ORIGINAL: Rebel Hog
Drew, I have a video called, "Hunting Hogs Down Under" and 4 out of 5 are using .3030's and dirt bikes in theout-back. Theykill them for the bounties that are payed for them. They just bring back an ear or atail. They areso far back, that the meat will spoil trying to get it back.
Rebel,
Those guys must be a long way out. Were they in New South Wales, Queensland or Northern Territory? There is no bounty system that I know of in NSW. Wild pig numbers are not high out west now. Your video must have been taken a while ago, long before this four year drought.
Yes, Marlin and Winchester 30-30s are very popular scrub rifles here. I use a Marlin 45-70 for scrub work.
At times and depending on demand for wild pork, taking dressed hogs to local chillers can pay for the hunting trip. There is a high demand in Germany, Austria and Hungary for Australian wild pork.
