[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 1493347, member: 92702"] I think the reason folks look down on it is the knife. Most folks picture it as a macho thing. I know I did before I went with those guys and my eyes were opened. I have been fortunate enough to have killed a lot of game, with both gun and bow. I learned that a knife can kill as quick as a gun, assuming a non CNS hit with the gun. Done by someone who knows what they are doing, death can come in just a few breaths. I fear knives just as much as a gun now. You CWC guys out there should be taking notes here. Done correctly, this is as humane a death as any. I am a pretty good shot, but threading a bullet in the middle of all that is going on would be really tough. Putting it in a vital area would be even harder. I understand that when they use guns they don't use the catch dog. They have to get really close, and the chase dogs are more vulnerable to the pig. We carried guns. They were for if a pig broke lose and we were in its way. Not an ideal place to be. Didn't fire a shot. They guy had well trained dogs that are worth a fortune, and knew exactly what he was doing. Very different world for me and definitely way out of my comfort zone. All of us hunters have to stick together and not judge what we have not seen. Please guys keep an open mind. This is not an easy hunt. [/QUOTE]
