Boars in Pickering

[timtune]

Mmmm I have a hankering for something that was mechanically deboned. Maybe it will come with a side order of rat droppings.

That all makes sense to me but it seems trivial for subway to rebut the claims with a paper trail and/or tests from a lab. I find it very strange that they havent done either.

If someone told me the earth was flat and wanted to sue me over it, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to pay for tests to prove it's not, I'd just tell them to GTFO and see them for their day in court so it gets laughed out of there.

It is fish but not always tuna apparently it is the stuff that falls off the conveyor belt during processing for better quality fish. Basically floor sweepins and common practice.

Meh, always looked and smelled like quality tuna to me, the exact same as what I'd get out of a can today.

Having enjoyed a Subway tuna sub recently, I can confirm it still looks, smells, and tastes like....tuna.

Good job @GateKeeper! I keep toying with the idea of getting my hunting license...wife isn't too keen.

Get not only your Hunting License but get your firearms license as well, both restricted and non restricted

 

[GateKeeper]

I hear wild pig/boar meat isn't actually all that good despite all the joking...care to comment @GateKeeper ?

Who ever you heard that from does not know what they are talking about or who ever prepared it did it wrong.

In Europe, mostly where I am from it’s actually sought after by restaurants, and even by wedding venues to serve as a main dish, typically done up in a goulash form, most hunting clubs share half of what is put down with the hunters, and the other half is sold, it’s a bit different in Europe, as the vet has to come out and certify it’s good for consumption, before used or sold.

some pictures of a hunt, the upper and lower tusks, the 308 casing, and the aftermath of the bullet hitting the boar and found lodged in it’s front right shoulder

hunting is done at night, it’s when they are out feeding and moving around, and while out hunting one always Carrie’s a sidearm for protection, they are nasty buggers

Yes this is the plan if I go forward with it.

Without hijacking the thread where the hell does one but used / new guns? I know in BC every CT has them in the smaller towns.

New is easy. Not where I would go but many CT's in Ontario have some for sale, BPS, or preferably a proper gun store.

There’s quite a few stores in/around the GTA. The issue isn’t guns currently, although there’s limited stock of some fancier items…it’s ammo. It’s gone way up in price. I started rolling my own. Which is fun.

Used from gunnutz forum! I’ve bought 3 or 4 from there.

It's pork. I have a place that borders the Everglades - lots of boars. The community has a wildlife fence designed to hold back gators, panthers and boars. A few years back a hurricane washed out tge fence and about 100 boars came thru and ravaged the subdivision, they tore up everything like Roto tillers.

The locals shot a bunch and did a huge BBQ- they were no different than any other pig roast.

My kid is a hunter, he switched to air rifles for birds and bow and arrow for big game. He claims he'll never hunt with bullets again.

More sporting? Unnecessary? No black powder either? Don't you need a firearms license for powerful airguns? Don't you need the hunting license for bow hunting?

You still need a hunting licence and possibly tags and a PAL depending on what you hunt and what you carry.

He uses an airgun that requires a PAL for Turkey and grouse, bow and arrow for moose, caribou and bear.

Yup..my Mom told me tonight that it is delicious and back when she was still in northern Europe, it was considered a high-end offering . Wealthy people with lots of land would hire the "back-then-equivalent" of highly trained "game wardens" to come and hunt them, and the landowners would get the meat if they wanted it.

Wow, are those the actual lower teeth?

Tusks!

Why no more bullets? More challenging?

 

[GateKeeper]

Yes, 4 of the tusks make up the lower and upper, 2 larger ones and 2 smaller ones, make up the set

.

You can get it done, more or less in a weekend

and as mentioned, go to Canadian Gunnutz forum, you will find a lot of the places to purchase, from stores, and also there is a section on used items as well

In some parts of the States they use this trapping method. Couldn't we do the same? Seems humane enough.

Make sure you press the button at the right time. If one is under the edge it will be pretty messed up but probably take a while to die (and that leaves an opening for the others to crawl through). When MNR talks about trapping them, I am anticipating some kind of cage not leg-hold traps scattered throughout pickering.

After they're trapped, you need to kill them all somehow.
