Pig Stickers

[Hillbilly]

Hope to see a few of these buried up to the feathers in a hog this weekend. Cane, 650 gr. +-, points are mostly rhyolite, basalt, and hornstone hafted with deer sinew and pine pitch.

very nice sir, look awesome... where you huntin hogs? there some in NC?

[Hillbilly]

Thanks guys. HT, Me, Chris Cade (Mechslasher), and Eddie (Mullet) are going down to Georgia this weekend feral hog hunting. There are quite a few wild Russian Boar here in the Smokies, but they're almost impossible to hunt without a pack of good dogs.

another question for ya hillbilly.. them smokies are they high enough that theres a temp. difference than down lower?

[mullet]

 Mike, he looks like a feral to me, body is too short for a Russian. Nice job on the arrows Steve, looking forward to it. It'll be fun before I take off next week for Louisianna or Brazil. Oh, have you checked out the weather?

I am really gettin the jitters to hunt piggies! One day! ONE DAY!!!

Beautiful points and arrows there. I like Ryolite! Though I think I will stay with obsidian. Don't think I like the amount of self abuse that goes into making them!

Thats what I was thinking too Eddie...I was going by the Slope of the Forehead though...not flat enough for a Russian.... still going to eat Her!!!

Tiller...you can go with my Buddy John...in Lower Michigan....he hunts them in a Tag Elder Swamp....with a Spear....aint no way....I am going to be on the ground with a Spear against a Boar...Nope....uh--ahhh.....no way!!!!

[Hillbilly]

Mike, hard to say-can't see it too good. I'd say that it's a black feral. HT, yeah, there's a lot of difference in elevation/climate. Every thousand feet of elevation is about the equivilant of going 200 miles north. We have elevations close to 7,000 feet. Above 5500' elevation, the climate here is basically the same as southern Canada with the same plant communities: spruce-fir forest, northern hardwoods, lots of Canadian/northern US plants and animals. We've recorded snow every month of the year at the highest elevations. So you can go from deep south to northwoods by driving a few miles.

  Looks just like the right size for the grill.

Well Hillbilly....maybe I need to look into N.C for retirement too....instead of just Tennessee!! The Wife wants nice Winters....I want to go where there is Snow...so this could kill two birds with one stone!!

Eddie....if I can get a Shot at Her....it will be Grill Meat!!!

[D. Tiller]

I am so jealous! If I tried to hunt on the island I am on the tree huggers would be up in arms. You should see them when I wear a cammo T-shirt around town. I just love ticken them off though! So much fun!!!
