I did some electrical work for a friend who owns a trophy hunting lodge and he has offered to take me on a wild boar hunt as payment. This guy hunts with plot hounds as chase/bay dogs and Pit Bulls for catch dogs (bear hunting style). The plots chased for about 10-15 min. and we followed on 4 wheelers and loosed the pits. They cought in about 30 seconds and by God did they ever catch! By the time we got to the hog the pits had torn one ear almost off and open a gaping wound under the hogs front leg, but the porker was still fighting the 80-100 lb dogs with admirable ferocity. Seeing that kind of power up close was astounding. We pulled the dogs off except for one pit on the snout and I put a shot behind its ear from about 20 yards with a 122gr Silver Bear HP. The 225LB hog went stiff legged and fell over. It kicked a few times and lay still. We had leashed all the dogs and were walking over to the hog when it stood up and prepaired to charge. I took the AK off safe and dropped the hammer again...It didn't get up.
all-in-all quite and experiance. Not what I would think of when you say "hunting" but a great way to spend the 4th of july weekend.

*edit..thats my father-in-law in the pic

:what: Gasp! Swoon!Horrors! You TERRIBLE man! You used an EEEVILLL, Powerful ASSAULT RIFLE on a poor, helpless little piggy?:what:
Didn't anyone tell you that those things have no sporting purpose? HOW DARE you use an "assault rifle" for hunting! I bet you even belong to the (whisper) NRA!

Sorry, I couldn't pass it up :D Sounds like a good hunt, and your rifle was perfect for it. Good shooting!

[4v50 Gary]

Shot behind the ear and it wasn't killed? Dang that's one tough porker. It fought off the dogs until it received a lead sedative. Then it had to be euthanized with an AK. :eek:

Congratulations.

Who says AKs aren't for hunting?:D

[41mag]

PORK!It's what's for dinner!

[Wildalaska]

O my god it was shot with an AK and still got up, I thought any battle rifle other than an M4 killed everyhting instantly!

Feinstein has nightmares about hunts like this.

Bwaaaaahahahah BRILLIANT! :D

[Kharn]

You are bbq'ing it for dinner tonight, right?
There's nothing like home-cooked BBQ and fireworks on the same day. :D

I'm not a hunter, never had any interest in the sport.
Even so, it seems like you had entirely too much fun! I'm jealous.
Nice looking hog, that one. Enjoy!

[shep854]

With its shortness and moderate power, an AK-type rifle, is perfect for hunting in close brush.

[twoblink]

AK, when you want "The other white meat" for dinner..

Nice.. Bacon Bacon Bacon...

[JShirley]

Nice. Looks like the first shot might have been a leetle bit high.

I understand shooting high is a common problem on browns and grizzlies, too! :D

[Carbon_15]

actualy that messed up ear cam from one of the catch dogs. I thing I shot a tad low

[Denver]

Just an aside...

I thought PETA was the other white meat.:D

Good shooting! The right tool for every job!

[Byron Quick]

Nice looking hog. However, what you experienced was much more in line with the tradition of hunting than sitting in a tree stand is.

I would take a 7 lb Marlin .30-30 or 44 Rem. Mag any day over a 9 lb AK.

Hunting with pit bulls.....

Sure you can. All you have to do is be an urbanite. Do the math. Compare the per capita damage to the environment done by city dwellers who never venture out of the city to your typical 4 wheeler. Want to save the environment? Simple. Destroy the cities and all who live there. Once again...do the math:D

What assault rifle? That clone was selective fire and capable of full automatic fire?

[ENC]

I think you should at least have included a picture of these vicous dogs with the other picture.

[ssr]

You need to send that picture to Kerry so he will stop using his "I never saw a hunter us an AK" line.

Yeah, especially the crazy one that had it by the snout!

:uhoh:

[myopicmouse]

Sometimes I think animals are too stupid to know their dead. Half their head is missing and yet they still run of fly for a few dozon yards occasionally.

[Fullmedaljacket8]

I would take a 7 lb Marlin .30-30 or 44 Rem. Mag any day over a 9 lb AK. Maybe because you have never handeled or shot an AK or maybe you cannot own 1. :evil:

I was joking.
In case others misunderstand.

I would post a picture, but I must be the last guy in America who doesn't have a digital camera. If I see you around the range I'll say Hello.

[1goodshot]

Seems kind of cruel to me to let a bunch of dogs corner and chew up an animal untill you ride up on an atv to shoot it. What happened to getting out and walking?
