Cupid Stunt 18 Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 If you wanted to see wild boar you would be waisting your time going to Austalia they only have feral pigs to see truely wild boar being hunted you would be able to stay a lot closer to home and just pop over to mainland Europe. To be quite honest i don't think they or anyone with an interest in taking them gives two fucks whether they are true wild boar or ferals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bullmastiff 615 Posted July 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 This is what I was on about, training your dogs to stop the boar either by baying or AMM to make the bugger sit down!!! (asshole munching method!) Thanks to Eric for helping get the pics! And I've now seen why big dogs are rarely used in Europe on Wild Boar (don't forget boar don't just rip with tusks they can bite back as well!) and dogs required for that type of hunting are going to cause massive carcase damage!

chartpolski 23,103 Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 In New Zealand they come in all sizes and colours, the ginger one with the straight tail is a "Captain Cooker" and grow huge. Allthough they are feral pigs, after a few generations they revert to type and are every bit as dangerous as the European Wild Boar. These two were taken, (allong with many more !!), around the Tokaroa area in the nineties. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kiwi 4 Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 :11: think the term sows is more like it countryman, if thats [bANNED TEXT] is passing as wild boar in cornwell ya don't need any dogs at all mate a bucket of maize and a 'here pig pig pig' should put them in the pot. the true capatain cooker is black with a huge front shoulder and small arse end, they bred ture to type and have done for many years. kane mate ya need to stop branding the aussie and kiwi pig as just a hog gone wild, they have bred themselves back to a wild boar that has adapted to it's new country hence the differents in weight. the fight would still be the same regardless of [bANNED TEXT] name ya call them. those jagd terriers look handy dogs but not my cup of tea those sort of pics. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kane 2 Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 After watching footage of feral pigs being hunted in NZ Aus and even in the UK and then watching footage of truewild boar being hunted in Europe it is quite obvious even to me that there is a world of difference.

kiwi 4 Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 well i guess all that video footage must overide anything else on the matter if ya let two white female domestic rabbits go into the wild population how many hundreds of years would ya have to wait before ya can call any of the offspring rabbits?????

I hear in NZ and Aus you have problems with packs of feral dogs or do you call them wolves :11: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shanedog 0 Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 The boss reckons my sheepdogs are wolves, the way they can pull down a sheep. Useless b*****ds couldn't catch a piglet though lol. A 500 pound pig probably wouldn't last long in our hills, pigs adapt to their surroundings very quickly. Just as a big fat hunter wouldn't last long either A 90 pound feral boar, can kill a team of dogs as fast as any purebred russian boar can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kiwi 4 Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 gotta love them creekbed pic's dude. good bit of ivory showing on that pig too nah we get the odd lost dog or pigdog in nz, and have had wild packs living in some areas in the past but they soon die out or are shot. aussie does have it's native dingo which is a dingo not a wolf, wolves live in the northen hemesphere. and if wolf type x breeds where liberated in aussie and nz after a few hundy years i'm sure they would have breed back to a surviving type of wolf suited to the local conditions. the pigs released to aussie and nz where never in a pure bred state and carried the wild boar blood, as all domestic pigs do. surival of the fittest has seen the pig in nz/oz breed to it's current state. i'd go out on a limb and say that using smaller bailing type dogs like the jagd would out last any bullx in containing boars over 250lbs. failing the opition of using dogo's and a knife.

Shanedog 0 Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 (edited) Will the Jag's bail though , from what i've heard, they will dismantle the muscle tissue from the whole pig first chance they get. A bit like another kind of bailing dog we have here. :whistle: Edited July 18, 2006 by Shanedog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
