Re: Feral Game Hunting Kit

Hi wightamus, What are the warning signs for pigs? i've read people saying they won't touch the meat at all because of the worms/ticks etc but as far as my research goes - the worms only live in the organs - if you don't mess up the field dressing you won't be eating worms .

Re: Feral Game Hunting Kit

Hello all, Thanks once again for all your help guys. That really clears things up. Rob: Well noted on the Samick Sage and Ragim equivalents, I guess you get what you pay for... 200 bucks is hard to argue with though. Steve: Love your work. What you've described is exactly where I want to go with thi...

Re: Feral Game Hunting Kit

Hi Rob, WOW. For a 135 bucks and the cost of a new string thats a great deal. Can I PM you for the link? Steve, Thanks for your reply!

Re: Feral Game Hunting Kit

Hi Matty,

Thanks very much for your reply. Was it obvious i've never shot before? :lol:
