Not much has changed since then (at least for me), except for the "whole family starving" part.
Yeah, and here I thought stalking with a lever action 30-30 was doing it the hard way. You must have more Indian blood than I do.
Having said that, I have been interested in spear hunting hogs. I did the research and found an old timer who is pretty legendary for hunting everything from hogs to deer and even African game... with a SPEAR! Now that is aay too hardcore for me. I mean, I know natives do it and all that. Its just that there are so many lovely calibers to choose from. Spearing a hog makes sense. Much easier than knifing when you use dogs. Sure its a little heavier to carry but I don't want a tusk in the arm.
