RE: Boar Hunting?
I call it what it is. If I shoot a Russian Boar, its a boar. If I shoot a feral hog, its a hog. I too, shoot the larger sows if possible because I find the taste of the meat to be excellent and can feed my family with it for months.
Unfortunately, where I live if you say to someone that you shot a feral hog, they say " a what?" So if I reply that I went boar hunting they seem to get the picture. Terminology seems to vary across the nation and many of us are not familiar with the local terms. This is not always ignorance, but lack of being educated by one who lives there. One who can explain the finer details.
Until this very moment, I've never heard the phrases " choats, barrowsor gilts" what does that refer to?
