Boar hunting in Brazil

[Andre Lopes]

Hello friends, thank you for the welcome!
First, a brief introduction about the hunting in Brazil.
The state of Rio Grande do Sul is the southernmost state of Brazil, bordering the east by the Atlantic Ocean, to the south by Uruguay, and west with Argentina. Unlike the rest of the country, the climate here is not tropical. We even have snow in the winter! At this time, for example, the temperature is around 2 ° C!
I have a holding area for 90 Km away from my hometown, where I do my hunting. In Brazil, they practice hunting wild boar in two ways: with dogs and blinds next to a place where preparing a feeder. I hunt in a blind.
My hunting place:


That's me in the blind:

Gorgeous countryside where you hunt. Nice shot placement... looks to be some fine eating simmering over the coals too.

Beautiful land, there. What rifle are you shooting for hogs? Wow 36*? we are 33*c this time of year. It will be Dec or Jan before we get as cool as you now.

I have to ask. Which method do you use to remove the hair from the hide. I have just skinned all mine to date but really want to do one whole with the skin on.

Nice scenery and wish we had some of your weather here about now.

View of another side. On the top, my blind. Corn on the ground. There is a wooden pole in black. It is a pole covered in burnt oil (used motor oil). Boars love scratching post that they use to get the skin parasites.

You are doing some of the same things I am at my lease. the fence is to keep the cattle out of your corn? Do you hunt at night and what gear do you use?? Have you tried a roll barrel or pig pipe?

 

[Andre Lopes]

Currently I have three rifles and one shotgun:
A Custom Remington 700, 308 Win Caliber with Leupold riflescope and buttstock AICS. Normally I use in competitions, despite being away from shooting events long ago.
The another rifle that I rode in style Center Thompson / Contender caliber 30-30 Win.
But at the time, the rifle I have used in my hunting is a CZ 243 Win caliber.
My shotgun is a HK semiauto 12 Ga

Very nice setup! I too am very interested in how you get the hair off the hog without skinning it? Boiled?

 

[Andre Lopes]

My dear new friends!
I will answer some questions.
Indeed, the fence is to prevent the cattle eat the corn will spread on the floor.
I usually hunt at night. My equipment for hunting at night are: flashlight and / or ND3. In Brazil, unfortunately, is strictly prohibited to use night vision equipment. Then I use a wireless presence sensor attached to the fence, let me know if you got something in the feeder on very dark nights. One thing that helps me is also my gane camera has flash, then it also alerts me.

How to remove hair, here we use the technique of shaving with a sharp blade. Pour boiling water into the skin of hogs and after shave. But it is quite laborious!

 

[sjb67]

Thank you for the reply. Sounds like a big job. Still want to try it sometime. Think I will start small.

 

[FrankT]

LOL very small like a piglet!

Do you use the new cree leds for flashlights? Is your voltage at home 110V..Since many of us use AR's to hunt and rails to mount lights and lasers on how do you do it? I sure do like that competition 308!!

 

[sjb67]

Lol! Exactly....

If you look at the picture when I'm inside the house, you can see that my flashlight is stuck on the riflescope. The flashlight has a button that turns on the back and I can press it with my thumb. I do the same with ND3. And yes, i use cree leds for flashlights.
My voltage here is 220V.

 

[FrankT]

OK, I see it now, I use the same type of light red and green. Have you ever tried the solar powered motion lights at your feeders? Looks like it could work well for you. Pretty interesting how others hog hunt!
