Im gonna die!!

Hmmm. I've only seen wolverines in the wild once in more than 30 years... a pair of them in fact, up above Terrace, BC. They were loping along the skyline above a rock slide where we were hiking on a foggy day, otherwise I doubt we would have even had a glimpse. Pretty skittish critters. I talked with a ranger in Glacier Park, Montana, who encountered one that had broken into a lodge... he said he kicked it out the door with a broom.
 
^seriously???
It sounds suicidal to the point of being insane. 75 feet is nothing. That's only 25 yards. Heck, common football players run the 40 yd dash, almost twice that distance, in under 5 seconds!

A wild animal like a boar could probably cover 75 feet in a 1-2 seconds! 300, 400 lbs of tusked and pissed off fury, after you throw your knife at it... I wouldn't want to be there.

If all this website's got is "I know a guy who heard about a guy who..." without solid evidence, then I'm still pretty suspicious.
 
I just killed a boar with throwing knives!

That sucker was mean. It ran back and forth and then came right at me. I had no choice, it was him or me.

No, i'm not crazy. I'm dead serious. You, too, can try your hand at dropping a boar (like the proverbial sack of shit) with nothing but a throwing knife. Just go here: http://abc.go.com/primetime/lost/games/mission/index.html

Quick instructions:
Get the medicine from the red suitcase, which is buried in the wreckage (optional). Then take the first path on the left. At the fork in the path, get the suitcase with the knives. Go back to the beach. Take the third path from the left. Go past the plane wing to the fork in the path. Take the right fork. Now kill the boar!

Have fun, and don't forget to lead your target.

Darwin would just smile and nod. By all means. Go ahead. I mean someone, somewhere, somewhen probably did it and survived. Imagine the rush. Die young while you're still pretty. :thumbup:
 
Hello All
As a recently joined member who happens to be fairly adept at throwing edged weapons after 43 years of practice I'd say good luck to you on your endeavor!
As you say Tony C. of FL. pulled it off many years ago taking a 275lb boar but trust me he worked long and hard to get proficient enough for that trick, he was also using McEvoy Bowie Axe's like the one's pictured in Mike Silvey's book Knives Of Viet Nam.
I just had a request from a guy to make him a set of throwing knives to take a deer with, they are 16" long and weigh about 1 1/2 lb's and are quite sharp, I also made him a set that were not as sharp for practicing with of the same knife, I want to see the pics!
I'd try some squirrels first then maybe an opposum and then something a bit bigger but a LOT less dangerous!!!

Check out the cold steel knives video, I believe it's called "The Truth". They have a great section on hunting boar with a spear.

as opposed to the uncommon football players.:D

You guys are being so sarcasticly positive. Let's add some more honest positive affirmation.

I'm gonna die...

Yes, you are.:thumbup:

hurry now, last one out is a rotten egg.

What are you talking about? There's no curse! This dude is going freakin' wolverine hunting! That's like saying that the dude who dives off of Niagra Falls in a wooden barrel is cursed. Curses come to the people and follow them around. This dude is going TO the curse...or doom, whatever. That being said, I'm totally with you crazy throwing knife hunter dude! Best of luck good man, and godspeed. I'll likely try the same thing myself eventually, though I was thinking a big fixed blade for alligator hunting, a spear for sharks, and a katana for bears. Yeah...I really thought about it...
 
....Dead thread walkin'....

So, whats the deal? Does this crazy wolverine hunting bastard still have a pulse? I rather enjoy his gusto which fuzes bravado and stupidity. It's a good mix, and I hope that wolverine gets what he deserves (lunch). :D

He's dead, Jim!
 
Good God, not THIS thread STILL!! Is this guy still with us, or did his idiocy do him in, finally?
 
To be fair to the wolverine, the would be hunter should not stand back and throw an edged weapon at him. I suggest that an Uncle Henrys Old Timer pocket knife be used, and that the criiter be stalked and stabbed in the heart or throat. That my friends is true sportsmanship...
 
I have to say, this is one of the funniest things I have ever read. :D I am laughing out loud reading these...... Good luck with the srewdrivers and knives, but I want something that I KNOW is going to kill that boar when it comes at me in the woods. :D Not that I wouldnt maybe try the knife sometime........
 
Come on, guys, give him a break. He makes me think of the Guy Clark song, "Cape" from his album, "Dublin Blues," that also has his song, "The Randall Knife."

Eight years old with flour sack cape
Tied all around his neck
He climbed up on the garage
Figurin' what the heck

He screwed his courage up so tight
The whole thing come unwound
He got a runnin' start and bless his heart
He headed for the ground

Chorus:
He's one of those who knows that life
Is just a leap of faith
Spread your arms and hold you breath
And always trust your cape

All grown up with a flour sack cape
Tied all around his dream
He's full of piss and vinegar
He's bustin' at the seams

He licked his finger and checked the wind
It's gonna be do or die
He wasn't scared of nothin' Boys
He was pretty sure he could fly

Chorus

Old and grey with a flour sack cape
Tied all around his head
He's still jumpin' off the garage
And will be till he's dead

All these years the people said
He's actin' like a kid
He did not know he could not fly
So he did

Chorus
 
Well, November 2005 is when he conceived this.... er... plan. And he expected it to take him 1 to 2 years to learn to throw his knives. So, in theory, he could already be dead. Or he could still be practicing for another 9 or so months before meeting his demise.
