WHY? Can u shoot sittn n balanceing on a branch? Could you find a branch suitable to sit on with hogs nearby to shoot? If you are worried about getting up a tree before shooting a hog, then you need to think about hunting them a bit more. I have killed hundreds of hogs and have yet to worry about it. Thats part of the thrill of the hunt. Just learn to shoot straight and accurate and you have nothing to worry about.
And yes, I have been charged several times. Both by shot hogs and 2 times by hogs that were not shot, YET!!!!! Shortly corrected thereafter!!!!!!!!
