Thread: Gsp for pig hunting

Ive seen big boar stand his ground and just dare us to challenge him...out in open,two of us with 6-8 stock dogs....classic pose big hairy fella just stood there then moved off... Dad told me to just wait n get ready to run if he came at us..weird sensation when you run into them like that.come up over brow of hill and end up face to face.guess them and feral cattle are nearest we have to bear encounters..and Im rather pleased about that.

you and I will have to watch telling these storys Mickey Duck these young bastards wont believe us but they dont have the years - me and an old mate Pat flew into a heli pad back of Ruakituri for a venison recovery trip - Dick Joqain( I think thats how ya spelled his name )flew us in with a Hughs 500 C -( sadly I think he died in heli crash South Africa) about an hour from the pad out to the east was a big sheep station - so we poached it as ya do - coming home second night with a deer on down big long bush ridge from the grass a boar followed me about 10 at night - I could hear him moving behind me about 50-70 yards back and every now and then he would huff and grind his teeth - just had an old red D cell torch - so nervously kept shining it back trying to pick some eyes up - no very thankful to hit camp - I will never trust boars in NZ back country

There is some awesome footage in one of the Red Stag hunter series where they were chasing pigs down Central Otago from memory.
Some nice drone footage, then boar charged him in the tight. Head shot at point blank to put him down.
