Warthog trophy fees?
Should warthog trophy fees be increased? At least they can be exported to the US, unlike cheetah... Have a look at attached video and tell me waht you think.

Great video - perhaps that warthog knew the cats has already eaten!!!

If all the rest of the warthogs are like that "cheeky" one, it could be put into the dangerous class.


Lo do they call to me,
They bid me take my place
among them in the Halls of Valhalla,
Where the brave may live forever.

Warthog are definitely dangerous. We had one charge on my last Safari. Very nearly got the PH. One of the most exciting points of the trip.

I think pigs are some of the most fun animals to hunt in africa...Hunting them on foot can be a blast.

I think Warthogs are very underrated as tropohies. Damned smart critters! I didn't know they were as nutty and aggressive as those in the video. What in hell got into that pig?

I think you summed up why Saeed calls his best friend "Walterhog".

No, warthog trophy fees should not be increased. Great video!

Wow. I did not take my last PH seriously when he said the warthog was agressive.

Now that is a hog. Takes a great deal of testicular mass to stick a long tooth up a cheetah's butt.

Karl,

Classic video. Thanks for posting.

I see typical Kalahari sand in foreground. I see typical Kalahari trees and grass in middle ground, but seems like a non-Kalahari hill in right background. Where was the video taken?

In good hunting.

Karl,

Brings back some scary memories! I was charged by a wounded wartie from 5 meters when I was still stupid 15 or so and it all hapenned in slow motion. He did cut my leg and I kicked him back and shot him at pointblank.

But watching the video made me realise how quick they are and how quick everything must have happened I'm getting shivers down my spine just thinking about it. 80kg +- of pure muscle and they are pigheaded as well. lol

I always try to use enough gun but then sometimes a brainshot works just as good.

Andrew, sorry, I do not know where it was taken, as I did not take the footage. It was sent to me by a friend. I do think that the "hill" in the background could be a low dune, or it might be close to Gobabis/ Leonardville in Namibia, which technically still constitutes Kalahari.

Fred, I had a young one charging about 18 months ago. I shot it with a lever actioned .357 Mag at point blank range, so close it left powder burns. (Photo might be too grapic to post...?) This shot was made one-handed (as I was walking very casually with the rifle in one hand), into its face, too low to hit anything vital, but luckily it turned him. He ran off 20 odd meters, turned, and came again. This time I was ready for him, and dropped him for good. They sure can be cheeky.

That reminds me of a similar event I witnessed in Kenya in the 80s, except that rather than a cheetah and warthog, it was a rhino and an elephant. The ele was drinking at a waterhole, with the rhino hanging back observing, and getting a bit agitated. All of of sudden, the rhino backed up, then charged at the elephant. With a good head of steam, Mr. Rhino rammed the ele right solidly in the arse area. The ele spun around, and a heavyweight testosterone party ensued. Soon after, the rhino backed down and trotted off. I was so enthralled, I missed getting the actual ramming on film, but I have pictures somewhere of the ensuing melee. Amazing stuff. Thanks for posting that footage of the bold swine. Funny stuff!

Oh, my! That must have made for some gut jelly that day, eh? The powder burns are clear as day. Saved yourself some cooking time in the end, no doubt... Wink

Thanks for the pic.

Karl, what kind of bullet were you shooting in that levergun?


I hunt, not to kill, but in order not to have played golf....
