What are there natural predators? I would think they're not over hunted there. Maybe it's just the close quarters and short visability of the jungle?Up here there are coyotes, and in some places cougars and bobcats.No natural predators but they are hunted hard with dogs here, very much the Hawaiian foremost hunting method.

Hey Manny did you get look at the Hatson 125 . Just wondering if you looked at other choices. Hope all is well. Wolfer
It's a sloppy, noisy, intrusive hunting method.No hunting done by Humans, all they do is follow the dogs that do the hunting itself, if there's dogs hunters in the area ( even a large area ) your day is done, they ruin it for everybody else, done.Dogs don't differentiate from grown hogs to babies hogs, they'll tear anything apart, .....milking saw ? no problem just tear it up I honestly despise those slobs, no finesse just pure disruption.
We pack hunt in Texas in County's bigger then entire mainland StatesYour in a box surrounded by water,thats the sucky part of small town living as we say here.Taking pigs with dogs and NO FIREARMS is what real hunting is aboutPush a spear into a 280lb+porker and survive,you can say you have huntedPopping one with a pellet gun is pretty nifty too Quote from: Nomadic Pirate on March 21, 2016, 04:34:13 PMIt's a sloppy, noisy, intrusive hunting method.No hunting done by Humans, all they do is follow the dogs that do the hunting itself, if there's dogs hunters in the area ( even a large area ) your day is done, they ruin it for everybody else, done.Dogs don't differentiate from grown hogs to babies hogs, they'll tear anything apart, .....milking saw ? no problem just tear it up I honestly despise those slobs, no finesse just pure disruption.

Go look for and find a hog in thick jungle terrain, no firearm back up, alone, no dogs and take a -/+ 10 yards shot with a homemade primitive bow,....but than again, that is a discussion for a different venue.
Thanks.Yeah, I worry more about the general population ( Forum dwellers are more educated/responsible......well most )I worry about those that watch the U tube or see the pictures and think " if it's that easy I'm gonna do it too "
