indonesian boar

[switch]

Indoboar, welcome to the forum. As you can see from the boars we hunt here in the states, yours looks a bit different and unique. Congratulations on the kill. Please keep us posted on your adventures. I, for one am very interested in hearing of hunts from around the world.

I love the picture of you and your dad...looks like a great hunt.

Good to see some hunting from Java

Welcome! As you can see with all of the responses, as long as you can provide pictures and stories and anything about WILD PIGS, you're family. So actually, welcome into the Hog Hunter family.

Awesome picture of your first hog

. It's so cool that the internet allows us to share common interests from distant continents. I, as well as everyone else in here, can't wait to hear from your next adventures. Please keep us updated

.

Oh yeah, CURRY PIG? Been there, done that.......you can't go wrong with this combination.

AWESOME, great to hear from another hunter in another land.

I took my daughter to the San Diego Zoo a while back and saw a bunch of different hogs from that part of the world and wondered what hunting them might be like. Now I have an idea! Great post and keep the pics and information coming.

Thanks!

Welcome and congrats on the nice pig. That old picture is great, as they say, "whack em and stack em".

Indoboar,
Thanks again for the pictures and the one with your father and all the wild pigs on the jeep front bumper is really excellent. Are those native Indonesian wild pigs??? In the Philippines, our native wild boar is smaller, like 30-50 kilos(60-100 lbs. approximately). The native Philippine wild boar looks somewhat like the Javelina of the Southwestern United States. Your Indonesian wild boar looks very fierce and has that angry look even when it is already dead. Certainly looks different from the California and Texas wild hogs that I have hunted. We appreciate your stories and pictures. Post all the pictures and stories, especially your father and his friends. We are excited about reading your hog hunting in your part of the world. Thanks and 'Nuff said.
P.S. That recipe of yours with pork red curry is making me hungry. Now I want to go to an Indonesian restaurant and order pork red curry.

Welcome Indoboar!

Thanks for sharing the stories and the pictures.

Brought back memories of my two years in that part of the world: Borneo on the Malaysian side actually. Indeed, it's really a game and wildlife rich paradise.

I've gone hunting once but the methods and the tools is just not my cup of tea. There in not much choice of any other tools since the Malaysian government punishes anyone possesing firearm with death.

Good luck and keep the stories coming.

How's the taste of game meat there? Most of the deer and wild hog meat that I tasted has this unpleasant rancid oil taste in it -- mainly because the deer and hogs acquired a taste for palm oil kernels.

Welcome to JHO, Indobar!

Sounds like you guys have some great opportunities, even if it's only for wild hogs. Those look like sure enough wild ones, too!

Looking forward to reading more of your posts...and also waiting for some of those recipes!

Beastslayer,
The big boar that Indoboar posted must taste very good since he said he shot it eating in a cassava field(a sweet potato like tuber that is popular for table fare in Southeast Asia). I remember my friends telling me that the native Philippine wild boar they shot was so sweet tasting that they burn off the hair with fire and then the hairless skin is stripped and chopped into small pieces and then soaked in vinegar and onions, garlic and red hot chile peppers and then eaten raw, ala sushi. They said that it was a very good tasting delicacy. The skin of the native Phillipine wild boar is not leathery like the wild boar we catch in California and Texas but the skin is tender and very tasty, eaten raw as is and especially with vinegar and spices. That Indonesian wild boar has the perfect wild boar pose. I love mean looking and angry looking wild boar pictures. They really look wild and wily and ready to chase an unsuspecting hunter.
P.S. I read in one of your posts that you seem to find favor in a Marlin 45-70. If you ever get one of those Marlin 45-70's, the mild factory loads(Rem and Fed) are big hog killers within 100 yds. and the recoil is very tolerable. Once you get into the hot factory loads(PMC hot loads, Garrett, CorBon etc.), you would need a jello like recoil pad(Sims Limbsaver etc.) to absorb the cannon like recoil, but it definitely topples the big hogs. The big hogs simply succumb from the trauma of a .458 caliber pass thru bullet hole. In the Gun Shows they have used Marlin 45-70's in good condition and some of them are bargain priced. The Marlin action is strong and built solid like a bank vault. It feels like you are wielding a one ton sledgehammer packed into a handy, easy carrying rifle. However, even with hot loads, the range is limited to less than 250 yds. With hot loads, a 3 inch high zero at 100 yds. will impact somewhere 3" low at around 225 yds. But the big, heavy slug hits like a sledgehammer at impact. And for brush busting, this is the rifle to carry. The big heavy slug will stop a charge dead in it's tracks. God Bless. 'Nuff said.

Please tell me that you aren't eating any part of your wild hogs raw. They carry Trichina and I dont think there is a coure for Trichinosis.

I think that's the wild boar version of the papaitan -- usually done with goat skin. I've seen it myself but I have not tasted it.

Thanks for that write up on Marlin 45-70. On my wish list but having two rifles with similar lever configuration seems redundant with my Win 30-30. Where did you get your wealth of encyclopedic knowledge of guns, ammo and ballistics?

 

[larrysogla]

I myself do not eat any raw animal parts, sushi included. I play it safe and cook well any animal parts that I will eat. There are parasites in fish, land mammals and reptiles that can make people sick, some of this parasites are also deadly. Those are my friends who have hunted native Philippine wild boar and they have eaten the wild boar skin raw and vinegared. They say it tastes very good. I will cook it before I will eat it. Thanks for the advice. 'Nuff said.

 

[indoboar]

the wild boar that i got taste very good. it was rice, cassava, and corn feed. theere are couple types of wild boar in east java, the one in the pictures has very good taste because i only eat good stuff. there are other types of wild boar that ate almost anything( including animal carcass ) which are not as good as the one i got. the one that i got, eventhough the body can grow big, but usually the tusk will not be as big as other types.

 

[beastslayer]

How about babirusa? Those are excellent wall hanger and conversation piece with its extra long and multiple tusks. Am not sure though if its good eating.

 

[larrysogla]

Indoboar,
I love that angry looking face on your wild boar. Please tell us some more stories and pictures about your hunts in your place. Thanks and God Bless. 'Nuff said.

 

[indoboar]

i've never hunted babirusa, i want to hunt those boar,but they are protected in the endanger species act. maybe someday some ranch will breed them instead of russian hog so we can hunt babirusa.

 

[beastslayer]

Must be rare. I've never seen one in Borneo jungle either.

If I recall correctly, I saw one in Taman Mini in Jakarta.

 

[indoboar]

babirusa is only in the celebes island, they are exotic animal. they are in the middle between the australiastic and asiatic type animal. i read it in the book somewhere about that stuff. the island in the area containing animal that cant be found in asia or australia such as komodo dragon, anoa bull.

 

[beastslayer]

Taman Mini is a zoo. So that explain it.

I even saw a boar so well groomed the cape looked like an antelope. It has white whiskers and the color is well... just like an antelope.
