XBow 2 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 As many already know, wild pigs were released into the British countryside some time ago, there are several sounders of feral pigs in Kent, The Forest of Dean, Sussex and Devon. As wild creatures, I suppose they belong to no one. The state says they can be hunted, firstly with the land owners permission, and secondly, with suitable fire power- rifles. I am wondering what others think of the bow ? It is light, almost silent, cheap, and need no license. It might be illegal for hunting purposes in the UK, but it is allowed in France, Poland, Turkey and others countries. Has anyone been abroad to hunt ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WILF 46,901 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 The boar in the southern counties matter little in relation to your question because as you say it is illegal......what's more, I would hate to think that some clown with little experience was running round like Tonto with a f*****g bow in the southern counties. But, you can buy a plane ticket to the states and fill your boots and get shown the way by experienced bow hunters 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Waz 4,262 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 A few friends bowhunt. Where I hunt you need to get a ticket to go hunting with a bow, one thing I would like to do one day when I get the time. From all that ive heard from friends in Europe, the bowhunters from the states are top of the tree (geddit). Just got given a magazine from a fella that is into big game hunting, safari style, lots of bow hunting for sale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
