Keep it sporting !!!

30 cal or 375 using solids, line up 2 or more at once and
make sure you can all shoot / reload fast.

Now that was a bunch o' pigs.
GWB

L-shaped ambush with daisy-chained Claymores!

Ya just need one of them .223 mini guns..that'd work

I never imagined that they gathered in such herds!
Is this common in Europe?

Not sure in Europe except what I have seen in DVD's
BUT the pigs are a herd animal and they collect
in herds here in Aust (Except the old boars).

Good to watch.

Wow!

The setting appears to me to be typical Western European forest. Where I couldn't say but I COULD imagine somewhere in Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, etc.? Just a WAG!

I've never seen a Sounder (Rotte) of Piggies that large. Something LARGE for us would be 25-40. Here in The Fatherland they typically appear in groups much smaller than that; say, 6-15 (1 or 2 family groups).

In forest like that on a Drive Hunt once the shooting starts they can disappear PDQ!

i haev seen video's like these, usually from france where it is under fence, and the pigs are raised there, sometimes in smaller penns and then let go into the bigger fenced area for the shoot. i have never seen a rotte this big anywhere.

with that said, it is said that germany has problems with their pigs

i think the sporting solution would be several pegs with 12 bore pairs and loaders and plenty of ammo.

Yes, and the Pigs are'nt just all in the Forest, too!

Wow! That's a lot of bacon!

Peter,

Actually we're cancelling more hunts than we attend at the moment - snow's so deep that it's unsporting to Drive them.

The Dogs catch the smallish Piglets and forget about driving the remainder of the Sounder.

In all reality they are pretty hampered by the snow; not moving much even when you sit for them and it's sad to see them all outa sorts when they are being driven.

We'll wait it out .....

gerry

our snow is going away at the moment, and it is a nice balmy 2-4 degrees

7.62mm Dillon Aero minigun...





Combine this rig with the NVG kit on those tactical hog hunting posts - and you have a potential real winner for thinning the hog population.

Stick a spotlight on top of it.

Light hits animals, pull the trigger.

Has anyone got an estimate on the number of boar here that they are comfortable with? I lost count around 60. At the end of the video, I was wondering if the last pigs in the line were considering a frontal attack to pin the camera in place so the bulk of the herd could overrun the camera from the flank. Could you imagine the scene if some one shot a pig or two out of that mob? Bang, flop, stampede, drop the camera and get behind a tree.

I was in a similar size mob of pigs over here
and you would be surprised.

I was hunting a Big Buffalo - and I was standing still, hoping my mate would drive the Buff to me.

Anyway, a mob of 60 - 80 pigs come trotting along, a fair few very small piglets in it.

As i stood still and didn't move, they gradually moved towards and around me, until a sow caught wind of me and alarm sounded and they bolted.

Not one of them hit me.

i'd rather have fine krieghoff 8X57, but hey that's me.

Believe me, it was the only time I have been in that situation
and if I wasn't hunting Buff I would have shot the living crap
out of them.

That was a good video. Ive never seen that many hogs before. Seems like it would be hard to pick one out that you wanted to shoot.

When the numbers are that high and they are close together,
you try to get 2 at a time. Believe me, it works.

Someone ask Craftsman about multiples on hogs. That guy used to line them up with his 8x57, I think he got 3 hogs once and another time got 2 deer. He told me he went for neck shots on the hogs, less pork to shoot thru.
