Boy kills huge hog Options

[THECHICKEN]

*sigh*

when hunting was mandatory for human survival, which was the best hunter? the squirrel clubber or the guy that could bring in a bear that could feed an entire tribe for weeks? getting the biggest game and providing the most is pretty much the basis of hunting... when your meat staple is deer, and you're the guy that keeps bringing in the biggest bucks.... you are the greatest hunter.
congrats on being able to say the 2nd stupidest thing i've heard this week.

Wow... such a stupid comment...

So techinically this kid is the most bad ass hunter since he's brought down this pig. And since he's a great hunter then by your definition that means he'll continue to run across huge boars every time he hunts...

It has nothing to do with what size of animals that happen to be living at the time, it has to with what degree of skill hunter is there...

id think the best hunter would be the one who most consistently brings in a kill. so id think the squirrel hunter would be the best. the caveman bringing in the big kill every once in awhile would just be the most impressive

but so much argument for something i think is fake. has it been supported yet?

[THECHICKEN]

um dude, the older they are, the smarter they are. the smarter they are, the more skilled you have to be to get them. old bucks don't get out and feed at the same time and in the same place as a doe, younger bucks, babies...

read between the lines here: they are smarter and more successful at evading the average hunter.

granted there are fluke cases in everything where some dumbass can stumble across the biggest whatever.

but...

this kid didn't find this frickin pig. his dad and uncles did and they let the kid take the shot.

tell you what chicken, head out this season and pick us up a good sized buck since it's a piece of cake.

the majority of first time hunters do not bag very large game. there's a reason for that.

My fucking god, im not saying its a piece of cake... im not saying anybody can do it, im not saying a bad ass hunter can't find the bigger game..

niether you nor zach really gets the point. it's not about throwing him into depression, it's the fact of realizing that he's already had the best.

if you lost your virginity to the playboy supermodel centerfold of the year, and then had to start fucking around with flat chested, average girls for the rest of your life... sure, you'd still enjoy yourself, but you'd be like "man, it's just not as good as that first time" if hog hunting is something he really enjoys, this will prolly interfere with that because every time he steps into that field again, he knows that he may bag something, but it will never be as good as it once was.
zach, if suddenly tommorow, you became the best, and ultimate MMA fighter. no one could even touch you, much less defeat you. EVER. wouldn't that kinda kill the competitive spirit you enjoy from it? the challange of defeating a worthy opponent, the gamble you take on each punch thrown or blocked? i seriously doubt you're the kind of guy that would take pleasure from jumping into the ring, and declaring " i win!" and then just step out again immediately.
mediocracy is it's own form of hell dude. and if you or zach can't understand that, then you've either never strove to perfection in something, or are lucky enough to not have achieved it.

I guess I just don't understand hunting well enough. I don't know why killing the record size boar ruins hunting for him and makes him feel mediocre for the rest of his life. Is it because boars are one of the few game that people hunt that is aggressive and will fight back? If not, can't he go after the world's biggest dove, deer, whatever-the-fuck-else people hunt?

I guess it never occurred to me that people were serious enough about hunting wild boar that bagging the largest one might ruin the sport for them forever.

I do agree on your point of the caveman with the largest kill being the most impressive and best hunter, but that's thousands of years ago, now the kid could have gone to the Piggly Wiggly and bought 1,000 pounds of pork to eat, he's not out there killing to supply his family for fear of them starving.

Early man was a scavenger, not a hunter. Nuts, vegetation, and meat from fresh kills by other animals.
