WOW, really... clearly I stepped on some toes by merely expressing my opinion on hunting big game with dogs. Do I use a spear, knife or other weapons like that to hunt?? No! Do I hunt deer and elk that are feeding on my farmland ... yes I do. I have hunted ducks and geese with a black lab and it is very helpful plus the dog loves it. Watching a trained upland bird dog working would be very interesting.
Why don't you guys with your trained hounds come out here and put them on the scent of the wild boars and help get rid of these problem animals. The only problem with that is you might lose a few of them once they caught up to the boars. Yes there are a few guys who use dogs for coyotes here, dog v.s. dog and it seems to work well for them.
Like some of you stated we all have our own way of hunting animals; so I guess enjoy the way your use to hunting.
