Well, I tried to post on this topic. I am new on this site and I don't know what sepperates the "junior members" from the senior members"yet. If anyone has questions about hunting hogs, you can email me. I have experience in feral and Russian boars, so send me one, or ask me a question on this site. ...Lee

If you want to start a new thread go to the hunt page (that's the one you acessed this thread off of) then go to the bottom on the left hand side. You'll see a start new thread prompt. Click on that puppy and type away.
The only difference between a senior member and a JR member is the number of posts you've put in. Anybody is free to post a thread or reply to one as far as I know.
I'd like to see your hog hunting thread I've got a big lease not to far from your part of the world that we do a bunch of hog hunting on like to compare notes with ya.

The traditional month long walking safari in Africa. The tents, campfires, all the game you could want, gun bearers and trackers, with assorted natives to take care of the camp chores and provide homegrown musical entertainment. Of course a month long supply of good whiskey and good food. A beautiful woman along would also be a nice diversion.

An Alaska hunt with:
A hunt that has occurred to me over the years, ever since a period in my youth spent in the Pacific Northwest US, is Badger, flat-footed on the ground, with my old Darton SL-50 Compound bow modified with overdraw shelf and some short composite bolts. If I survive that, I'd pay to hunt Wolverine the same way, on the ground, but I'd leave the Darton at home and bring my Super Blackhawk. And I'd hunt the "Glutton" over bait.
Barring the expense to create a time machine so that dinosaur and big ivory wasn't considered "unsporting."
These days, I'd say Kudu, Gemsbok, Sable, Zebra, and the mean old Cape Buffalo. I'm against predator hunting in general, but a real seat of the pants lion hunt on foot would indeed be stellar. I'd use a .375 for everything. No canned hunting, walking around in the bush with a tracker and a canteen.
Same rifle for Alaska and bear/caribou hunting, better boots and warm clothes.
After reading about the supposed "god bear" of Kamchatka, hell I'd volunteer to hunt that with a camera.

H&H, none of them were trophy animals, but like you say, seeing them in the wild is always a thrill. These pictures were taken directly East of Beatty Nevada; between Beatty and the Nevada Test Site.
To tie this in to a hot local (national ?) news topic. These sheep are very close to the proposed Yucca Mountain nuclear repository. This is where Washington has decided that those of us in Nevada can store the nations high level nuclear waste. After all, it is just a barren wasteland.

Being a NM native I can relate. Not only do we manufacture,design and modify most of the worlds nuclear weapons we are also home to one of the largest high level waste dumps in the world ,WIPP down south of Carlsbad NM. Also one of the premiere desert mule deer locations on the planet.

Well, nuke-junk a mile underground ain't gonna hurt critters up top. Dunno how much area is restricted by the feds, but I'd imagine it creates a sizable sanctuary. Drawback is, I guess, that the feds won't let folks go in and build/maintain guzzlers.

There is no end of speculation about the game animals on the test site and the gunnery ranges which have never been hunted. And there are no end to the stories from guys that work there about the huge deer located inside the fences. For those not familiar, these areas are the size of eastern states; totally off limits to anyone except the personel working there.
Art: The underground dump may or may not hurt the animals above. I guess it depends on how much leakage there is, and how much ground water contamination there is. And how big the facility is, how much terrain is disturbed in it's construction, how many roads will be built, how much traffic there is, how many personel will be working there etc. Of course the big issue we have as residents (in addition to the ones already mentioned) is the transportation of this high level waste to the repository. Obviously trucks loaded with this stuff are going to be on our nations highways and can easily be involved in an accident. Being a firefighter/paramedic, guess who is going to be called to these accidents ?
