My favorite right now. Menefee Bigger Better Boner: This is what happens when knife makers approach middle age.

geedubya how do you get rid of the boar hog stink to eat them? the ones in ne fla smell so bad cyote & buzzards dont eat them they seem to be like that in Georgia too. Where I hunt them in middle GA, we just discard the boars, and process and eat only the smaller females.

This thread certainly is... interesting! Gdub, you ever kill any deer?

If I walk up towards a boar that I've downed and I can smell him 15 paces away, no I don't bother with the meat. However boars 200 lbs and under don't seem to be too much of a problem. I'd rather take a good sow. I shot/snared 21 hogs in April and May. Sometimes I just take the hinds and backstaps and don't bother opening them up. Especially when its way hot out. Snared this guy last time at my lease. Took the head for the tushes and the backstraps/loins and the hinds. Ate just fine. Got this guy in April. No problem with the meat! Took this sow in may. She was prime. I prefer sows and boars under say 120 lbs for table fare, but the Abuelas at my trailer parks make some mighty tasty tamales out of boars or sows. ya! GWB

From time to time I shoot deer. Betwen 2003 and 2009 I let my oldest son take my good bucks. My passion is perforating and snaring hoglets. It is legal to do that 24/7/365 by any legal means. Rick Menefee who is a government animal control agent sez he thinks big old boars are a ton smarter than old bucks. I did get on a south Texas low fenced lease this year. May end up shooting a buck if he excites me! ya! GWB

I don't hunt high fence. I hunt "working-man" low fence hill country ranches. I turned down three chances to go to my sons high fenced lease he had last year. Here is the buck his 20 year old step son took about 30 minutes after corning a sendero. First buck. Better than anything I've taken in my life. But to me that's not hunting. I earn my bucks! I gave him the Todd Theyn knife a couple days earlier as his Christmas present. They skinned six deer with that knife. ya! GWB

Please God let that be a joke.
Clark Most assuredly it was, and the bit about the calluses was a nice touch, particularly if some goose falls for it.

Hard to beat a 3.5" to 4" drop point for everything till on the butcher block.
Does the opening, splitting, slitting, severing, coring, skinning and quartering. Tim That's how I feel. You could take a 1/2" off that though

Not an experienced hunter, but my favorite general purpose blade would be the Shanghai warrior by cold steel. The SK-5 steel blade is very corrosion resistant and can take tons of abuse without becoming dull, and it's wide and over 9" long so if you stab a game animal and twist it will create a massive wound channel, suitable for bringing down boars and in case you get attacked by a large predator. Planning on using it if I go hog hunting with dogs. Sweet Jesus. Dave Well...uh... yeah. Maybe he is envisioning leaping upon a deer and tearing it to pieces in a flurry of adrenaline fuelled activity? No. I'm envisioning the dog(s) grabbing the hog by the face, and then I finish it with the knife.

Big deal dick, that is a local pastime for everything from children to pensioners, nothing special and not interesting.

Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
Ain’t easy havin pals.
