RE: Which would you choose? and why
Most bison hunts are on ranches so they're not too wary. If you'd be lucky enough to draw a free range tag, you'd have your work cut out for you. Either way when one topples over, you then have a LOT of meat to work up. European "russian" boar are very clever and make good sport to hunt. If you want all the excitement you can get,hunt themwith dogs and a knife! Feral hogs "razorbacks" can usually be drawn to bait so they're just a great way to fill up the freezer. Most exotic rams are like domestic sheep and feed all day so finding a herd and plugging oneis usually not a big deal. An exception would be free ranging Aoudad which are very wary and liketo live in rough country.That would be a good hunt though I've not heard of anyone claiming to enjoy the meat. That's my two cents worth.

Neither the Buffalo or Ram hunts interest me the way boar hunting does. But having to choose between Razorbacks or Russians, I'd say the Razorback. Never had an opportunity at one yet and I understand they can be just as tenacious as a Russian when cornered. And likewise as for hunting them with dogs and a knife, that is just a pure adrenaline rush.

I would have to go with the hogs. A single buffalo hunt might be more exciting than a single hog hunt, but I am not limited to a single hog hunt, and I do not believe that a single buffalo hunt would equal the excitement from the 200 or so hogs I kill each year. As far as the difference between the russians and razorbacks, I prefer hunting hogs with a strong russian or euroasian influence to hunting straight ferals, but I can't afford to go oversees to hunt the straight russians, so I guess I'll settle for the russian influenced ferals.

RE: Which would you choose? and why
I went on my first Russian boar hunt this weekend, and can say that it was exciting! Stalking and shooting them with a bow off the ground was a challenge to say the least. I swear they can see you blink. They were impossible to get in range, or draw on, and when they decide they want to get past you, thay dont care if your there or not, they will run right over you if your in the way. But after a couple of days of working our butts off, final score Bow hunters=3 Hogs=0
