Do you still get the same adrenaline as sticking the pig with a knife?
Yes but its a little different. We started out shooting them with shotguns and rifles but now we have gone to pistols that require us to get much closer to make an effective shot. We got on a a pretty big rank boar on Christmas morning and having to sneak up within 15 yards of it without any dogs hanging off an ear is enough to make anyone pucker up a little. After we shot it we had to just chill for a bit to catch out breath and get ourselves together. Having said that, sending in a catch dog would have been freaking sweet.
The point is the only reason we found this pig and had a good hunt was because to curs did what they do best and found it.
