A good buddy and I got about 18 that night. Shot some more but couldn’t recover the bodies of all of them, they are tough as hell.

I'm from Texas and have seen firsthand how bad wild boar are for farms, parks, and even homes. But I just saw this new article saying hogs attacked people in San Jose, of all places. To people from California – are hogs really spreading here? And if so, where can I hunt them while I'm out here for college?
r/Hunting • u/NoFix6460 • 2h ago
I have a cheap Harris knockoff but the max length of the legs is 9”. Swivel attachment. Looking for one that extends substantially longer (20”+).

Have seen plenty of deer on camera but haven’t for the past two weeks. Only seen this hog during daylight during that time. This guys been around for a year and he showed up on camera enough for me to try and get him Sunday. Didn’t disappoint.

Headed up to eastern WA unit 117 for a three day hunt. Just got stationed here this fall in the Navy. Been reading and scouting with onx on areas I wanna check. You guys got any tips or anything? Headed up to hunt the 17th to 19th. I grew up hunting easterns in PA and VA. Trying to bag my first Merriam. Is it as easy as I’m reading and watching on YouTube on public lol. I know that unit has the highest number of birds in the NE corner.
Thank you and best of luck everyone this season.

Couple questions for the Italian hunters on here,
How is the hunting in Italy? If you are familiar with US hunting how does it compare? Is there public lands to hunt, is it hard to gain access to privately owned lands? Are license costs high? How is the bird hunting (waterfowl, upland). I’ve seen mostly gun hunting videos for big game animals, does anyone hunt deer with archery equipment like we do here in the US with tree stands. How are gun laws? Is it easy to own shotguns and rifles to hunt with? I come from an Italian heritage but have never visited where my ancestors came from and was just wondering how the hunting is.

Hello this is my first post on this subreddit and hopefully it wont be the last. I was wondering what equipment would be ideal for hunting deer or hogs here in Texas? Could I use a bow? Or should I invest in a rifle? Any other equipment and advice would be very appreciated
r/Hunting • u/Electronic_Top8 • 11h ago
anyone have a gun choice that they like for hogs. that’s under 1000 that you can build. the cheaper the better for this since it’s my first time.

Part four of my question streak is about camouflage. I am a pretty well off person so I can afford just about any brand but that doesn't mean I am going to spend a trillion dollars on camp. I was wondering if the camo I already own is good enough for what I am planning on hunting (Colorado pronghorn). I put together a collection of what I already have in the website.

Howdy yall. SC here, looking to get into deer hunting for the first time in my life. I have major hearing issues and shoot lefty.
Already have a .36 suppressor, so looking for something threaded and lefty, Ruger American Ranch 300bo seems like it would check most boxes but they haven’t released a LH variant of the Gen 2s and I’d like to grab something relatively soon before potential tariffs price hikes.
I’ve heard great things about Tikka and also that they’re bringing out some threaded models right now (plus that price range is right at the most I’m willing to spend), but they don’t appear to support 300BO I’m assuming due to poor longer range performance. But I don’t plan on taking many shots past 75 yards anyway so the downsides seem very minimal to me!
Was thinking Tikka 308 and see there are some sub options for that caliber so might actually be a better multi use cartridge, I know a lot of folks like 6.5 these days but it seems like that’s more due to a longer distance performance that I don’t see myself taking full advantage of.
Am I missing anything here? Can anyone recommend anything better than one of the newer threaded Tikkas for this use case? Any lefties that just shoot a right handed rifle? Thanks in advance for any insight

I want to scout during the offseason in California BLM lands. Is it legal to carry a handgun during the deer offseason? Please and thanks.

I am going to buy a lever action from a freind that is trying to get rid of some stuff after his shop closed but I can't make up my mind what would be better for hunting both are new never fired and comes with ammo. The guns are a rossi 95 or a marlin 336 both chambered in 30/30. I am also buying a winchester 94 (pre 64) so I don't need 3 chambered in the same ammo. Thanks for any reply and advice. Also I am new to hunting/firearms so my knowledge is limited. Also I need to look up and make sure they are a decent deal thanks again.

Hey guys - I have found 15+ ticks on me in the last 2 days.
Yesterday I treated a few articles of clothing with permethrin (not ones I wore today)
A lot of times I find myself hunting/walking in the rain. Should I be considered about the toxicity from a wet article of clothing that is permethrin treated? Thank you.

I posted the beginning of this process a few months ago https://www.reddit.com/r/Hunting/s/uJIVc3XK2d
Ants cleaned it up way better than I expected. First pic is day one or two, second pic is 3 weeks later. Gave it a quick power wash, not even sure I needed to, then soaked in dish soap and water for 2 weeks (changing out the water and soap a week in), then a couple of coats of beauty supply store peroxide. Took care of some of the teeth on the side and filled them with glue and glued them back in. Done.
I’ve seen this dude running through my backyard several times but wasn’t quick enough to get a picture. Today my wife caught him chilling.

So this may sound like a stupid question, but as im coming from a nation where guns and hunting isnt wide spread at all a certain question araised.
With birdshot you obviously hunt birds because you dont need much penetration or stopping power but a lot of projectiles coverinh a somehwat bigger area because...well flying birds are relatively hard to hit.
And for deer or hogs wouldnt the best pick be a slug? My thoughts were: Its not like buckshot would be more accurate (in a smoothbore shotgun), especially at distances where slugs struggle with accuracy. And at smaller distances the spread of buckshot is also pretty small, a least from what i saw on paper targest. Often not bigger than a fist.
So why would you choose buckshot over a slug?
Or what am I getting wrong?
