Weapons
 

How many different weapons have you used to take deer or other game.

I have killed deer with a 270, a 30-06, a 243, a 30-30, a black powder rifle with patch & round ball, and bow & arrow.

I've killed hogs with a 44 mag pistol, 243, 30-30, and black powder rifle.

My favorite is black powder although I'd like some day to kill a bear with my bow.

Turkeys with shotgun.

I have often wondered how a hog is taken with a knife. Can you explain?

Thanks,

You have catch dogs, like pit bulls, holding onto the hog. You have to get to them quick, otherwise the dogs can get hurt. Once you get there, you place the knife behind the shoulder and give it a push. Some people will go through the trouble of flipping the hog or holding the back legs up, but I've never found that necessary. Keep pushing until you hit the heart. It's all pretty quick, just stay away from the sharp end of the hog :biggrin:.

I believe I'll pass on this!!!!:biggrin:
