Hello Rob,
Get your War Spear down off the wall, and get out into your back yard, after those Texas wild boars. Your missing a lot of fun!!.
Russ Chastain, the guide for Hunting, at the About.Com web-site, took one of my, #29 Zulu War Spears, on a hog hunt, last weekend in FL. He got 2 hogs, one with a new Sig pistol, and the other with a knife. He let another hunter in their party, Jim, use the spear on his hog, and it worked great.
As Jim said in his E-mail to me today. "I stepped to the side and the hog got by me, and we continued to forge our way through the tangle until we were on top of a snarling, snorting pissed off 85 lb. boar with 2" tusks. We heard a yelp and saw that he had just cut Goldie beneath her Kevlar vest, but Trigger wasn't wearing one, and was hanging on to the side of the boars head". Kenny said, "We gotta kill that hog", and grabbed him by the hind legs and drug him backwards enough that I could get to him. "I pointed your spear at his heart and lunged, I guess my adrenaline was pumping, and your spear had a great edge on it, because I had a complete pass through, with no resistance. The boar lost all his fught right then. I had cut all the arteries going to the heart, and effectively just shut the engine room down." He went on to say that , the spear was sturdily built and made for close in action, and would have done the job on any size boar.
