Is anyone ACTUALLY sticking pigs

[samf]

Seems like pig stickers have had a bit of a rise lately, seeing a few ads about anyway.

Got me wondering... Is anyone actually sticking pigs with them?

What happened to the follow up shot?

Call me a wuss but the last thing that'd come to my mind when a wild boar, pissed off that you put a hole in it, is thrashing around would be to leap on it and finish it off with a knife.

Sounds like a good way to lose a hand or an eye?

Yes.

Many people hunt pigs without the use of firearms.

dogs hold the ears, grab a leg, tip it over,stab the pig,,not that ive done it but ive seen the vids

Pigs aren't the only thing that their sticking!!!! Bow hunters use them a lot of the time as a follow up arrow is a little hard!!!

My son in law is a teacher in North Queensland and he tells me that a lot of the kids up there do it, the dogs hold the pig and they stab it with a knife. Not my preferred method, and I'm a bit surprised the RSPCA haven' t got their knickers in a twist about it, but it's popular up there. Recently some Chine blokes were done for training their dogs on piglets.

I've hunted pigs using spears and knives ( no dogs ) near Katherine NT when I was a young lad,
We would go out in a group of 3 or 4 lads on foot and just litsen for them and home in on em. Its got me beat how none of us ever got torn to bits.

I suspect you're making it sound easier than it is

Yeah, fair enough.

For curiosity, does a follow up arrow while your standing over the thing not work?

Or not a good idea for some reason?

I haven't been but that's what I was thinking.

YouTube and you'll see.

I won't link any as they're pretty graphic. Personally it doesn't sit very well with me, not a clean death. I prefer a more humane shot with a rifle.

Not lecturing anyone and not going to have an argument over it, just an opinion.

We went bow hunting a few years back and caught this guy sticking a Goat????

I stick them every now and then because ammo isn't cheap and in all honesty it's good fun.

I did it with a 3.5 inch Spyderco.

Probably not ideal.

The goat sticker looks like he may have been disturbed going bush potty.

Maybe I need to find a bayonet for my 303 before my possible pigging trip up to Queensland?

[Combat_Wombat]

Go one better I just got a cold steel catalogue full of spears, halberds, katanas and throwing axes for the extreme pig hunters

Ammo isn't cheap? How many times are you shooting the thing?
