I like you so I do say this with all due respect, buffalo are so docile. There is no such thing as a "tame buffalo" though. [/QUOTE]Go to youtube and out "Ted Nugent Kills Buffalo with bow". You will see many. You can also find many vid's of Shamane shooting exotics to high up. Tame ones at that. You can also watch him on TV. Not that I would expect a fake Texan to know what he was looking at. Your blather about killing pigs with a knife pegs you as a know nothing pretty fast. Its not a major accomplishment or that hard to do. My Son did his first with a knife when he was 12.

And if you are in the right camo and you are completely descented yeah you can pretty well get up really close.
Hell's bells my husband and I were less than 20 yards away from a herd of elk the other day.
And you obviously, and with all due respect don't understand what type of pig we are talking about.
If you are ever in my neck of the woods PM me, Ill set it up so you can ride one.

Not so. For years, and even now I hunt in blaze engorge. That's the law in most states unless you are on private property. You play the wind to take care of your scent, and learn how to move.

My closest shot on deer was 8 yards, and my closest on a 150 pound pig was about 4 feet. Both with archery tackle, which I have hunted with since I was 11, and have used exclusively for the last ten years. 20 yards from Elks is normal, and not brag worthy in my opinion.

You will see a herd of Elk that we (me and the photographer) plan to hunt in the 2013 season, as well as a herd of sheep that we could have touched when we happened on to. you will also find my chosen tools for making meat. I may not know it all, but I know enough. I can also say the Nuge dont speak for me. I also know there are many more who feel the same.[/QUOTE]
I'll load up the video later. I swear my computer is so slow that..... well think the Flint Stones.
The elk aren't brag worthy. We weren't hunting. They were right by the side of the road. And oh my they were drop dead gorgeous in their winter colors. Just magnificent.
They spooked us. Not the other way around. We were the ones startled. So to see them was nothing short of a miracle and a blessing.
