I lived in Hawaii for 5 years. . .the guys that hunt the pigs out there are CRAZY!!!. . .no guns. . .just a REALLY big knife and a couple of dogs. . .let the dogs chase the boar (boars not pigs!!!) until they corner it. . .let the dogs worry it for a while then dart it and stab it with a knife. . .boar takes off, dogs chase and repeat until you finally kill it or it dies from exhuastion, blood loss. . .or you get gored. . .whichever happens first. . .like I said CRAZY!!!

I heard this also and was pretty stoked about it when I had just moved up here last winter, but I talked to the WDFW and they said the same thing. . .Olympic Pennisula but the last one that was seen & reported was a couple of years ago. . .they said pretty much "Good Luck, but I wouldn't count on it. . ."

Not all that crazy. We use to run boars with dogs and use knives down in Geogia. Thats how this 305 lbs Boar died.

It should be a completely traditional drive hunt with Horns, hounds, and several traditional ceremonies
If i can just see something like this it will be enough to make me never want to leave.

A friend bought some property along a river in south Ga and the hogs were eating too much deer forage so he made a number 9 trap. You take fence posts and dog fence wire and make a number nine with the posts so that the wire runs in a circle and the leg of the 9 makes a funnel. The hogs circle the fence and walk in the leg part and the fence is just loose pushing against the circle and they go in and cant get out. He caught as many as 6 a day and it got to the point top where he didnt know what to do with the hogs as he had given so many away that no one needed any more.

.... A short time later he would come out victoriously with a tied up hog.

I grew up in Georgia and there was a friend of mine that would use dogs, or not use dogs, to catch wild hogs. The funny part is this guy is skinny and about 6 feet tall. With little more than a piece of rope and maybe a dog he would run in the bushes, squealing would start, maybe some dog growling, and a little thrashing around. A short time later he would come out victoriously with a tied up hog. He tried to get me to do it but I never wanted to try to tie up a wild hog. Shooting them with a rifle is one thing, but tying them up with some rope isnt for me. In southern Georgia along the coast the palm fronds around the march are ususally short, or are a lot of times, and when the hogs are feeding on acorns within the palms they cant hear from the palm fronds brushing one another and you can get really close to them if you are careful. They arent particularly wily, I dont know if its because theres so many of them or that they really dont have any natural predators there. It would be nice to hunt them here, but you really dont want feral hogs in the forest here. THey make a terrible mess rooting up the floor looking for food constantly.

I know exactly what your talking about. I lived in Leesburg, Georgia neer Albany for 5 years and 1 year in Florida. I had 1/2 dozen friends that were into that kind of hunting. Running them with dogs, trapping them, sticking them with knives, etc. Maybe not in 09 but hopefully in 2010 I can get back down their and run some hogs.

Some guys use basically pit bulls to hung hogs with also. Usually two of them. Not sure if its still legal there or not. The dogs would basically get them by their ears until they get there to either noose them or kill them.
I left georgia 2 years ago and as far as I know it is still legal to use dogs down their.
Most of the time my buddies would run 3 or 5 dogs. Atleast 1 of them was a catch dog. Other dogs they were refered to s bay dogs. They wouuld let the bay dogs go to find the hogs. Once one was bayed up or they were close enough they would let the Catch dog go. Once the catch dog is on the boar than they other dogs would jump in to help.
I have a picture of a 400lbs boar that they caught. It is a photo not on the computer. I believe they caught it and realized they didn't have a knife. Ended up killing it with a pocket knife. I will see if I can find it.

they said it weighed close to 400lbs.

I havn't found any boiled Peanuts either. When I ask for sweat tea at reasturants they bring me a cup of tea and some sugar packets! :bdid:
You know what else is hard to find. Good BBQ! Never had good pulled pork since I left.
I do miss the 12 deer limit down their.
Post by: FrankDown on December 28, 2008, 10:41:35 PM
Yeah, thats funny, when you ask for sweet tea they say "I got tea, and I got sugar, you can put sugar in it". Aint the same, thanks. I went to NYC and bought 5 lbs of raw green peanuts and brought them home (was in NYC anyway, not just to get peanuts). I boiled them cajun style and absolutely no one at work liked them. No one. They compained that they were soft. Ha.
I agree that once the hogs got here they would definately start complaining about them. THey are like rabbits, with a bunch of little piglets running around and breeding in no time. I imagine that in short order theyd have all forage scooped up so that nothing else got to eat. There may not just be much here that they would eat, but it seems like the moss and any acorns and grass would be food. Theyd tear up all the ground looking for roots, grubs, and berries. They would likely compete with deer, bears, and a few others. THey ar ebad on ground roosting and nesting birds too.

I like boiled peanuts a little at a time. I can't eat a ton of them.
I deffinatly don't want to see hogs running around up here. They will tear up some ground pretty quick. Destructive that s for sure. People would end up shooting them like coyotes.
