Believe me, if wolves could overcome the above three obstacles, they would most definitely try to take down their prey with as few shots as possible, in order to conserve energy and ammunition. Or, more probably, they would simply go to the supermarket with their newfound riches, brains and thumbs, buy a few steaks and a box of beer, then sit around on their decks with their friends laughing at the idiot humans who still insist on going out and getting their food the hard way...
At any rate, what this boy did was a very poor example of hunting.
I make no moral judgement about the the rightness or wrongness of hunting, either for sustenance or for trophies.
This was a clear and simple case of a person who was not skilled enough to do a job properly trying to do said job without the proper tools. The result was that an animal had to suffer a great deal.
:shame:
Well, daddy got his kid to be famous, so it was worth it, right? ~:rolleyes:Quote:

Now ain´t this sweeet? From the positive side of feedback little 11 year old got:
"It's better to be involved in Hunting, Fishing or sports than out doing drugs or drinking. I have to say that I was more glad to read that you are a brother in Christ than killing the hog but that is icing on the cake. May God bless you as you get older and pray for his guidance in your life.
PS. Don't listen to those crazy people on the other side just pray that god will take the hate out of them.. "
:wall: Now I am reallly scared. What does hunting and staff have to do with doing drugs? BTW some hunters in my country drink liquor while wating for prey...and every now and then shoot each other...like Dick C. over in the US of A.
Plus: If i ain´t totally wrong...maybe little hunter will weigh in quiet heavy in a couple of years too....esp. with so much sausage.....:beam:
I wondered what it sounds like if one of these huge animals screams...
Well, one thing I think noone had picked up on when I last read this was that The father and the guides all had rifles aimed at the hog, but let it to suffer so that the kid could shoot it down and get famous
That is animal cruelty. Causing it to suffer so that a kid can feel better/ get famous. Now, I can also understand that the father would feel pretty bad for denying his kid the chance of going after such a huge beast 'alone' or risking reducing his spirit, but by the time a three hour chase has gone on, that should not be considered reasonable.
A couple of points:
1) I retract my earlier comment about the photos not being to scale. Upon further review, in the picture from the side with the kid behind it, the scale is right if the kid is kneeling. When I first looked at it, I thought the kid was standing behind it. Kneeling though, makes the boar look unnaturally large, especially in the side view. My bad.
2) In trying to put myself into their mind set while hunting the boar, I doubt any of them thought it would take 8 shots to kill the beast. After the first couple, I'd imagine they'd be thinking "it has to go down on the next shot." If I read the article right, the kid did put the boar out of its suffering when he had the chance on the last shot at close range - it must have collapsed but was still alive. It is much easier to know what the right thing to do is when you have the benefit of hindsight.
3) Unless they knew this monsterous boar was there, I doubt the initial thought of the dad was "my boy is gonna be world famous!" Though the fact that there were guides and it took place on a commercial hunting preserve, makes me think at least the guides knew of the boar...and the dad did have the saavy to think of putting up a web site...hmmm, maybe I'm giving dad more benefit of the doubt than he deserves.
hahahah I called it :daisy:.
It's all a sham. It was a domesicated pig named Fred. I knew this crap was staged. No wonder he had to chase ity three hours, it was confounded at being shot in the butt witha 50 caliber. Any real boar would have turned at that little fat kid and charged him after the first shot.
I love the internet tubes and its vastness of info......

You mean you've never been caught short a gift at christmas, ya hit the 7-11 and see the cheesy fake roses, ya go to the $.99 store and get disgusted by the third-hand unicorn stationery, then get the bright idea: give the gift that keeps on giving... a piglet. It's small, cute, the grandkids love it... Genius!
That's never happened to you?
You haven't lived, man.
-------------------
To the issue of a kid with a bear-killer pistol, being allowed by Dad to spend 3 hours and 8 (9?) rounds to bring down a domestic swine in a so-called 'game preserve' whilst guides and Dad attended with sufficient dispatching hardware - I wonder if Dad's Dad ever took him hunting.
I blame the Grandpa, for not sufficiently imparting hunting etiquette and ethic. I say this as a gun-owning, hunting, Grandpa.
You mean this story is hogwash?
This story boars me.
It rather re-inforces the point of those of us who called the whole thing a cruel shambles, doesn't it.
Its all one squealy big sty. It shows you that the pen is mightier than the boar.Quote:

It's trotten to see a game that one is not able to play in, although it may be a blessing not to reveal just how ham-fisted one is with words. Still the decision is yours: whether 'tis rasher to play, or rasher not to.Quote:
