Yeah I was gonna say no one shed a tear for Emus

I actually plan on doing my hunting with a semi-auto FAL or a Swedish M38

we have an undeclared war on feral pigs in the southern US

Ha, yeah

The fuckers are even in VA where I am from

Can't you use binary explosives against them?

sure

Coyotes too, fuck them

I know of one outfit that uses helicopters and grenade launchers

We have a den in the woods a quarter of a mile below us, every year we shoot them as they crest the hill

The bastards have the gall to come into our yards and everything

I both rue and look forward to the day I have to deal with nuisance animals larger than squirrels

I have a lot of .223 and .22 that needs burning and I don't want to waste it all on paper.

I've heard that when a boar is charging you 5.56 isn't preferable

I'd prefer not to be in that position in the first place.

But yeah

I see the point in that.

You'd need something to make sure he gets put down fast.

I wouldn't hunt boar with 5.56 tho

It can do the job but .308 would be better for boar

^

I was going to say I'd do .308

Or slug

I was going to go boar hunting on a whim while I was in Texas but it required a reservation to grab a slot

I haven't ever been hunting, but I'd love to.

Don't know anyone who does

you sit still for 3 hours waiting for the 30 minutes to line up your shot to spend 3 seconds pulling the trigger

and my god those 3 seconds are perfect

I miss living in GA. I used to spend hours in the woods

I was going to say, I have no problem with that at all.

That's hunting in general

Just the sheer satisfaction of all that waiting being paid off

Like those fishing days where you catch absolute shit/nothing

And finally get *the hit* just before packing it up.

Just realize you're packing out what you shoot

Yeah

I'm sure 500+lbs of dead weight is fun to drag through the woods

God, I can only imagine moose hunting.

Course, I've seen a lot of large game hunts where they just cut the animal up where they drop it and haul it piece by piece.

You cut it up on location and haul that shit out generally

fuck boars
