[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 1241126, member: 711"] Never swim alone. Actually you should really find someone to show you the ropes before you strike out on your own, plus if you kill a big one it's real tough to drag something twice your weight very far. I have used a cheapie deer sled, and I'm old, but it's still tough. About safety, hogs can be aggressive. I never hunt them without a backup weapon. I use a .44 mag and have needed it a couple of times. I like to shoot from a tree stand. You might look at portable self-climbing stands if you are young and fit. (damned things are hard to use unless you are in great shape) As a primary weapon, use enough gun. Lots of folks like little guns, but to make humane and safe kills something in the .30 range makes lots more sense. I use a .375 H&H sometimes, and I know that's overkill--just have the gun and like shooting it . . . Have fun, be careful. CB [/QUOTE]
