OP grand_veneur Campfire Regular Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 2,580 Wallifornia	Little stalking evening yesterday, south of Spa ... I saw one pregnant sow at 35 yards, one big bull red stag (8x8) at 50 yards, one roe deer and finished the hunt litteraly surrounded by 8 piglets and all size and sex boars ... just a few yards away (pictures at less than 5 yards)I wasn't able to shoot one, piglets were too small and when I saw bigger ones it was too dark to check their sex or see my reticle. Va t'in tch�re !

You need to visit those tasty little critters with a good .22LR in tow. Should be just about right for snack size porkers Member: Clan of the Turdlike People.

US - introduced invasive, pedigree unknown Europe - native game animal To take one of those little ones would be the equivalent of shooting a newborn fawn here in the states.
