Hog Hunting on a Cattle Ranch with Air Force Texans
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 сен 2024
- Our long-awaited Florida Hot Hunt finally arrived near the town of Sebring, on a cattle ranch. Our guide’s name was Richard, but we later learned that his nickname for the past 50 years has been “Raw Hide”. Wild Hogs can be very dangerous with their tusks, and they are certainly not afraid of humans or much of anything else. Fortunately, we were placed on a hunting stand about 4 feet off the ground, which protected us from any charge that a wounded Wild Hog might do.

Is that guys name Richard Cave? I grew up in Sonoma County, Northern California. My mom married a guy named Richard Cave. He was a manager on a 1,000 acre cattle ranch on Sonoma Mountain.He had a son named Richard. When you mentioned Northeast and big cattle ranch..my ears perked up, especially when you said. "Richard"
Good to hear from you Sonoman .... sorry, our hog guide was a different Richard.... Dr/ Russ
Good stuff 👍
Always good to hear from you Biketothefuture.... thanks for the compliment... Dr. Russ

👍🏻👍🏻🔥🔥🔥
Tom .. good to hear from you again. Be sure to read the video from Customcutter100..... Dr. Russ
I should have said ... the Hog video comment from Customcutter100. Dr. Russ
Awesome!
Good to hear from you again James .... we have some good videos coming including a sight in and a hunt for Iguana ... 3 in Donnyfl's shop on an interesting variety of topics.... 1 with Zack talking about the future of air guns ... 1 on a special deal I have worked out for scopes, bi pods, and some other interesting accessories.... 1 on converting old scuba tanks into air rifle tanks ...1 on Cross Bows ....and several on hunting.... it will be an interesting September, October...and November. Dr. Russ
Looks like it was a good trip.
Good to hear from you Obadiah .... particularly after you see all of the videos ... from this trip ... including an Iguana Hunt ... and 3 at Donnyfl... and a last one with Zach ... Dr. Russ
Obadiah ... be sure and read the comment from Customcutter100 on this hunt... Dr Russ
Hello dear Dr. Russ.. It sounds like a great hunting getaway to Florida.. We also have big problems with wild hogs down here in Brazil. Back in the day some farmers brought a bunch of European hogs in order to raise them for meat.. Some of them managed to escape and in a few months they were thousands of feral pigs causing a lot of damage, destroying crops (mostly in soybean fields) and even attacking human beings and live stock.. The good news is there's no season for hunting wild boars and they are delicious in the bbq pit. A big salute from Brazil. Kleber.
It is good to hear from you again Kleber ... and thanks for sharing. A lot of countries imported the hogs ... because they actually taste better than regular hogs to my taste buds. In the U.S. ... we imported them from everywhere, but the Russian Hogs were the wildest... and didnt require fencing to protect them from the other wild beast ... and stayed near the farm house where they were fed regularly... but in the end ... they wandered out too far and became a wild beast too. No season on them ... but no one wants them since they not only eat the grass etc... but they destroy the ground that the grass lived on.... Hunters do not harvest them as fast as they multiply... again, thanks for sharing... Dr.Russ
Awesome Video! Congratulations on the Harvest!
Good to hear from you again Russell ... thanks for the compliment ... both hunts in Florida went well ... along with some videos that took place in Donnyfl's shop and Zach's too... Coming soon. Dr. Russ
Russell Horner... be sure to read the comment from Customcutter100 ... Dr.Russ
Sounds like a great trip you all had . Thanks for sharing. 😎👍🏻
Good to hear from you Peter ... Thanks ... Dr. Russ
Peter ... be sure and read the comment from Customcutter100 ... Dr. Russ
True.... we were partly cooked too....
Not sure where you went, avg cost is 2500 in florida for guided pighunt, and never been paid for popping them. Coyotes maybe.
feelinfroggy... I have been told that you have to have a license or an appointment by the state of Florida to get any bounty ... it is not available to guides ... Dr. Russ
@@russjones6497 if the bounty was paid by the state, that would make sense. Pigs are legal year round and plenty of hunters. bounties are usually paid by the farmers/landowners. I'll look more into it.
@@feellnfroggy Good ... please get back to us with what you find... Dr. Russ
Great video Dr Russ, we have a lot of pigs here in northern ca, but we go after these thing in the brush, and we use powder burners, when your on the ground with animals you want to put them on the ground one and done, one shot. I have shot and killed several pigs through the years, I have also seen what a wounded pig does to dogs and humans, not very pleasant sight, but we are in the brush with animals, so far I haven’t gotten hurt but came close a few times.
Lance... we were very nervous looking at night for our wounded pigs... I am very familiar what they can do to humans... glad you are harvesting them safely. Its true, powder burners are safer with dangerous game. Please keep us in your air gun info loop... Dr. Russ
@@russjones6497 thanks, dr Russ, I do shoot a lot of air guns, just not when your life could depend on animal being wounded or not with a poor shot placement, I would rather having something with more power. Keep your videos coming, I love them
@@Crazyhorseracing461 Please keep us in your air gun experiences loop ... Dr. Russ

I have hogs on my place and they tear up my deer food plots. My .457 Texan is a death ray on hogs.
Ed Bartkiewicz ... it is good to hear from you ... and glad that you too have found the .457 Texan an effective hot killer.... Please stay in touch ... Dr. Russ
How long is too long to wait before processing an animal after a hunt? I always carry some ice packs in some gallon bags and a towel and wrap up a squirrel if I get one early enough to try for a second. But I always start to get a bit antsy after about 2-3 hours feeling like I need to clean the animal soon or the meat will go bad. Never really had anyone teach me hunting and my wife and I just moved onto private property that allows me to take the small game year round.
It is good to hear from you Adam.... similar to fishing ... one cooler for the fish and another for the soft drinks.... If you gut out the squirrel immediately ... that lets a lot of heat out of the animal and allows you an extra hour for squirrel.... don't forget to put the innards in a place where you can also shoot coyotes and raccoons who come for them... Dr. Russ
@@russjones6497 That is a great idea! Thank you Dr. Russ God bless you and your family.
@@adamlawrence3427 /Thank you Adam... some good videos coming up ... what state are you living in..? Dr. Russ
@@russjones6497 Thank you for the reply. I just moved to South Carolina from Florida.
Thanks for another wonderful video, did you guys find the hogs? A picture would have been nice.
Dexter ...it is good to hear from you ... we are careful about what photos we use because Google can penalize ... and even eliminate a video. As I closed at the end of the video ... we drove to the ranch and found the hogs about 10 a.m. on the following morning. We got concerned about finding them at night ... since they can charge you and open up a leg with those tusks. We found them easily the next morning because buzzards were circling both ... about a 100 yards apart... and about 50 yards from where they were shot. However, the buzzards had made a very bad mess of them ... we had planned to eat a few backstraps and give the rest to charity soup kitchens ... but the mess was too great to harvest any meat .... and as I said, you need to sign up and hunt them in the morning ... so that you can find them safely and before the buzzards come. Everyone was disappointed. We plan to go back in about 6 months ... and hunt in the morning. Dr. Russ
Dude you didn't film finding the dead hogs!
We found them but didn't include those scenes in this video. We found both the next mid morning... rather than walk in the dark the night before,... never sure if a hog with tusks would charge us. They were easy to fine the next morning with buzzards circling in the sky. They had been eating our pigs since dawn, and maybe some coyotes before that. This is why I shared at the end of the video that we recommend that you schedule a morning hunt versus an evening hunt. A heat wave didn't help keep the meat good, even during the night. It was 102 degrees during the day. Google and their advertisers are not happy with blood and gut videos ... so we left those scenes out. We also hunted Iguanas in Florida in two videos coming this week and weekend. They were harvested immediately, and are shown in those videos. We also plan to return to Florida during the first quarter of 2023 and do these hunts again... thanks for your interest. Be sure you keep us in your loop of air gun experiences. Dr. Russ
@@russjones6497 Thank you sir, if the hogs were partly eaten then yeah youtube wouldn't like it. What lots of people here in Europe do is bring a trained little dog that chases the shot pig and barks so the hunter can find the location in the dark then if need be finishes of the animal. Keep up the cool videos. Cheers from a fellow airgunner
@@lt.lasereyez8891 ... it is good to hear from you again. In most of our 50 states, dogs are not allowed on hunts, other that special hunt dog owners when retrieving a deer etc. that just cant be tracked down by any other method. In fact, many areas ask that you shoot any dogs that you see running through the woods etc, because they often track down animals... kill them ... and only eat a part of them. We have two great dobermans who have great eyes, hearing and smell ... and who have been trained to not bark or bite ... and I would love to have them in a hunt blind with us ... just for those sensitive skills... but again, in most instances, they are not allowed. Fortunately, in over 60 years of hunting, I have been able to track and find everything we have shot ... However, your small dog method ... would work fine here too. Please stay in touch, sharing your air gun experiences with us. Dr. Russ
Hello sir I have a question. I just bought a new gamo wildcat whisper and I love it. My question is. In your opinion roughly how many pellets would it take to lead in the barrel and should I clean the barrel afterwards?
About 100-500 yes clean first .
Chaotic twig... good to hear from you ... as Peter says below... clean your gun first since a lot of residue is left after the barreling is complete, and you cant trust them to get it clean. Secondly, after the 100 to 500 shots that fill in the small craters and scratches seen only by a microscope, clean but don't clean with solvents that would remove that leading ... that really has polished the barrel for great accuracy. Clean only to remove any excess lead and dirt. Dr. Russ
Wow Dr Russ.. So sad to see the internet trolls have found your wonderful channel and are doing what they do.. Rotten apples
True ... I am working to get rid of them... it is good to hear from you again... Dr. Russ
Not sure if it helps but I'll be sure to report any errant comments I come across
@@brentfordsandy6271 thanks ... Dr. Russ
nice enclosed space pigs hunt trip.
Pipzza ... While I am glad to hear from you concerning our videos... I am aware of some hogs being in a nice enclosed pen for the hunt ... from 20 acres to 300 ... but be careful about making assumptions about any hunt. Florida has an invasive species problem and this ranch had 4 strands of barbed wire to keep the cattle in ... and their hogs were not in any enclosed space for any hunt on this property. Dr. Russ
i love your videos please show me how to blow off unnecessary fire of the gamo whisper fusion mach 1 gun please 🙏🙏🙏
Roy ... I thought I answered this one for you ... to the best of my ability... Dr. Russ
@@russjones6497 thank you can you tell me my gun gamo whisper fusion mach1 ...1100fps .22calber about how many yards is the most accurate
thankyou russ jones 🙏
@@roygoode5303 ... I have a Gamo Swarm 22 Magnum ... and most heavy pellets are accurate out to about 50 yards .... A great deal depends on how you broke in the barrel ... is it leaded in? Are there any obstructions on the crown end of the barrel, how much have you practiced using the tips I shared in my 2 Accuracy videos? They can subtract 30 yards or add 15 yards to my estimate of 50. Accuracy is important ... especially if you are hunting critters. Go for the head shot ... which is always smaller than a body shot. Dr. Russ
@@russjones6497 thankyou 🙏
Sir what is your review about gamo replay 10x magnum gen 2 ?
Inderjeet Singh ... if you click onto the small circle with my photo on it ... you will access our channel of 90 videos ... look for several that have the word "Gamo" in it ... and I believe your question can be found in one titled "Gamo Swarm 10X versus Gen 2 and 3i. You might check the 5 or 6 videos I have done on Gamo air guns ... including several that I have planned for this Fall that includes the Bone Collector 22 cal Gamo Swarm. It is good to hear from you... Dr. Russ
@@russjones6497 Thank you sir for your valuable time.. i will check i just start following you and i love your videos.. take care god bless you ❤️🤗
@@INDERJEETSINGH-gi1es Always good to hear from you ... please stay in touch ... sharing your air gun experiences with us... Dr. Russ
Sorry, but no pics of a recovered hog. Also, I wouldn't eat a hog or any animal that was left in 90+ degree heat overnight unless it was truly a survival situation.
Customcutter100 ... you are absolutely right. Most of our southern states, including Florida has been going thru a heat wave... While we ate wild boar in Florida, we didn't eat the ones we shot ... which were finally tracked down the next mid-morning... with buzzards circling above them ... half eaten by all kinds of critters....and Google doesn't like videos with blood and guts ... so we left those scenes out ... like I said, it is a mistake to hunt them in the late afternoon with nightfall coming. Next time, we will schedule it differently, with a morning hunt ... sometime over the next six months. Dr. Russ
Seems to me they be partly cooked .

So customcutter do you like meat from an air conditioned store with meat from packages plastic wrap?
@@obadiahsmith2345 Yes, I eat meat from an air conditioned store. I've also been butchering animals since about the age of 5. I'm just saying that the meat in all 3 hogs was spoiled and unfit to eat. Dr Russ made it sound like they ate the animals. What's your point?
@@customcutter100 point is your just argumentative and angry. Funny you mentioned five years old. They throw a lot of tantrums.
