What size shot did you use for that then? Slugs?

[glogin 87]

It was off a combo gun, rifled barrel is chambered in .30-06. I had some shot in case of fox or badger in 12G barrel. Slugs are ok for boar, but usually only used on driven hunts.

Ha ha, maybe I should try listen on headphones before uploading

 

It is a "last bite" tradition quite popular on continent. You honour shot quarry with a "last bite" that you put in boar's or deer's mouth, the second branch is called "a seal" (dont know if that's correct translation...) that goes on to the wound to mark shot placement and the third lightly dipped in blood is called "ownership branch" that you tuck onto your hat.

 

This is more common on driven hunts where all hunters gather after each drive and can see what has been shot, who was successful and see shot placement etc.

 

This is what we do and what my dad shown me when I was a boy and I continue tradition..

 

All the best,

Greg

 

PS: We eat some and the rest goes to the dealer. No better meat than wild boar in my opinion.
