We hunted at Loshbough's hunting range in Crossville Tennessee. Here are some approximated stats....

Those all look to be really big pigs. Nice going by all! A question for all you folks: Several of these pigs look like they have a very pronounced ridge of hair running down between the front shoulders, one that is a lot more pronounced than on the ones I have shot here in TX. I have read that that is a characteristic (another being a very long snout...) of "Russian" pigs that were imported back a long time ago. I have also read that there is no such thing as Russian swine, that everything in the states is just plain old European swine that were first brought here by explorers. Anybody have a definitive answer? | |||

I believe that the term Russian really should read European. What we have in the States is mainly feral. I hunted European boar in Missouri a couple of years ago, but that stock was trucked in from Canada and believe me that it looks nothing like the ferals I hunted in Florida.

Doubless, While I am certainly no boar expert I can only tell you what the owner/guides were discussing. While they used to bring in hogs from Cananda in the past, apparently that is now illegal in Tennessee. From what they said if they capture and bring in hogs those hogs must be from Tennessee. (Of course the exception would be if they went through a thorough quarantine process. However, it seemed as if this was cost prohibitive.) They refered to all of the animals as either Russian's or Feral. Of course they know they interbreed so basically they are just suggesting whether it is genetically more of one than the other. They also said that a large relatively pure breed russian is unlikely to grow over 300lbs. In order for the hogs to grow larger they need to be interbred with feral hogs. As to what kind of hogs we got...who knows, but I believe they are primarily Russian's...(especially the first three greyish ones pictured above.) | |||

Whitworth-- This look anything like the Europeans you hunted? http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a276/dustoffer/CornoMatic1.jpg That is a pic of a rangy old boar on our South Tx lease--weighted about 180 and had 3+" tusks. An old pilot, not a bold pilot, aka "the pig murdering fool" | |||

Dustoffer -- EXACTLY! That looks more European than anything I have seen coming out of Florida -- period! "Ignorance you can correct, you can't fix stupid." JWP If stupidity hurt, a lot of people would be walking around screaming. Semper Fidelis "Building Carpal Tunnel one round at a time" | |||

I assume that this place is a fenced operation... If so, how many acres are available to hunt? This place looks interesting. "The atomic bomb made the prospect of future war unendurable.

Iwould like to organize a group for hunting wild boar here we can live in tents in the bush for 3 days and hunt with the dogos and pay only the boars to the farmers .Juan www.huntinginargentina.com.ar FULL PROFESSIONAL MEMBER OF IPHA INTERNATIONAL PROFESSIONAL HUNTERS ASOCIATION .

ManCannon, It is big. It took a few days of walking around before I saw all sides of it. If the pigs want to run from you they certainly can move off faster than you could keep up. In fact we chased the pigs and dogs one day and never even got a clean shot in 2 hours before finally loosing them. That being said. There were some other groups of hogs that I suspect we more recently stocked, that the dogs were able to bay easily and the shots were quite close. I for one, took my hog about 100yds out without dogs. This was an unusual case however as these hogs were in a neighbors fields and we able to actually drive them out of thick brush to get a shot. The reality is...if you are looking for a relaxing weekend where can enjoy a few pieceful nights while hunting pretty hard during the day it is a perfect place. If you are looking for a hardcore wild bore hunt on the other hand, there may be better places. It all depends on what you are looking for. | |||
