Just saw the video on utube.

Whats the big deal?

The pig would have died anyways, prolly sooner than later and made into sausage either way.:)

At least someone got to shoot it, and try to make a name for himself as a great hunter.:D
 
i'd say that's as good a hunt as one could expect.....you try not ####ting your pants standing beside a big frickin pig, with a handgun. Sometimes animals don't die as fast as you'd like, but like i say #### happens.
 
Reminds me of tagging out on my trophy hereford bull, a rare sight in rural NS. After stepping out my back door I stealthily walked across the field while gently shaking a bucket of barley. With my quarry at a dead run toward me I quickly readied my Cooey M60 chambered in 22 BullSlayer and my buddy readied the 6" boning knife we had brought for back up. Just when I thought the enraged bull would run over me, it drove it's head in the bucket and I was able to settle the sights on it's head, after my head cleared from the recoil I saw it was down and my buddy quickly anchored it with two cuts from the 6" knife.

Another near death experience to celebrate.:D

Imagine how scary that hunt would be for a guy who doesn't spend much time around livestock. Of course everyone knows cattle are far easier to kill than pigs out of their pen.

Well, I didn't want to bring it up here, buuuuttt.

With the same hunting partner, I once stalked a seven hundred pound wild Landrace Boar into his very lair. In the tight confines of this 12 x 16 space I once again managed to administer the magnum awesomeness of the M60 bullslayer, one 450 grain (errr, 45 grain) pill was all that was required to drop that monster in his tracks, to be finished with the same six inch blade. To be fair, my hunting partner was packing an eight pound maul ( the short handled variety, restricted now I believe) for back up.

Oh the stories I could tell of culling the great herds here in NS, of the trophy bulls and boars, not to mention the rams and billies, but I'll have to save something for publishing later in life.
 
Well I actually went through and read all 206 posts. I laughed, I cried, I pondered all things posted... it was a veritable cornucopia of viewpoints, chest-thumping and bravado to be sure and in the end I come away thinking how much I could go for a big bacon classic right now most of all.

We have varmint pigs here in Alberta now I hear. I would like to go out and try and get one myself sometime if I get the chance. They aren't on par by any means with these giant ones from Texas and other places in the States of course, but I'm still thinking I would go with a shotgun, or hit him with my 30-06 from a good ways off just to be sure he goes down and I don't get jabbed or worse! Have a look at these beauties;

I think I would like a crack at the big boys someday down south too.
 
Nexgen, are their many real hunters like yourself willing to stalk and dispatch dangerous game in NS? It must be a pursuit that only attracts a rare breed of adventurer. I have a lot of respect for your hunting partner for backing you up with just a hammer and knife. That takes balls.
Have you ever been gored or attacked by these creatures?
 
Well Teapot, my emergency room file makes for some interesting reading for sure:runaway:, usually due to carelessness on my part. I've never been seriously injured, however I am on hunting partner #4.:D

What kind off $$ am I looking at, to come out for a "hunt"? I'm very intrested in the multi-species potential your reserve has to offer.
 
Well Ike, I'd say 300 a day plus trophy fees, plus fence fixing fees, plus a bag ( maybe 2) of barley, should add up to about 10,000 if you want to go for the Grand Slam:cool: (cow, pig, goat,sheep + small game like chickens, turkeys, ducks and my son has a rabbit he'd probably sell for 20 bucks). Sound reasonable? I accept EMT and MO's, please make payable to Nexgen's Barnyard Safaris Ltd and let me know when you want to come so I can let the stock out ... I mean start scouting for trophy prospects.:dancingbanana:

Teapot, I just couldn't resist.:D

How big is your reserve? I get tired easily so I don't like to hunt more than 1 acre and I must hunt from a vehicle.
 
No worries Ike, we take requests from our clients very seriously here at N.B. Safaris Ltd (thx teapot) so I'm on my way to bolt a Lazy Boy recliner to the roof of my tractor for your hunting comfort and as to the size of the reserve, well, I have a quarter acre paddock that I could probably coax most of these wily game animals into, if that is what you prefer.
