    No season as such. If for human consumption months with no 'r' in them. Basically winter.

    Had an interesting evening last night.Neighbours wild hogs got out of there pig pen.When they approached I was on the quad with the Stirling .22.I told them I could help catch them with it. They said they didn't want them dead. So we were off on a live pig capture right on dark.Two dogs were let out one was bailed hog tied and duck tape around its snout. The other hog went thru another fence where the second dog bailed it and the other dog caught up with the comotion.The last hog was captured in the creek. I had the job of holding the dogs while the second hogs snout was duck taped and legs were tied. Once both hogs were captured and tied the dogs were brought back up to the track and placed in a trailer. I killed the electricity on the fences so the last hog could be carted back up to the second trailer,then they went back for the other hog and dragged his sorry arse back up to the track.

    Geeze that was an adrenlined full evening,never done pig hunting but hell live capture is something......the squealing from the hogs once caught was unreal!!Name:  picture 01 5861.jpg

    Are your neighbours breeding from them Dundee or are they just fattening for the pot? If breeding then they should at least give you half a litter for your troubles.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    The bang is actually not a lot more than HMR I reckon.One or two shots is ok without muffs but defo no more than that. No close
    neighbors so I don't bother with muffler.
