Ted Newgent 4,896 Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 well since my move to canada,hunting has improved for the table fare. we have a serious problem with wild boars.these things are the hardest damn thing i have ever hunted. here is a few pics of what i have plugged this was good eating,prime weight of around 150lbs shot this 80lber then 15 mins later dropped a nice 4 point whitetail i shot this sow,she weighed in over 350lbs.i thought she was a baby boar because she was next to a 500lb boar rifle is a VZ58 in 7.62x39.this is my goto pig rifle as it tends to drop em right there.i was using a 223 but i was getting too many runners 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ALECTORIS 113 Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Nice hunting spot. I always shoot them with bigger calibers here and with bolt actions or levers but if they're a pest there that rifle of yours must be a pig slayer really handy. Apart from pigs and whites, would you mind telling some more info on other abundant quarry there? Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Apart from pigs and whites, would you mind telling some more info on other abundant quarry there? Cheers i first bought a Heckler & Koch Sl8 in 223 just for pig hunting,but i found the 223 just didnt stop them. so i seen that VZ58 was a non restricted rifle( you can hunt with) and only $1000,plus $70 for the magwell conversion(so i could fit AR15 mags in) and 7.62x39 ammo is damn cheap as hell.the rifle weighs nothing also. all the pigs i shoot are no more than 70 yds,DRT 9 out of 10 times there is an abundance of elk here,where i hunt there is three herds with somewhere around the 400 head in the 8 sq miles moose are also plentiful, mule deer are making a return,we have had a few bad winters,so the deer numbers in general got hit hard. antelope in the southern part of the province bears,brown and black,hunted mostly for the trophy fur but also the meat is eaten by a few geese and ducks.....from the end of august til end of september the sky is just black with birds.i am on a major flight line from the north so the birds flight through here.its just amazing the sheer volume day and night. jack rabbits (hares) are around. cottontail/bush rabbits are around,but you dont see the numbers like you would back in the UK. prairie chickens/grouse (3 or 4 different varieties) are plentiful in the thick bush areas. coyotes are everywhere wolves are around,problematic in certain areas of the province.i have never seen one but i encountered 4 wolves howling around me one day when i was in thick bush hunting deer,i got from there!! beavers,OMG is a battle with those,trap em shoot em,they keep coming back causing massive destruction. the odd red fox,fox tend not to get shot as the keep the mice down. raccoons,shoot on sight muskrats get trapped/shot for the pelts. there is other little critters that the trappers go after for the pelts. i think that just abouts covers it Edited February 9, 2017 by Ted Newgent 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ALECTORIS 113 Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 My word! Envy might not even cover the meaning of what more than one including me are experimenting. What are you doing posting man? Grab a gun right away and forget about us all!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
