Where would you draw the line?
