Im gonna die!!

There was a story I read here, but I can't find it and I think it was one of those where someone here says "look at this on that forum elsewhere".

Anyway, this guy from here buys a custom made BIG knife on e-bay with a tale that it belonged to this guy (we'll call him Big Guy). So the guy from here sends this well used and somewhat abused knife back to the custom knife maker who is by now pretty much retired. The maker writes back and says 'I never expected to see this knife again'. The knife was custom made for Big Guy to hunt boar. The bits that you need to know is that Big Guy is 7 foot 6 and a part time circus strongman. He hunts boar by having them driven to him armed with the big knife. His technique was to extend his arm and let the boar impale themselves on the knife and then fight them to death. Big guys real job was a saturation diver, and I remember that he was drowned when his face mask imploded at depth. The knife was sympathetically restored and is now the proud possession of a Blade Forum member.

I wish I could find the story as it is one of those that make the hair stand up on the back of your neck and makes your eyes a bit watery.

Anyway, as someone from Britain, what is it about Wolverines? They look like little pussy cats with attitude. Are they on crack or summat?
 
I can not believe that i missed this thread. There seem to be a lot of nay-sayers round here, but i will offer some advice. Forget the throwing knives. They would never have the impact to reach any vital organs on a wild boar. I know individuals who have failed to kill boars with mulitple shots from firearms. Perhaps you should familiarize yourself with the art of "Dim-Mak" (death touch) and thereby enabling yourself to hunt these creatures without any weapons. Simple manipulation of the creatures Chi will destroy it.
However, some tips.
Take the wild boar first, as if you make an error with the wolverine it will be difficult to manipulate the boars Chi with two nubs in place of your arms and hands(assuming the wolverine does not kill you, they are truly badass)
The world need proof of these daring adventures, so take some video, and let someone know where you are going so they can retreive the video in case of your untimely demise..............
Seriously, before you do anything else, get a vascetomy for the safety of future generations

Wolverine are mustelids, like mink, weasel, ermine, fisher, skunk, and badger. They are insanely tough and strong, and as someone here mentioned, they can even hunt and kill moose, one on one.

They aren't really aggressive. They aren't gregarious. But they can and will defend themselves vigorously if necessary.

It actually may be quite useful having nubs for hands when "dim-making" the boar to death, I imagine such nubs would serve as useful precision striking implements. If he succeeds he may even go down in martial arts history like the blind swordsman as "the nubbed hunter".

Theobetts, thank you sir!!! I'm sitting here near death from overeating, feeling rather miserable, and your comments were definitely worth reading!!! A bit of mirth makes the stomach feel better and lifts the spirits.
 
I'm trying to reach back almost thirty years here to remember some wolverine stories in Outdoor Life magazine that fueled the desire of an impressionable teenager with dreams of Alaska to head north (which I finally did for the first, and hopefully not the last time, this May).

One wolverine came across a cache of food that some backwoods trapper had, and it was frozen under several feet of ice or some such (the details escape me, so please bear with ol' Troll Bait, folks). The wolverine evidently thought it'd be better to simply lay down on the ice for several days to allow its body heat to melt a hole down through the ice to get to the food (rather than gnaw/slash the ice away), so that's what it did.

Another one was trying to raid a trapper's pack while he was out overnight in the wilderness, and it took a number of shots from his 30/30 at pointblank range to kill the varmint. Several hours later, the trapper got up to answer a call of nature or some such, and when passing by the carcass of the wolverine, it lunged at him as if uninjured and he had to blast it several more times to put it down for good.

Of course, there were obligatory tales of a wolverine running an entire pack of wolves off of a kill, running a large grizz off of a kill, etc...

Seems like the wolverine simply just doesn't give a rat's a$$ who/what/when it needs to open up a can of whoop ass on. It doesn't care if the odds are insurmountable. It doesn't care if it dies trying. If it wants a piece of you, then by gawd, it's gonna get a piece of you.
 
If you die, can we have you mounted?

That is if the boar doesn't mount you first...:eek:
 
and the next thread is :
"i'm gonna die. I have got appendicitis and i 'm gonna try to remove it myself with a kabaar knife. Wish me good luck" :D


 
If you're not going to eat them after you kill them........You're a loser.
Kill only what you need!

Ditto. And use the hides too. Boar might taste good, but I bet wolverine tastes like crap. Maybe greasy and smelly, like bear?

They appear to be skunky, so I doubt they would taste nice. Found this if anyone else wants to find more on wolverines.

Not just a "report." The video footage, shot in infrared, has been on TV several times. The three or four adult wolves leave the kill (a deer) when the wolverine is many feet away but approaching steadily. :eek:
 
Those wolves probably know something that Andbar hasn't figured out yet.

I've often wondered what would happen if a Tasmanian Devil and a Wolverine were locked in the same closet.

We'd see why there is no analog to a Tasmanian Devil in North America -- where there are cougars, wolves, bears, and wolverines. Snack size wanna-be tough guy.

So then Tasmanian Devils must be the Mall Ninjas of the animal kingdom.
