pigs in uk

[j1985 1,984]

Well all I can say is I hope they keep escaping and breeding as I love a pork roast!!!

By passed I mean passed away and the dog took them single handed

thats must have been some dog

 

If it's the dog i think, then it was a beast, and of fairly unusual breeding

 

Bully lurcher - apparently they have been known to gang up on a dog.

What pigs is it they hunt in New Zealand? Are they smaller than wild boar? My mates father in law used to catch pigs with dogs out there.

We call em Captain cookers as they were released by the man him self, and the purest strain of the animal dont get much bigger than 120lbs but due to x breeding with domestic breeds they can get to 300lbs fat as. my biggest to date was a young pig weighing 218lb dressed (gutted).

Steve, surely they are not all "Captain Cookers" ? The "Captain Cookers" I saw around Tokaroa and down to Taupo were huge ginger buggers, but they were well outnumbered by the typical black, black and white, spotted types of feral pigs.

 

 

 

This little bugger was unfourtunate to get hit by a car as we ran him out of NZFP land near Toke. What clubs do you hunt with ? We may have mutual aquaintances, although it's been a fair while since I was in NZ.

Cheers.

Yep they come in all shapes and sizes and all colours too! The typical black ones are more like the captain cookers. i dont hunt with any clubs just a couple friends for the enjoyment. I havent hunted toke, and dont like the sounds of hunting through thick blackberry as the gorse i hunt is hard enough. all though the toke club is proberly the biggest club in NZ and has a release program of about $20,000 per year so i hear. some good pigs come outa that place.

I've got family in Rotaroa, although they have no interest in hunting, whenever I was down there they put up with me going out in the dark and coming home in the dark, with tales and photo's of some great places and things we'd been up to ! I was supposed to go and meet Barry Crump, but the old bugger died before I could get across to see him for a yarn ! Next time I'm down, I'll give you a shout !

 

Cheers.

[Boss-Hog 284]

great how so many people know so much but have never seen em in british isles but are experts ,p,s, the pictures was put up on open forum some time ago have fun [bANNED TEXT] [bANNED TEXT] chosen sport an just dream about ours

[Guest born to run1083]

As said, loads of them about, but they get culled to f**k by the gun boys.

 

The right dog could do one, but i think it would take a fecking beast of a dog to handle a full grown adult boar a lone and un-armoured. By far a harder job than a big stag.

Seen a 28inch dog give boar a go look the dog for hell of a ride. Funny really considering there was a herd of fallow right next to the group of boar and he decided boar lol, to do it successfully I would think you'd Need a mastiff type to do them or a very weighty bull type. With brain to hold it in right place as they have one hell of a bite not to mention there tusks, great shame there's a ban now

 

why dont you try your hero, triggers dog it can do everything else including cooking and cleaning

 

or a man of your stature that can bench press 120kg or what ever it was you fed me

Grow up fella I don't even know trigger or havnt seen the mut run. And your a fool 120kg is not very impressive at all many a average man can lift it. It's only 17-18 stone most of thl members weigh more then that

[chewton 7]

I never met my mates father in law but he tried writing about his time in NZ cos he loved it so much and my mate showed me the bit about pig hunting. Dunno how you do it now but he was hunting the pigs on foot through thick cover, up and down hills and through streams and had to get in with a knife to help the dogs finish them and they dont go down without a fight. Not for the faint hearted by the sound of it...mind you maybe he made it up to let his son in law know what he'd get if he took the p1ss!

en lighten me as to what your top weight is on bench press,120kg is not easy and i think your spilling bollocks

[The Duncan 802]

120kg isn't that much to press if you've been training for any length of time.

Happy to prove it if anyone's bothered enough to watch .

2bulls f**k off man you twat get a grip of ya self your dogs r shit

dogs on hogs a great dvd to get see the real power of them hogs ..chuck a good dog around like a 2p piece

Aye and a bunch off brainless yahoos running around with 8" knives, stabbing hogs while the pitts holding them. theres wiser locked up.

anti alert

To begin with I'm far from what you just stated. If you knew me personnally you wouldnt have had the balls to say that only on a computer as I would bring you on much pain fella.

Have you seen the DVD in question?

I think not, well I have it, and though most off it is entertaining and the hounds work well keeping the pigs at bay till the big dogs are brought along with there chest plates to hold the hogs while the lads cut the testicales off them and then release, that's for reasons I don't think you would have the brain to understand so I won't explain it. Point is at one stage there is a big dog on a hog in a swamp and some halfwit jumps up to his chest in the water and starts swinging a knife like someone not fking wise. Not only does he nearly stabb himself and the dog but he does a pathetic job to even wound the hog while near drowning himself in the proceeds. If you don't think that's stupid then it shows me the kind off f@ckbag you are.

 

first of all I was joking, and secondly dont be sad act and make threats on the tinterweb theres a good lad.

 

bring you on much pain!!! :laugh: :laugh:

 

I always attract them shaun.

Your obviously a twat thinking that accusing people off being anti 's is a joke !!!!

Not were I'm from anyway, you wouldn't last a crack carrying on like that !

I don't buy that for a second it just proves to me you know less than you would like to think so obviously you try and make a joke out off it to make yourself look better because you've fk all else to say on the matter since I pointed out you bring a prat.

You've plenty off growing up to do, or you'll learn the hard way.

how daft are you, you dont have a clue who you talking to you mug. Anyone who brags about weighing "your green" at just over 28grams for an Oz is never reyt in my eyes. Your probably an anto the way you took this to heart.
