Hey djones,
I've got a better idea! One you probably won't like, but I'd enjoy watching .....LOL
Just for the record, this is a TRUE story, not embellished or otherwise enhanced.
When I was about 14, had a Mexican family lived next door and they had a boy about my age so we bummed around together. One Saturday, his dad was going Javelina hunting with a bunch of his friends and the boy was invited to go and he asked if I could go with them. His dad said OK, but we were given very explicit instructions that we were NOT to get out of the back of the truck and to keep our mouths shut and just watch!
We rode in the back of the truck with 3 adults in the front and us two boys in the back for about 2 1/2 hours to someplace East of San Diego where one of the guys had been working during the week and had spotted some Javelina. When we got there, there was an arroyo down the hill and they took out some Machete's they had made in their Garages or someplace. 2' to 2 1/2' long, about 3" from top to bottom with 1/4" x 1" steel welded or bolted along the top edge to gain additional weight. We were left in the back of the truck and one guy took a gunnysack with the bottom 6-8" dipped in whitewash.
One guy went upstream, one guy went down stream and the guy with the gunnysack headed towards a bunch of brush in the center. When he got to the arroyo the guy with the gunnysack held it out in his left hand at full length to his body and started moving slowly towards the brush. He had the machete over his left shoulder at full cock and started waving the gunnysack back and forth as he got closer to the brush.
We heard a squeal and suddenly a boar came charging out of the brush charging towards the guy with the gunnysack and the rest of the herd bolted out of the other side heading up the arroyo. The guy with the gunnysack just stood still and as the boar, which I learned later have real bad eyes, attacked the moving gunnysack, he brought the machete down and severed it's spine just behind the head. Upstream, Tony, my buddy's dad, had picked out a medium sized Javalina and holding still, as it ran past him, he did the same thing so out of this bunch they got two Javalina.
After they claimed and brought back the Javelina, we moved about 5-6 miles to another area and they did the same thing, except changing off on who got to go into the center. We left and headed home with, as I remember, 5 Javelina that day, which they divided up when we got home. Either the bravest or craziest thing I think I've ever seen when hunting.
From here on in this post, I get to embellish a little, not that I'd exaggerate any at all on something this serious.............
Now since djones can use his hands like machete's, so he claims, seems logical that we set up and video him doing the same thing, using just his hands with some of them feral hogs he has running around the country. Course I don't know how good a feral hogs eye's are, and I've never seen one wearing glasses, so this seems to be a real good way to see if anyone is paying attention or all the views are just us checking in now and then!
I'm willing to assist by furnishing the gunnysack and running the camera from about 2 miles away with a real good telephoto lens!
How about it djones?
