I always feel like I’m really coming along as a traditional archer until I see videos like this.

Excellent shooting!

I have seen tail-less squirrels. Never a raccoon, but I’ve seen a heck of a lot more of the former.

in reply to: Your minimalist hunting camp! #21499

I’ve had three different tent camps since bow season came in back in September.

I usually just throw up my two-man backpacking tent and my sleeping bag. We are usually in a campground of some kind, but next year we are going to save ourselves the 7 miles of hiking every day and just backpack into our bear hunting area.

That’s about as primitive as it gets for me these days.

Yesterday I downloaded ‘Hunting with the Bow & Arrow’ by Saxton Pope for the modest price of $0.00 (from Amazon). That’s rather good value I’d say.

Jim.

Wow! I’ve bought a lot of books for a copper coin, but never for free.

I’m sure it’ll be delicious! Just slice it thin.

fattony77 wrote: I just recently saw the episode in question and noticed 2 things, first, Mr. Barta made a comment stating that he felt that he was mistaken in his previous stand on the subject and is now convinced that it was not the “slam dunk,” easy shooting that he previously thought, and second, he still only blatantly advocated the practice for those with disabilities, in an effort to empower them and let them know that their disabilities should not prevent them from getting out there & giving it a shot. For that, I commend him. Food for thought.

That may be the case, but shooting (at least semi tame) animals in a 400 acre pen, with ear tags, will never be hunting to me, and it shouldn’t be shown on national tv.

I’m sorry for what he’s been through, but, honestly, if he wasn’t in a wheelchair, everyone would be chastizing him.

Awesome!

That seems to be the way with a lot of pigs. They’re all guts!

Amazon has a ton of Cahill’s books for sale for $.01. Used of course.

Dave and Don, please don’t burn me at the stake for recommending something so treasonous as buying used books:D

God, I’d give up a lot of other outdoor pursuits if we had grouse in any numbers. I can count the number I’ve seen in GA on two hands and I’ve spent a LOT of time in their prime habitat.

Congratulations on a beautiful bird!…..and maybe the best eating bird out there too.

All of Tim Cahill’s books are excellent adventure writing. Those are all short stories too.

“Pass the Butterworms” is one of my favorites

“What Archer38 said”

Younger pigs are hard to tell apart in field situations, especially when you start out. No worry’s, anything under a 100lbs is great eating. Just less meat per successful shot.

Mature feral pigs [if they have been wild for a couple+ generations start looking very Russian Boar like / Dark/ long/mean looking]females the “teats” are more pronounced [and they are rounder from stem to stern],if lactating very pronounced and you’ll probably see piglets.I don’t take these, as I want pigs for future hunting –although this aggravates a lot of people who want them eliminated. Probably rightly so in some areas to keep the ecosystem in it’s original format. Big Boars [breeding age]are obvious; they are very heavy in the front[shoulders]usually larger head,a “sheath” you can spot from the side {unless in tall grass/brush}. Have tusks you can easily see! and they know how to use em!

PS – Check out some of Kingwouldbe’s Posts for Big Pigs

In this part of the world, guests who pass up shots at any pigs are not usually asked back.
