Chasing a farm raised animal around in a fenced in area (150 acres) for 3 hours, shooting at it 16 times, 8 of which connected is not “hunting”. That is pure and simple “cruelty to animals”. From looking at the physical condition of the boy, I think I can safely conclude that the chase was conducted by means other than “on foot.”

Like you, Russ. Hmmmm. I am loathe to support anything that restricts our hunting shooting access. And if some folk think that’s hunting – well, then so be it. However, that don’t mean I have to like it.

Johnny, you may be a bit quick to assume things, such as that a large (in all dimensions) young feller wouldn’t have the staying power to hot-foot it after a hog in his sights. Maybe he did, maybe he didn’t. I don’t see where it matters anyhow.

Did you not read that ol’ Fred liked to tear things up (like his own shelter), toss his fellow swine around the pig pen, act aggressively towards folks back at the farm, and whenever he took a notion to go through a fence, he simply strolled through it?

Paul, I used to have much the same mindset, until I did some hog hunting on a friend’s place. It wasn’t walk-out-and-shoot-em-down stuff, unless you got real lucky, which is true of any kind of hunting.

But to each his own, especially in something as personal as hunting. Stay legal, stay safe, and have a good time.

When it isn’t a ‘canned’walk-on-and-shoot hunt then I am all for it. Period.

By the logic of everyone here barring Johnny, I could take an m60 down to a local paddock, set up the bipod and let rip into the hundereds of roos that would be sitting there, and it would be hunting. Or is it only hunting when I shoot for the biggest ones?

Cowards. Buy a crossbow. Steel, nerves, cunning and blood, THAT’S hunting. What the chubby lad did is referred to as “spraying and praying” and has as much to do with hunting as lebanon has to do with ayers rock, which is to say, nothing.

And Russ, I do believe hunting is quite a sociable activity, what with the stalker and the stalked… Suicide! Now that’s personal.

Ben, that’s BS and you know it. Looks like you’re just trying to make folks mad. There’s no other reason for your wild exaggeration, name-calling, and high-and-mighty attitude.
