Like the arrow. I know (or have heard at least) there are feral deer in Australia but do you hunt kangaroos down there also? What about feral pigs? There is an epidemic of them in Florida...to the point that on private property there is no age limit, bag limit, sex limit, size limit or seasonal limit. The only limit there was was that it had to be between dawn and dusk but now you can hunt at night with lights including spotlighting. You don't even need a hunting license EVEN IF YOU ARE FROM OUT OF STATE.

On my bucket list to hunt feral pigs.

Come to Florida. PLEASE!

In fact the state has people on payroll whose only jobs are catching and slaughtering feral pigs. Some areas of woodlands look like you ran a rototiller through it. A hunt club I belonged to was like that. On his game camera a friend of mine got pictures of herds that were too large to count...well over a hundred in one herd. There are people (neighborhoods mainly) that will pay you to get rid of the pigs

That sounds like fun.!
I've been wanting to get more use outta my 300 Win Mag., wouldn't be caught hunting pigs, with a bow, and no side arm.

Cheers Paul. We have lots of ferals, pigs included but hunting skippy or any native fauna is a no no . There maybe exceptions for farmers if there is a cull on roos for some reason but I'm not sure about that.

Saw my mate today who is handling our house sale & he says he's seen some big pigs around in our old stomping grounds like B.I.G PIGS. I hope our sale & relocation goes rapido so we can go huntin'

It'll be all new for me as we only used to flyfish together before but I've been practicing nearly everyday now for about 3 years with my bows so I'm feeling quietly confident.

Just a fyi. There are wild pigs seen in the streets of Rome lately. Must be serious with the hot weather up there.

Everyone thinks you need a canon for feral pigs but I shot this one with my .270.


Dropped him like a bad habit.
My dad used to use a .22 for pigs. It's all about shot placement. That's true with everything really but the big difference with feral pigs is if you walk up on a sow that has a litter they will sometimes attack you. I don't know what it is about Florida.There are these crazy guys here that hunt feral pigs with a big knife. They use three dogs. Usually it's 2 Rhodesian Ridgebacks and one bulldog. The Ridgebacks will bay it up and then they release the bulldog that will go grab it by the nose and then the guy runs up and jabs it with a big knife. That's a high testosterone level hunt if you ask me. What I think is funny about it is they put these big vests like a bulletproof vest on the dogs but the guy doesn't have any protection. Whacky stuff. I have a ridge back but the only thing he hunts is a comfyer spot on the bed.


He's a big boy though. 30 1/2" at the withers and 120lbs
