I am going after bushpig next weekend. will keep you guys posted.

Wimpie

Good luck! That one is a must do on my list. How will you be hunting? Are you using fermented mealy and sitting in a tree stand?

I have seen one bouncing away into the riverine bush, but never got a clear view.

I hear they are harder to get than one would think!

Good luck,

Good luck ,i always hunt feral hogs with my old bow but iu believe bushpigs are faster and you can only see them at nigth .Post the photos after the hunt.juan

Hope the wind is on your side, they are very nervous when the wind swirls. Keep us uptodate with what happend

Wimpie, Good hunting to you and Lochi.

Just make sure you get a trophy boar and not a trophy lawn.

I will be hunting them over bait (dry hard corn pips, you can hear them better when they crush them while feeding). They are comming close to the farm house, so I hope they do not worry to much about human cent. I do have a house alarm (no audible alarm just keypad lighting up)with a movement sensor to warn me when they are at the bait for in case I do fall asleep .

I have taken a five with my rifle but this will be a first with my Switchback 70 pounds. Gold tip arrows and 125 gr NAP Thunderheads.

Will keep you guys posted and hopefully also have a picture to show.

Wimpie,

Bushpig was one of my favorite and most rewarding hunts. And probably one of the best shots that I've ever made.

Good Hunting

Wimpie,

How did it go?

Good luck,

I missed 3 when bowhunting.

My tracker has the shooting sticks chopped off by 3 bushpigs when tempting to burn long grass.
Lucky he has the sticks, his legs would have been seriously chewed.
A mean cantankerous critter sometimes.

He is looking at You as though You owe him money.

This was the best so far

Bosvark,

Definitely, we aren't speaking of the same beasts.

Your big One is a real Bushpig.
Mine is the so-called RED river hog, for the hide is really RED.
Color let alone, they are almost the same animals with the same ratty comportement.
Aren't they?

Work weather and wife kept me from going. Friday afternoon will see me far from Johannesburg on a farm over bushpig bait.

Wimpie

Good luck, Wimpie!
