Can attest that just learning to stay on a horse bareback is a challenge…add casting at a small moving target and you have a 10/10 degree of difficulty. Remarkable
It's true, mongol, societies or step cultures. Innovate that what they have and apply to warfare The humble horse archer was the deadliest warrior and the battlefield
That was awesome! I've been wanting to see some spear hunting(not atlatl) hunting on this channel so this was exciting! I couldn't tell was it stone or metal spear heads?
Bravo sir! - I have no inclination towards horses, but I appreciate your skill in working with the horse as you close in on your quarry. You are indeed skilled.
That was amazing! Could it be formatted like your bison hunt? Showing the spear and point preparation, showing the sighting of the game and then the chase after the quarry? You guys are a great team. It should all be showcased.👍👍👍👍
What kind of horse do this guy use? I know this kind of pic hunting from Southern Spain. And for a good movement you can watch some horses working in bull fighting. But the horse in the clip makes a great job. 👏🏼
I would expect it's a quarter horse, the same horse that tends to be employed for roping and stock handling and a lot of rodeo events. It seems to specifically be a fairly large specimen, but thats hard to say on a video.. That's a VERY valuable and extremely well trained horse, you practically have to live with an animal to become that good of a team, most people can't stay on a trotting horse in a straight line without a saddle and stirrups, and this guy looks more like a damned centaur than a human. The hunters in Spain use stirrups, this is on a whole different level of difficulty.
@@charlesparr1611if you look closely, the horse does not cross its hands when turning, which means that the horse was probably not trained for quick maneuvering. Props to the rider for still being able to succeed at hunting with such a horse.
@@ITSMRFOXY I am no expert, but I used to hang out with one a bit. My understanding is that horses trained for hunting dangerous animals (wild hogs are pretty dangerous when angry) are trained not to risk slips and falls as that ends up with a rider dealing with a boar tusk in their groin. This means they are often trained to be far more conservative in footwork, not relying on a single leg and never crossing their legs at all. I used to know someone who did horsed combat, she started off using horse she took to rodeos, had to purchase another horse and train it from the ground up to use very specific movements. This might have more to do with the specific act the horse is being trained for than the level of training.
I would think that lancing them might prove better, have you tried that? longer edged point, you would be able to twist it manually to increase the wound trauma and make the hog bleed out much faster. You would also be able to retain the lance to thrust a second and third time. The horse you're riding is very well trained by the way, I'm not a horseman but I have studied mounted combat from a theoretical POV and I have some idea of what it takes. I'm extremely impressed. For an example of the. lance technique I mean, look for video of lancers 'tent pegging'.... It was a common display of skill by cavalry men right up into the 1850s, and I think some of the Native American tribes still retain the traditions as well.
Hunting with Horse and Spear : The Sport of Kings , the King of Sports. However, the golden rule is NEVER throw your spear. It can bounce and impale both horse and rider, and there are several recorded instances of this. India used to be the home of pig sticking, but with most of the riding country under the plough, this Sport had largely died out
Throwing the spear should be avoided. Specially if you are hunting as a team. It is dangerous and can hurt other hunters and horses. Open fields with no obstruction of trees, bushes,nallas or tall grass is a very easy kill. I had the pleasure of attending the Khadir Cup in UP, India organised by the Meerut Tent Club then now by the RVC centre. That too has been stopped. Pig Sticking there was a real daredevil sport. Khadir Cup winner was the best Cavalry Regiment then.
Feral hogs have been a problem since the very first ones escaped the people who brought them across oceans. They breed like rabbits and will destroy the ecosystem they take root in. They are an invasive species even if it is man’s fault, and indigenous populations suffer greatly under their numbers. Not to mention damage to the fields and crops that feed us.
This is really cool. The horse, the spears, the feral hogs, seeing how it was done for thousands and thousands of years. I think this is where I likely draw the line - **FOR MYSELF** - on what I feel is “ethical” and efficacious. 1) meat science has taught us that an animal under stressful conditions will have poorer meat quality than one that wasn’t 2) at least one of those hits was so far back in the guts, and the thing just stood there, trying to square off on the horse, and took a lot longer to tip over than a well-placed bullet or slug or arrow would have taken. And that bothers me - they are still an animal that offers an amazing bounty - the leather is as tough or tougher than 90% of other domestic leather. The fat can be rendered for lard. The meat is generally pretty great to eat. Idk. I think this is where I draw the line for myself. I am not drawing the line for anyone else. Or even saying I disapprove - it’s just where I’m drawing the line for me. Yes, I know it’s hunting and yes, I know bad hits happen. I feel like there is this pervasive idea that bc there are so many pigs and they do so much damage and they’re unregulated for hunting that we can just do whatever we want to them.
How do you think do wild predatory animals kill their prey? Most of them kill them in a even more brutal fashion, especially the few predators that would take on wild boars.
@@Userqiehdnyeah. I’m entirely aware. I hunt feral pigs; I hunt white-tailed deer; ducks; pheasant; geese - I run a trap line. What you didn’t address is ethics. Animals are not “ethical” - they care about their own survival - end of story. I don’t blame a wild animal for being wild. I don’t blame them for doing what they need to do to survive. What I said was, this is where I draw the line, **for me, personally** on ethics. I didn’t say “no one should ever hunt like this ever again” or go off on not hunting pigs or even the sport of hunting. Comparing wild animals and human beings and their own ethics is like comparing a blackberry to a palm tree. So wildly different it can’t really be done.
@@hunt_trap_fish Well I have no problem with you not wanting to hunt like that, I'm just angry at libs trying to make all forms of hunting that they deem "unethical'' illegal.
I don't know. I think this it not a humane way to kill pigs. Hard to watch. I'm fine with people shooting them in the heart or head so they die fast. But this looks like a lot of suffering for the pigs.
hit the mute button and there wont be any music....and that's exactly how it would sound with no music. Drones don't record sounds because all you would hear is the propellers.
I'm impressed at the steadfastness of the horse. I imagine it must take a lot to get a normally fairly skittish animal to willing approach a potentially dangerous, squealing pig. Hell, I remember riding a horse once and having it freak out over a paper bag blowing in the wind in front of it.

Also this is how our ancient ancestors used to hunt.

You can see why nomadic horse riders made such effective fighters. No much difference between hunting and fighting in this context.

That throw @ 1:23 had some distance to it! Well done.👏
That's what I thought 🤔
Looks like it might have been thrown by a person off screen with an atlaltl maybe? 🤔
Coolest thing I've seen on RUclips
Same
Just awesome. The old Celts couldn’t have done it better. All you need now is some plaid pants and a torc. Great stuff cheers
Thats a tough little fella at 1:35 ! He even wants to challenge you to a joust.
I won't lie, after seeing the others go down so quick, when he turned back I was like "You go lil buddy! Give him a run for his money!"
That is incredible Amazing horsemanship and amazing skill on Vaston's part. Thanks for sharing the vid!
Crazy to see the blood trail from the hog running through the grass
So glad you made another one of these. You guys keep making em, I'll keep watching.
that was just an awesome showing of not only your experience riding horses but your coordination with the fine equine
Now that is very very impressive it ain't easy best RUclips hunting video hands down l have ever seen thank you for the experience.

As ancesters
So who letting these hogs loose ...they were not always a problem... were they?
Feral hogs have been a problem since the very first ones escaped the people who brought them across oceans. They breed like rabbits and will destroy the ecosystem they take root in. They are an invasive species even if it is man’s fault, and indigenous populations suffer greatly under their numbers. Not to mention damage to the fields and crops that feed us.
They are truly wild pigs, not released. Natural reproduction. That part of Florida is covered up in wild pigs.
