Wild boar hunters Richard
Swinney (Nixa, MO - e-mail: therenaissanceman@prodigy.net)
and 4 others hunters bagged a total of 6 wild hogs during a morning
of wild boar hunting with Ron's Guide Service on February 29,
2008. They used primitive weapons (longbow, spear, sword and a
knife). They hunted private land in Glades county.
This

Captain Ron,
Would you
please send me electronic copies of the photos you took and
posted on the website? They are great!

INCREDIBLE
HUNT!
The guides
were excellent. The dogs were tireless.
In less
than 3 hours we took 6 pigs with a combination of
an English
longbow
a Korean horsebow
2 replica 15th century boar spears
a modern "Cold Steel" boar spear
a replica 15th century hunting sword
=======
Our group
was dressed for the Saturday reenactment of the 1668 Raid
of St. Augustine, Florida by Captain Robert Searle and his band
of
buccaneers.

An interesting
note -- the term buccaneer comes from "boucanier", a
name for hunters of wild pigs & wild cattle on the island
of Hispaniola.
=======
We cooked
a hindquarter over the campfire the following day, then
served it with a boucanier sauce straight from the history books.
The meat was PHENOMENAL!
The head
of the boar I took with a sword is at Tyson's.
All the
best,
Richard
