Boar Hunting

[Vuk]

I didn't want to offend anyone, sorry if it sounded that way. I just don't understand the point of it. Hunting a boar with a spear doesn't make sense to me, it isn't something you'll be applauded for, there's a greater chance you'll be ridiculed...

I just think it's a bad idea, it's dangerous, it doesn't prove anything and I'm pretty sure he'll regret it later and it was just my way of saying "don't!" to EMFM...

Sorry if it came out wrong, EMFM, wasn't my intention. We had enough interesting discussions for me to try to "get you" this way...

lol, I think it is kinda crazy too, but to be fair, I think I may know why he is doing it. I have hunted with primitive weapons myself (though nothing as dangerous as this). I did it to try to gain a deeper insight of what life was like, so I could understand history better. That is a pretty strong motivation.

EMFM, in your search I would also make sure that you know exactly what you'll be hunting. I would be sure to distinguish between a canned hunt and real one. There are a lot of operations around the South that specialize in "monster" boars - not necessarily wild ones.

I'll be sure to keep that in mind, thank you.

That is more or less it. I want the experience of course, and the greater feeling of reward (as Panzer suggested), but it is also partially interest in how it was historically done that motivates me.

Boar meat is also very tasty.

I believe that hunting boars with spears will reduce conservative influence in the Backroom (where I think this thread belongs since it is rather offensive for all us non-trigger-happy people hippies...

um, spears don't have triggers...
