As far as this video goes, if he's going to eat the animal then I don't care how it's taken as long as it's done as quickly as possible with the least amount of suffering possible. Looked to me like he killed the black hog in a single strike.., pretty damn efficient if you ask me.

Doing some digging, the poster is from Missouri, and hunting regulations do not mention hunting with a tomahawk or anything like it there. (though an atlatl is allowed for some hunting, go figure)
The main issue with me is ruining it for the rest of us hunters. In my province in Canada it seems there's new regulations every year. Too many already consider us the bad guys as they go to the store to buy hormone injected meat chunks that were penned up under fluorescent lights and wallowed in filth their whole lives. Trying out his new piece of crap m48 mall ninja toy on an animal and posting it on the internet is not doing anything but showing him as an immature little turd that wasn't satisfied with drowning puppies.

I'm also from Missouri, but I'm not familiar with hog hunting regulations. I've been told that they're such a problem here that it's basically been declared open season on feral hogs, but I don't know if there are specific methods that have to be followed. I'll have to check with a few of the conservation guys I know.

Well said. All that video does is get people pissed off at hunters. We don't need that.

For the record I am a dedicated vegetarian who eats from what he grows. (I have my own fruit and vegetable garden.) I have not ate a single piece of meat for the the last 15 years or so and I try not to buy any products made from using animal's resources. (but the reality is that that is unavoidable in many cases.) Anyways, I would only condone killing an animal in a survival situation for food or in a defense situation where you are being attacked or someone else is being attacked by an animal.

Feel free to flame me with all your hate comments. I don't care what you so called hunters have to say.

Ha! What a bunch of holier-than-thou crap. I guarantee that you have skeletons in your closet that others find reprehensible; maybe you fertilize your backyard garden with man made chemicals or consume dairy products or eat fish or fill your car with gas pumped offshore or own electronics/clothes made in a third world sweatshop... the list goes on and on. Do you part to fix the world by setting the example and making well-reasoned arguments to sway the masses. The swill you posted hurts your cause more than it helps.

I'm not a hunter but I don't find it immoral or unethical assuming the animal is dispatched in a humane way. If this video really is from Missouri, the Missouri Department of Conservation says that feral hogs are not native to Missouri (obviously) and that hunters should dispatch them on sight with no license required. It also says that the hogs compete against native species for food, spread disease, damage crops and sensitive natural areas such as glades, and eat the eggs of ground-nesting birds. If someone wants to hunt them (ideally for food) at no cost to the taxpayer then I have no problem with it. The alternative is poison or traps...

I agree with most.. Disgusting, inhuman, unethical and just plain White trash.... Why cant we hunt humans like that? ...there needs to be more white trash hunting.. Perfect food plot fer "hunteers" would be beer and moopies.... Easy pickings.....


There's no such thing is a HUNTER... Sittin in a tree stand under a food plot is not hunting. Sittin in a blind with a comfy chair is not hunting either. Don't care what any of you "hunteers" think... You would call a Person a murderer if he was sittin on to of a crocery storepickin off people, because he knows that there's gonna be plenty of targets.

Real hunters talk about how. Dose they got to the game before they took it. Like with in 50-100 foot. Not 100-300 yards.... Flame on....

Everything you just said is incorrect and irrelevant to this debate. You don't know me, and all you have managed to do is make false blanket assumptions. First of all I NEVER contaminate my small garden with any manufactured chemicals, my garden is pure and organic. Secondly, I stay away from all dairy products and consume soy products in exchange. Thirdly, I'm not sure I understand your point about using gasoline pumped offshore. Don't we all buy the same gas that is pumped off shore? There is absolutely no way around that and for a person like myself that doesn't even make me feel guilty about anything. Lastly, regarding products made in sweatshops, once again I will ask what is your point? You and I along with the rest of the United States purchase these same products everyday, I'm willing to bet that the shoes you wear were made in a sweat shop. There is no way around that since mostly everything is made overseas now a days. However I always do try to buy American made products when I can find them.

I have provided factual information on what I do to support my beliefs. All you have done is made pitifully incorrect assumptions that have no structural base to support argument. As a matter of fact I would say that you have not even proposed any sort of rational argument.
 
Someone hunts animals so you want to hunt them? Yeah that makes since...

So can.someone come by and lock this now?
 
The guy had a bow but chose to use a tomahawk instead for the cool factor, causing needless suffering to the animal. He gets no respect in my book.

Here is another disgusting hunting video. Baiting a bear with food, then wounding it with a spear thrown from a tree perch. His rifle is less than a meter away.

I've been a bowhunter for some time now. Used to hunt all over Pennsylvania, Vermont, upstate New York and Massachusetts. Never used a stand, legs were to restless. I think peeps that use stands are missing out. Stalking is the way of it. How can you enjoy the outdoors from one spot? Hunting, in my mind, isn't just about bagging the game, it's also about enjoying the natural world around you. Enjoy it while its there, some peeps seem hell bent on ripping it up for another strip mall, office building and whatever.

Wise words from the Samurai. For me it's about being out there. Bringing home dinner is just icing on the cake.
 
I am a hunter also and pass on several animals every season. I also stalk my game and just enjoy the outdoors. Last season I ddnt even take a shot or draw my bow.
Am I mistaken or did he kill the black hog instantly?

ETA: I was wrong, in the title he says he had to arrow it to finish it off. So to recap, horrible idea but not illegal, but not humane or responsible.

I don't know you, or anything about you aside from your eating habits. However, I find it shallow, elitist, and arrogant to hate an entire group of people for their eating habits.

For the guy doing the hawk stunt on the hog. Bad idea, makes hunters look bad, could leave a wounded animal or get yourself hurt. We don't need more videos of people doing foolish things in this world.
 
"Humane kill" is an oxymoron. I see nothing different here then a guy standing next to his pickup taking a snap shot at an elk. Actually there is one difference. Like hawkchop said, the guy is probably a very skilled hunter.
 
Why? What's the reason you would do this? Inhumane and stupid. My hunting principles are 1. Saftey 2. Humane to animals. 3. Try and harvest what you kill. 4. Enjoy the outdoors.
 
The ignorance and arrogance in here is crazy. A hunter skillfully stalks next to a wild animal(invasive species) and tries to dispatch it with an edged weapon within harms way, something that has occurred for thousands of years and people jump all over the video.
 
Post #14. Necessity is the mother of invention. If you don't know what it means...., ask any competent adult. You CAN kill a hog with a shovel, but is it the smartest, most humane way to do so??? Again..., ask any competent adult ( preferably a hunter). If you don't understand my comments, put down the X-Box controller, and spend a little time outdoors. Try eating only the meat that you kill. I'm fairly certain it won't take long before you're leaving the hatchet at home.:). GOOD LUCK.

This +1

Regardless of what tool was used initially, the hunter used a different tool to harvest the animal. Not every shot ends in the perfect placement.

Unless I missed something there was NOTHING that puts hunters in a bad light (with the exception for the anti's that he was hunting...).

I signed up for the mod thread but find the fact that a forum on blades has so many who are anti-hunting. Ironic don't you think, given what a blade is designed to do?
 
Only two anti hunting by my count, many that think it was immature and inhumane to try something "super cool bro!" like sneak up on a pig and kill it with a toy for kicks.
If nothing else it shows a lack of respect for the animal, invasive species or not.
