Hunting knives your lancheow lah. U want the common balless sinkie shitizen to arm themselves with knives and go close quarter with a wild boar? Full of shitIf only we are allowed by the law to take down a wild boar threatening our safety. Folks should be encouraged to arm themselves with spears and hunting knives while using our parks. Wild boar meat is the best, one could feed one's family for a month or so with one carcass.
In self defence, better than running off and encourage the boar to chase. Or standing there helpless. These grey boars are a hybrid, crossbred with domestic pigs during the time we had pig farms in Punggol. An old ex-pig farmer told me. Hence they are less aggressive than the original stock of black boars.Hunting knives your lancheow lah.

with thick undergrowth i doubt these sinkies can outrun one boar, let alone an entire clan of it. if i can’t catch my unleased french bulldog galloping at full speed in an open field what makes you think they can outrun a charging boar?Fact is there are no pics to show for means these 20 clowns cannot even find the boar, let alone kill it. Their efforts may sound heroic but they will run when they see the boar.
not effective against wild boars moving in thick undergrowth. when they are stationary munching on roots in a clearing and you spot them, perhaps you have a chance. but chances remain slim when you need to reach back for an arrow and create some movement and noise. by the time you position yourself to shoot, it’s gone or worse, charging at you. a shotgun is still the best weapon for close quarter hunting in a heavily wooded area, so papsmearer has credibility there when he mentions the use of a shotgun.
Ok, that makes sense, that they are hybrid with domestic pigs. I don't know how domestic pigs would end up intermingling with wild boars. There was a lot more pig farming in S'pore in the 70s, when my father and his friends were hunting them, they never crossbred. Maybe BS story. But obviously, they are agressive, hence the blood u see on the victim.In self defence, better than running off and encourage the boar to chase. Or standing there helpless.

BTW, you needn't get so angsty, and congrats for being the "last few surviving SInkies who have actually hunted wild boar in S'pore, as opposed to Johor or elsewhere".
Yes, they are burrowing animals, damn good at hiding. That is why u need trackers that can flush them out. The shooters are separate from them. Not everyone who goes in after the boars is a shooter.Fact is there are no pics to show for means these 20 clowns cannot even find the boar, let alone kill it.

another moronic comment
Umm....... because PAPsmearer was there himself.not effective against wild boars moving in thick undergrowth. when they are stationary munching on roots in a clearing and you spot them, perhaps you have a chance. but chances remain slim when you need to reach back for an arrow and create some movement and noise. by the time you position yourself to shoot, it’s gone or worse, charging at you. a shotgun is still the best weapon for close quarter hunting in a heavily wooded area, so papsmearer has credibility there when he mentions the use of a shotgun.
Interestingly, the best way to hunt wild boars is with trained hunting dogs. But I never saw them used. The hunting dogs can smell them out, find the lairs and corner them until the hunters caught up. If NParks want to hire me as consultant, they can contact SAMleong. LOL.with thick undergrowth i doubt these sinkies can outrun one boar, let alone an entire clan of it. if i can’t catch my unleased french bulldog galloping at full speed in an open field what makes you think they can outrun a charging boar?
I did not say they will outrun the boar.with thick undergrowth i doubt these sinkies can outrun one boar, let alone an entire clan of it. if i can’t catch my unleased french bulldog galloping at full speed in an open field what makes you think they can outrun a charging boar?
