6 Manliest ways to hunt

Forget the 30/30 these guys have big ones: http://www.cracked.com/article_20121_the-6-manliest-ways-people-still-hunt-food.html#ixzz2D8G6Lqxe

My buddies used to hunt razorbacks with dogs and a knife, had a contract to send the worm riddled meat to Germany for Wurst.

can't click on that link here at work.. do they mention anything about spear hunting Elk or bow hunting bears with Jared Allen?

I read an article in National Geographic a while ago about hunting snakes- Anaconda, I think, where one guy would lower himself feet first down the snakes cave and allow the snake to get about half of him swallowed, at which point his buddies would drag him out, snake still attatched.

I'm pretty sure I'd rather starve to death...

There's a magazine I've never seen outside of Sumter County FL called Boarhunter that had a whole section devoted to primitive hunting of, well, boar. You'll never get me near one of those things with a knife. They're mean enough when you hit them with a .308.

Yeah, saw that this weekend. I showed my students the embedded youtube clip of the guys stealing the wildebeest leg from the lion pride. The kids were amused.

By hand, of course.

I would say hunting like a Native American is pretty manly in my book. Anything with the use of gunpowder is just a slaughter... the animal never had a chance.

yup....follow the link in the OP if you havent seen it....three guys chase a pride of 15 lions off of a kill. They then take a leg of meat and walk off before the lions figure out that the guys are totally kill-able

Well, on the Swamp People show, Willie killed a 9' gator with his pocket knife. I call that a manly kill.

When I hog hunt, I prefer to go out naked and beat the hogs to death with my johnson. That's pretty manly

My uncle does this on his ranch in Texas. He's overrun with the damn things. I have an open invitation to join him and it's on my bucket list. In fact, it may be the last item on the list.

There are a couple of guys around here that hunt hogs with a dog, a bag of zip ties and a burlap sack. They don't kill them, they catch them, zip tie the feet, bag the head and haul them home.

Then they drop them in a pen so they can be corn fed for a couple of weeks. It helps the flavor out a lot.

This is hilarious when you use the euphemism "hoggin'" to describe a trip to the bars to find and lay a fat chick.

While weasels rip your flesh.

You can also be chewed to bits by giant turtles.

Amazing the lengths people will go to to feed themselves when they don't have an EBT card that magically produces free steak.

It's not hunting, but I know two people who go bear slapping. That's the game where you sneak up on a bear (preferably a grizzly), slap it, and escape with your life.

I've always wimped out.

That seems like something you have to be pretty well in the bag to even think of. The liquid courage necessary to walk up and slap a grizzly would make running away a pretty low percentage option. I might have to stand there and fight like a man. I might as well play russian roulette with an automatic.

sounds like a great spectator sport. I'll bring the hot air balloon and binoculars.

Hoggin a fat chick at a bar.... isn't that tag and release only!

I've been hog hunting, those are some mean sumbitches. Both kinds.

This is NOT a popular viewpoint where I live: I think gunpowder weapons should be outlawed for hunting, not because I am anti gun but because they tip the scales way too far. If someone wants a eight point buck or a big ol' hog to hang on their wall, they need to strip to their BVD's, stick a knife between their teeth and go get one. Otherwise it's just target shooting with live targets.

They say 3 Rhodesian Ridgeback dogs will attack a pride of 5 lions. I believe it. I've been out in the field with 3 and when they go off in unison, it's an amazing site.

I think we can combine some of these ideas. Hey, maybe sneak up on a fat chick at a bar, slap her good and then try to escape with your life?
