PIG HUNTS IN IDAHO

[Shooting Stix]

That is an awesome European wild boar I am glad someone was lucky enough to get a chance to go and enjoy themselves especially during the off season it's nice to get in camo and get in the woods whether it's a high fenced hunt or doing some predator hunting. I am hoping this time next year huntwa members will be posting a bunch of wild boar pictures from the same ranch

Good looking pigs and you didn't have to go far!

This is the time for the European boar hunt I will be talking to the owner last year was very disappointing I was hoping to see a lot of hunters on here posting their pictures and stories I will try to keep you guys updated.

Only 100 wild boar available so it's worse than last year and he will book February 15th at MIDNIGHT good luck

Who knows? The thread had a whole month of no response. So, I give 50/50 that someone actually attempted and actually got a booking.

I totally forgot to check back in yesterday. Hope some one got lucky.

I blew it and put it on my calendar to call at Midnight on the 15th and not the 14th.

hahaha...I did the exact same thing and remember when I got to work at about 5:25am and called anyway.  He answered and said he was all booked up.

I got it booked up! Had a reminder on my Google calendar since I paid him for my pig last year. We were the last group there I believe and we'll be the last group this year.

How do these animals eat??  Are they similar to a domestic pig taste or do they carry a separate taste based on the feed in the area?

They don't taste funky or like sage to me.  They do forage but they are also provided feed. Prepared it is leaner than your grocery store pork or even farm raised. I'm not much of a pork snob but it was just as good as any other pork I've had. With the exception of being leaner. Makes for great sausage meat, but not so much a rack of ribs since it's so lean.

 Again I am not a pork snob so pork is pork for the most part to me. I'm Filipino and I was raised eating just about every part of a pig you can use including the blood so I guess you can say my opinion would be a little different.

You are so lucky you better put in for your permits with that luck I'm looking forward to the pictures maybe bring some extra money for a mouflon

More like my wife has got all the luck. She was the one to get through the phone lines and pass me the phone. I booked for 6 people memorial day weekend and we're splitting up the hogs, 3 saturday and 3 sunday so everyone can enjoy the hunt and watch each other get the pigs. Might have my kids with me this time to so if my daughter is on her best behavior I'll let her take my hog instead.

Main goal this time is to get my wife her first kill. She didn't have the right opportunity last year with her bow. And this fall will be 5 years without a single animal since she started hunting. So I really want to keep the wind in her sails before she looses motivation. I will make a thread and update as the time comes. Hoping for fair weather and a better drone by then to film.
