Go find a wood worker and give him a one hundred dollar bill and he will give you a pointy stick, thats the starting point.

Find a branch of suitable diameter and sit on it.. Spin until desired point is produced, or your mom comes hope and whoops your butt for using her computer and phone books..

I figure you are in a preserve that only allows one pig at you at a time.

Most around here pack up in groups of 6 to 12 and will tree anyone. When gored or cut or shot they make noise that brings more.

Takes a man with partners in life and a small pack of hunting dogs.

One man I knew was up a 6" tree with six boar tusking the bottom. He reserved the 4 30-30 shells for himself. Then two friends came to see what was going on - they got all six.

Well, for boar you *really* don't want a wholly wooden spear, unless you fancy geting real up close and personal with a wounded wild boar. Classically, boar spears were short, with wide blades on a long steel head. The head should also have a strong central rib to keep it from folding or breaking in the boar. The blades were wide (and sharp)to maximize the chance of cutting some major artery. Also, and this is kinda critical, boar spears had an iron crossbar maybe a foot long a little below the head. This was to keep the boar from charging up the spear to gore you while you are congratulating yourself on a successful spearing. A little practice on a dummy beforehand is a good idea too, since you have exactly one shot to hit some vital organs. If you miss, you're toast, one way or another. Oh

- you will want to use something like ash or oak for the shaft. It has to be strong and not brittle because if the shaft breaks with the boar on one end and you on the other, you're toast. One other thing - the classic boar spearing method is to kneel and let the charging boar impale himself while you hold the spear steady and well-braced. That is really the only way to get enough power behind the spearhead impact to stand a chance of getting a killing blow - you can't throw a spear hard enough to kill a wild boar, or even mortally wound one, and you gotta ask yourself if you want to be within spear-throwing distance of five hundred pounds of pissed-off, lightly wounded wild boar. Hope this helps - if you survive, be sure to write and tell us about your hunt.

The troll got 12 points for 12 people replying to newsgroup fj.kanji. (so far).

I don't mind replies, but let's not encourage more trolling for points.

Check the troll's activity

You do know that pig's are not native? RIght? Many state F&W have no limit, no license, they want those pigs GONE.

Yeah. I read all 12 looking to see if someone had eliminated the kanji group. but none till you.

There's one born every minute, as Barnum said.

C'mon folks - quit falling for this troll. It's happened enough times on this group that all should be aware of it by now.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Even a troll has its "silver lining." Did you check the link in Charlieb's post?

Rep - no limit and some towns have bounty on an ear.

We have an invasion of them - over population.

Dig up yards - mine is 7 acres - and I have holes and plows here and there.

You should see what it does to a grave yard! Not a good thing. Homes that own the yard call professional hunters.
