First time tracking pig with my dog.
Went very well!

I am not convinced by vests.
I work without them on the boars
Hot, the freedom of movement is restricted and the kicks are no longer so painful when they get beaten by the boars.
This tempts sharp dogs to go even harder.
Only my 2cent

She don't hunt pigs and the west is against wolves. For roe deer hunt the west don't effect the dogs movement.

Kansas needs to transplant some from Texas. Ha! Ha! In reality, if Kansas had wild hogs, there wouldn’t be a stalk of milo or corn left and thus no pheasants either. They would eat all the silage meant for cattle. It would be an agricultural disaster. Neither Texas or California and maybe other states can control their population.

Kansas has wild pigs in the southern counties, but fish and game will not allow hunting. The current policy is to notify fish & game and they will take care of the problem.

My favorite pig gun? The one I’m carrying that day

Papa’s old Browning Safari in .270

My go-to Win FW in ‘06

A 2 for 1 with an AR-10 in .308

Ruger Precision in .308

Ruger #1 in .30-06

Short .300 Blackout from the ranch house kitchen window

And, of course, my favorite Type A in 10.75x68mm

…sometimes I think I’d just rather be shooting pigs

wow.
Congrats und Waidmannsheil.
Is your Pig Sticker sturdy enough to throw down and hold the sau?
The knifewall seems a little thin to me.
In Germany this PUMA Pig sticker is here very popular

Here's my son with his pig gun. It's a CZ kevlar carbine in 9.3x62, shooting 286 grain Nosler partitions. And no, it's not photoshopped...

Waidmannsheil und Waidmannsdank!​

Hey Foxi- No, I dont think my sticker would be anything to use long term. I bought the Cold Steel blade stand alone, then mdwest and I searched on the property for a suitable short staff. It obviously did the trick tought!
Were I to come to Germany and chase the sau, I would most assuredly grab a Puma!

[Tex .416]

We shoot a lot of pigs in South Texas. The meat is wonderful, especially the ribs. Every now and then, I video a shot if I have someone with me. A .308 Win with a Barnes TTSX 130 grain @ 3100 is the go to load.

Here are a couple of good examples:

 

[Vashper]

The famous writer Leo Tolstoy had a brother, Nikolai, a hunter. Nikolai described hunting in the reeds near the Kuban River. The hunters there used the bayonet of a Berdan rifle on a long shaft. Dangerous hunting, with heavy losses among the dogs.

416 Rigby....worked just fine. I took several Boar in Texas with my .338 but don't have pictures readily available.

How bout this little one with a 458 at distance. One of my favorite shots on the run.
