This is a clip from a month or so ago of a 200 lb boar killed with a pack of dogs and an Argentine "machete de ingenieros". boar with knife

BTT

John,
Muy, muy muy bueno !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very very good, the best thing I have seen around for a while!!!

I think I will go for a drink in your honour

Please let me know where you will be hunting next time...I don´t wont to froze my ass at a waterhole the whole night 100 miles near those dogs !!!

(Had to wait until I got home to download and watch).

Very nice. Is it you in the clip? Whose dogs? They weren't quite ready to let go of the boar!

Myself, I am not into throwing them over my shoulders and carrying them, though.

Thank You Lorenzo for your kind words. I am in La Pampa all of March and Most of April and February, but just let me know when you will be here next and we will meet. Boar hunting is open all year. Salud!!

Hi Charles,
Yup, that´s me, beer belly and all. The dogs belonged to Cahti (the guy on the camera) and his brother Juan. Cahti´s dog speedy is always the first on the boar and hits him like a freight train. I swear that dog doesn´t slow down one bit before he crashes into his prey. He is a Argentine dogo Russian galgo cross. Juan's purebred Argentine dogo is the toughest and hardest biter of the bunch. You can hear crunching every time he bites down.

I thought I saw at least one Dogo in the mix. Those are all some good looking dogs.

Nice Boar I enjoyed the clip very much also good looking dogs. Thanks for sharing

Aloha!!!

Very nice chase and finish.

I hope you didn't have to walk too far back to the truck with it on your back....

congratulations,this is the most traditional argentina monteria so diffunded by the nores martinez family whom im a good friend.Its nice to see the dogos in action,i beleve the dogo is the best boar hunter dog in the world ,my wifes use to have 18 dogos and i personally have 6 .juan thanks for showing our national dog to the world great video.

Damn nice. Good looking dogs, I love it. Wish my knees were younger.
Gene

the dogs stole the show i think you could have done with about three less dogs though.

awesome video, thanks for sharing
make us all jealous

now i gotta do my own pig knife hunt now

Aloha Ultramag. I know from your posts that you have stuck quite a few piggies yourself.
Good hunting.

Juan,
I would have to agree. Overall the Argentine dogo is the best breed for boar that I have any experience with.

Gene,
Don't we all. In one part of our anatomy or another.

Boom,
It was a bit overkill. But, didn't they do a fine job? They worked together all on one side like they knew that they should leave a spot for the sticker. One dog only stayed on the stick side to protect (should always keep a dog between you and the pig and never come at him from the front). Also it is better IMHO too have too many and not too few. Some big boars will not be stopped, and spin and slash then run some more and do this over and over and you never catch up. This boar only weighed 200 pounds but you ocasionally run into one weighing 400 pounds.

Cheers.

yes this dog for the news is a cross btween spanihs mastiff,bull dog,bull terrier,pointer,pirinean mastiff,great dane,irishwolfhound,boxer by the nores marinez specifically breeded for big game ,the skin is very thick ,they are very strong ,excepcional nose,the white color is to be not mistaken with a boar and to be seeing at long distance.John i remember you from the sci meeting in el rancho grande i organized 9 or 10 years ago ,you are a real nice guy .Remember the meeting where martinez de hoz showed the videos of the SCI .JUAN

My back won't let me hoist and carry a pig that size, but wouldn't want to either. Too many fleas and ticks, at least the ones here in S. Tx have them.

Juan,
I laughed out loud when I remembered that meeting just now, and all this time me thinking that we had never met. I am friends with Amestoy here in Cordoba City, also a friend of yours. Small world.

Aloha John...I agree with your comments on the amount of dogs used as my experiences has been along the lines of what you explained about the big boars that will fight and run these will kill dogs quick especially here in Hawaii where I live as the terrain is very unforgiving and the vegetation is very thick so at times it takes awhile to get to the dogs so the more the boar breaks the greater chance of the dogs getting hurt.

Ive stuck a few but I have alot more to go



Aloha!!!

Very good teamwork the dogs displayed on that boar.

UltraMag -- You killed Alf!

JOHN I REMEMBER THAT YOU HAVE A VERY NICE MCMILLAN RARE IN THAT DAYS IN CORDOBA,YES GUILLE IS A VERY GOOD FRIEND HE MADE A SPECTACULAR 458 FOR ME BASED IN A 1909 AFTER I TOOK HIM TO HUNT BUFFALOS, ILL LIKE TO MEET YOU AGAIN JOHN YOU WILL LIKE MY DOGOS.JUAN

Good, I hate Alf!....


But, I really LIKE UltraMag's pigtails!

You guys are hilarious

Cane thanks for the kind words.

Charles I never cared for Alf myself so I took it as a compliment that I took him out someone had to do it

I'm suprised you got anything wearing 3 different camo patterns. The poor boar musta been too confused to fight or run. What a hunting fashon faux paux... (see avatar)

Collins,

Actually the dog in the background of the pic got him I just stabbed him camo had nothin' to do with it where we hunt camo is pretty much useless as by the time you see the pig and vice versa hes pretty much at your feet.

BTW he wasnt too confused as he took all of a split second to cause some very heavy damage to a couple of our other dogs. He was actually sneaking away from the main dogs when he ran into us and three dogs grabbed him only the one in the background didnt get flown off thats when I grabbed him and stabbed him with only that one dog on him. But thats the way I like it

Me too. Who'da thunk that a picture of a woman with a dead pig on her back could actually be kinda hot.

All locker talk and objectification aside, however, great pic UltraMag! And many congrats on ridding the world of that annoying alien.


JohnAir...can't download your vid clip for some reason????
Cheers,
Canuck

I'm thinking an UltraMag calendar would sell pretty well around here...different animals being carried off, ponytail vs. pigtail shots, etc.

Wow - you guys are unbelievable. You're going to run off our only female hog hunter that frequents these boards. Of course, it takes more than a few comments to offend a female hog hunter.

I blame my overbearing Catholic mother

Sorry guys it took me awhile to get off the floor from laughing so damn hard you guys are too much. A calender come on now but hey you never know if it'll help me get to New Zealand sooner I......Well lets not go there

I know its all fun guys no worries, Thanks Rattlesnaker but youre right it takes a whole lot to offend a lady hog hunter trust me on that one.

Have a good day fellas and stop giving me side pain from laughing so hard actually it could be worse someone coulda said they cant tell which one is the pig now that would be offensive

ALOHA!!!

I think a calendar sounds like a good idea. Especially if they all look like ultramag

You know it's getting about that time of year for the 2006 calendars to come out

Good video, got my heart pumping there for a minute!

Finally got to see the video. Must have been something to do with the company firewall. Just got high speed at home and it worked fine. Great stuff JohnAir!!

One of my old bosses married a Kiwi, and on a trip back to NZ in 1999 he picked up a book about pig hunting with dogs and knives. Lent it to me when he got back...great read. I have been fascinated by it since, but have never had a chance to do it. Now I know what it actually looks like! Thanks JohnAir.

Collins: U R right. I only said "kinda" cuz I am bashful.

Ultramag: thanks for taking it so well! I am sure being a hunter you have heard it all before anyway. Hope you get to NZ soon!!

Cheers,
Canuck

Canuck,

Thanks! Yeah I heard alot trust me but its all in fun and I really enjoy this board and it would take alot to drive me away I think you guys are stuck with me for awhile so get used to it!!!

ALOHA!!!

Glad to hear how much you like it around here. This is like my home away from home. Have been posting on AR since it was born in '98. I really enjoy the diversity...we get everyone here...young, old, guys, gals, and from every ethnic / geographical background.

Aloha!
Canuck

ps: Don't let any of our good natured ribbing discourage you from posting more pics! Oops...I just did it again didn't I.

I loved Ol' Alf ... But I am glad he was taken out fighting in the jungles of Tropical Hawaii by some fierce lady hunter - and not a roadkill in down town Hollywood.
