ya we get to hunt em in the rut too... mine was rutting hard when i got him.. his neck was very swelled up... (in my pics)
but moose are alot more dangerous than deer in the rut... they are very protective.. like starky said above

 

Its scary, they are big and have big racks. My first ever hunting trip, when I was 10 yrs old, I was charged by a big Bull Moose. If it was not for my friends dad firing his rifle in the air, it might not have stopped. I needed new underware. I have been charged by a cow too, it was still very scary, but not quite as intimidating without that rack pointing at me.

 

ya... those racks are kinda intimidating... just thinking about how it could rip ya in half and throw ya...

 

That's a good lookin Buck. We had a lot of big bucks taken this year, but I only took two spikes...I do however have a awsome 8pt from 97...16 inchs wide, with 11 inch tines. I also got a 9 in 2000 that is 15 inchs wide, and 6 inch bases. Very heavy deer. Both were rutting hard with swollen necks and the whole 9 yards.

 

sweet...
i took this one in the first hour of hunting season...

 

I took the 8 on the second day of season.....took the 9 durning the second(last) week of season.

If I can find some of the pic's, I will have the g/f scan them and I'll post them on my pic page.

 

Anyone ever dealt with pigs or wildpigs?

Gosh this has been along time ago now but we were out in a remote part of the county going from one riding area to another when we come upon a bunch of cute little piglets that couldn't have been very old anyways on both sides of the road are deep ditches with overgrown brush with lots of hiding areas I guess you could say. Well we stop and want to mess around with the piglets that are all running around now squealing when about 50 feet down the road and out of the ditch comes this huge mama pig full on and looking like she's hungrier then hell for human flesh needless to say we didn't stay to play with the pigs and I would hate to think what this mama pig would have done if one of our machines wouldn't have started.

 

Wild pigs can be very dangerous. I have heard about a lot of people being attacked by them. Can you imagine being attacked by walking bacon. LOL.

I've always wanted to bow hunt wild pigs, it would be awesome.

 

wild bacon.. lol
ya they can be dangerous.. i think hunting them would be fun too... then again i havent came across much hunting that isnt fun...
