Speaking of which, Peter Hathaway Capstick wrote a story or two about using a spear on Cape Buffalo.

Capstick's book Death in the Long Grass has the greatest hunting stories I've ever read!:thumbup:

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!

Hunting with just a knife has a great tradition in some countries, Argentina being one of them. I've met some Spanish knife hunters and they told me that "montería" was alive and well in Spain, too.

It isn't the safest way to go about killing boar, but if done correctly the risks are reduced. The first time I did it I ended up with a few stitches on my knee and forearm and a dislocated shoulder, and I killed the boar, so he did all that damage with a blade sticking into his side.

Now, throwing a knife at a boar is just plain crazy.

BTW, Fishbak, that's a huge boar! Which kind of knife did you throw at it?
 
Forget about the throwing knives. What you need are Ninja stars. Not even a wolverine can beat a Ninja.
 
Be sure an video tape it, your next of kin can prolly make a little money selling it to the people who do that faces of death video.:thumbup:

Wasn't me - my dad's friend, and just to clarify - no knife. Two shots from a large .44 mag. I'm sure the boar would have preferred a hunter with a knife, though.

No kidding! That's the real ultimate power. ;)
 
A wildlife photographer famous for his pictures of wild wolves wanted to snap a picture of a wolverine. So he hired the best guides and after six years and $10,000's of expense, he saw a wolverine in Alaska -- at a distance.

Forget it. They don't want you close -- and you don't want to be close to a <100 pound animal that takes adult bull moose for dinner.
 
Anyone ever catch that B&W episode of Lassie where there was a wolverine on the loose? Timmy and his family seemed pretty scared. I think they were all hunkered down like Godzilla was roaming around while Timmy's Dad was out with a gun or something. I forget if Lassie engaged the wolverine or not. Probably not, or she tried to and they had to shoot the wolverine before it took Lassie out.
 
Im convinced that this is gonna lead to my death

Cliff will chime in shortly with the perfect blade angle for throwing knifes,being he was Canada knife throwing champion in 1983.
Carefull you don't hit a rock,chipped blades don't fly real well. :cool: :D

:thumbup: Good one Easy.
 
Ya could just skip the middlemen and off yourself....

I've read of boars taking several large rifle rounds and still taking a bit of time to lay down. I know that a deeply driven knife can make a larger wound channel, but try to think, and maybe do a little research, before acting.
 
Easy,
I'll bet Cliff will recommend some type of Busse as INFI is always the best steel. I'm also waiting to see what Skammer recommends.
