Im gonna die!!

I know one fella that hunts wild boar in west Tennessee with a 3 lb hand sledge, and another that chased a dear into a thicket after another guy in his hunting party shot it with a crossbow, only to have the dear charge him out of the thicket and he stabbed it with a knife. Lucky for him it was a doe.
 
Boar and wolverine are actually quite 'people' friendly. Finding one is the hard part. But once found, a gentle scratching on their belly will 'lull' them into a false sense of security. That would be the time to start throwing your knives. I've never actually tried this so if you should have any success and survive this ordeal, please be sure to post how it went. :D
 
ROFLMAO!

All you guys who replied to anbar are a real hoot!
And all the smartyass "advice" may just save the guy's life!
 
OK, I work as a hunting guide and have hunted both mountain lions and boars (quite enormous ones) with a knife, with and without dogs. It isn't easy and it takes some practice, but it is an adrenaline rush like no other on earth.

However, throwing a knife at a charging boar seems like a VERY, VERY bad idea. Even if you somehow manage to stick the knife in him it won't stop his charge and you will be in a world of pain. Please, trust me I know what I'm talking about, trying to kill a big, bad ass boar with a throwing knife is a pretty sure way to end up pushing up daisies. I've seen boars charge in spite of a couple of gunshot wounds, it takes a good shot from a powerful gun to stop them, a throwing knife will not do.

Please, think about what you're going to do. When I hunt boars with a knife I use a double edged 9" blade, leaf shaped, with a good guard and grip. I stab the beasties and drive the whole blade as deep as I can, I usually get bruises on my hand from hitting the guard so hard. Knife hunting has a long tradition in some countries, it is a great way to hunt, but throwing a knife at a boar just seems like knocking on Darwin's door.

Please think about what you're going to do.
 
There were no knives harmed in the making of this email: The fellow in the pictures is Larry Earley. He lives about 30 miles from Orlando, in the very rural community of Okahumpka, just off the Florida turnpike in Lake County, Florida. He has 20 acres of land and on it, a few cows and horses. Mostly it's pasture land that is fenced with woods surrounding him. He is neighbored by a larger cattle ranch. His neighbor has complained for several years that wild hogs had been raiding his cattle feeders and salt licks. Last month he saw what he thought was a cow in his pond and went to see if it was stuck in the mud and would have to be pulled out. When he got close enough to realize it was a hog, the thing made a charge at him. He had driven his truck down to the pond and carries a pistol in it (as any Florida redneck would, and I say that with genuine affection). He got his handgun and when it came at him again, he shot it twice and killed it. Wild hogs in Florida usually run from 100-400 pounds with a 400 pounder being a monster. Because this one had been feasting on grain for several years it had grown to mamoth size. When Larry took it to the processor it weighed in at over 1100 pounds! The meat has no wild taste, as it was grain feed and Larry is quite the hero. He has fed many fireman and provided the homeless shelter in downtown Orlando with a couple of meals.

Post your goals on BWFC (Boar and Wolverine Forums.com) and one or more of each will die laughing......throwing your knives at them is optional at this point.

:rolleyes:
 
Thanks for your help posting the pics. Now tell me if I'm wrong, but the only knife I see in his hand is shaped like S&W .44 Mag.

Yep, he must have thrown it pretty hard to kill a pig of that size!:eek:
 
Killing a boar with a throwing knife is actually very easy .

As the size of the wound channel is mainly determined by shockwaves,
all you need to do is to throw the knife with supersonic speed.

It's completely safe, too, because if you miss the charging boar, you can always fade away until only your smile remains.
 
I would never want to tangle with, the Wolverine has to top the list. I saw some National Geo footage of one chase off a wolf pack (a whole pack, think about that for a second) and a brown bear (not some puny black bear). Anything that hurls itself at a grizzly's face and makes the bear back up is not a beast to be trifled with. If the original poster was serious I think the only pics we see will be his obituary in the paper.

Ask him to also carry a nice 44 magnum wheel gun too so he can finish you off in case he misses that rifle shot.

hahahahaha. Lol. Best comment of the thread.
 
I remember as a kid reading some articles in Outdoor Life magazine about wolverines, and concluded that they are certainly worthy of respect. One seriously tough critter, and seriously mean. If they grew to the size of Cape Buffalo, then they would no doubt rule the earth.

Speaking of which, Peter Hathaway Capstick wrote a story or two about using a spear on Cape Buffalo. Maybe our prospective hero can try that out after he mops up the wolverine and boar, along with a grizz, since he'll have to venture up North anyway to do in the wolverine.
 
Y'ALL Are FREAKIN HILARIOUS!! :D :D :D

I don't think I'd try it...listen to the hunting guide! To be perfectly honest I'm from the backwoods in Indiana and I've never heard of hunting an animal with JUST a knife although I do know some who've been hunting and had to finish a buck off quickly with a knife but it'd already been shot.

Kudos to those of you if any that do hunt with just a knife; must be an amazing feeling!
