A week ago, a coyote killed my dog in our own back yard. Now a vendetta against both species has been launched... Sent from my HTC One X |

allaroundhunter, it's a war isn't it. Darn pigs. I would let folks hunt my back pastures, but I worry about liability and associated things.
I've been thinking about a night vision type scope, but I don't have an AR type rifle, so how would I attach/detach the scope. I guess I'd just have to dedicate one rifle to the night scope and leave it like that. I do have an 'extra'. Hmmm. |

And you don't need an AR to use a night scope. They have the same mount type as your usual scope rings, the base is just usually but into the optic. My night scope usually stays on my bolt action .243, but after seeing 15 pigs in one game cam pic I opted for more firepower Sent from my HTC One X |

Florida has removed the requirement for depredation permit regarding hogs at night with gun and light... Just need written permission from the land owner in your possession...
Now if I decide I don't feel like taking the dogs, I can grab the gun and spotlight and head to the crop land or sour corn pile... Brent |

+1 Keg. Nobody is begging for help and then demanding that the help pays. There are those who want help and those who don't.

Well, if someone wants or needs help, I've got 4 or 5 of us willing to come and try our darndest to help thin them out. We have a hunting tent to stay in and can camp out for 2 or 3 weeks in the winter when work is slow. Can very possibly stay longer, too. We dont want to come and shoot 2 pigs, but we dont want to bring 100 pigs home either so we need somewhere to take them or a gully to throw them in.
Its something to think about. |

That is pretty light..... We had a friend who had the same thing happen (hunter from another property killed his calf thinking it was a pig), and the guy ended up spending a couple nights in jail and having to pay close to $6,000 + legal fees...
We didn't press charges against the guy who shot our calf or make him pay anything for compensation. We just told him that he needed to leave and that he would not be coming back. |
