Re: How to hunt bushpig?

Nitro,

Sorry if I left out a bit of detail but hunting pigs over bait you don't use a spotlight. They are not as bad as leopard so you can be closer and also setup your stand or bling so that they will give you a sillouette with the moonlight.

Otherwise I would say baiting them and still using a spotlight yes ethical hunting from the back of a truck with spotlight no not ethical. What we have tried one night is to walk next to a small river where we knew they are around with those lights the miners have on their heads. That is also ethical you walk in darkness only to switch on the light when you see or hear something. We managed to bag two big porcupines that way and alsmot had a shot at a bushbuck he was just too far and I couldn't see my crosshair in my scope on him.

I don't see nay other ways of hunting bushpig ethically even with dogs is that ethical ? It is exiting yes but is that ethical ? The bushpig is the one that is difficult to find just as a leopard so what do you do ? In my mind baiting them with or without spotlight would be the best and most ethical way to produce a bushpig.
