Madness -- excellent pics! Thanks for posting!

Very nice !!!
Seems it was quite an exciting hunt

Lovely pics! Thanks for posting!

Nice photos thank you ,what kinf of dogs do you use .Juan

cheers guys

juanpozzi at the moment ive got two whippet/hunterway/lab x's
and a bully/cattle i had another bully/cattle for a couple of months late last year but he kept hitting goats and was starting to teach the rest to do the same so he got a bit of lead poisioning.

i am getting a dogo x soon to join the pack

this is my main dog Pace a whippet/hunterway/lab x

Madness, what's a hunterway? That dog looks like it has more than a little pitpull in it. Beautiful dog. How much does it weigh?

hey whitworth a hunterway is a dog breed we have here used by farmers to round up stock and all though pace is 1/4 hunterway it doesn't show in her

i have her litter sister aswell and don't have any pit bull in them as far as i know but you never know with x breeds
they look nothing like the rest of there litter mates which show a lot more of the hunterway in them

this is scobby her sister i haven't ever weighed either of them but would say they would be between 15-20kg max

Nice dogs ,my dogos always kill feral goats because i permitted them to do that ,nevertheless you have to be wacthfull with your dogo because in minutes they can kill all your goats or lambs it happened even with apparently quiet dogs .JUAN

its a big no no over here dogs hitting goats as like you said sheep will be next.
as alot of our hunting is near farm land it pays to have your dogs stock proof and this inclueds goats

Are breders of dogos in New Zealand ,please post their websites if you know of one .Juan

Madness if you want to come you can come to hunt boars with the dogos for free ill like to show you my dogs we can hunt with afrikaader too ,he loves dogos and knife hunting.Juan

cheers for the offer juanpozzi that sounds good to me


here is a link to a dogo breeder here
http://www.monteriaboarhunts.co.nz/forum/index.php

A lot of members of AR hunted with me thats the manner i meet my now good friend afrikaader ,or jefferydenmark and a lot came as clients ,wilpork came evryyear as a guest and i went to his home to hunt withetails .Juan

do you have any photos of your dogs and pigs you have caught i had a look at the link of yours but it wasn't working

Madness the website is working i just try it ,but you can see jeffery denmark posts ,or willy1953,or juanpozzi you will see a lot of pictures of my dogs and boars see RonL too he hunted two big boars with me .Juan

I take it those NZ pigs don't have fleas & ticks

they very rearly have fleas but most are riddled with ticks which can end up all over you but it just part of the job

I would like to hunt with rattlesnaker ,MADNESS,and walker here so try to come together i invite you free .Juan

Wow, thanks for the invite Juan. Right now my next and first international hunt is gonna be in East Africa somewhere for a Cape Buffalo. I'm pretty old to be chasing dogs. I did it for over 20 years down in South Texas. Quit when I moved to town about 9 years ago and didn't have anyplace to keep dogs.

once again juanpozzi thanx i don't no when i will beable to get there but would be very keen to have a hunt over there.
where abouts in Argentina are you ?
i know very little about your country exept you arn't to bad at soccer and havn't beaten the all blacks at rugby yet

If Madness brings his avatar girl and her sister I will make the trip.

Im in Cordoba the central country but in Argentina you have wild boars and hogs of differnt types from the jungles and rain forest of the north to the snow desrt and woodlands of la patagonia ,we are the best of the world in Polo too and we breed the best polo horses in the world ,soccer is very popular altghou i use to play rugby and practice martial arts ,i would love to show you a bit of the country friends.Juan

Is that a Ruger 99/44 deerfield in the last photo? If it is how do you like it on pigs?

hi fgulla yes it is a ruger 44 one of the newer ones with the rotory mag
i also have two of the older tube mag deer carbins

the 44 mag is great calibre on pigs and deer out to 100m
which covers what i use them for shooting bailed pigs and sika deer in tight scrub

i hand load for it with 240gr hornadys

"Mad" Kiwi pig hunters.

Madness

Nice! I have one of the newer models, i shoot the Speer 270gr gold-dot factory load in it. I have only killed one white tail buck with it. I have used the 44mag in a win 94 to shoot a black russian boar. One shot right in the shoulder and he dropped and wiggled some then died. The 250gr Win/Partition gold factory load penetrated the shield completely and was found under the skin weighing 231grs, awesome performance! Good hunting to ya, looks like your having a blast....
