Most guides want their clients to use a specific type of knife, so talk to your guide. Generally, they have chase dogs and pinning dogs, the pinning dogs are only released when the pig is bayed. There is usually 2 pinning dogs, each grabbing an ear. The guide then grabs the hind legs of the pig and pulls them back disabling the animal. Once this is done, and then dogs have a good hold on the ears, the client straddles the pig and thrusts the knife into the chest cavity and pushes it down in/through the heart dispatching the animal (the whole time being careful of the dogs). Once the dogs pin the pig, this process should take no longer than a minute, as it dangerous for dogs and humans alike.

We go to Kauai often, and I've always wanted to do this. Would you mind passing along the guide/hunt info? And of course, let us know how the hunt goes!

We used to have two sisters as members here. They were from TX, and those girls posted pig and knife pictures all the time.

Satchmo and Daisy Mae, where are you?

Good luck Dustin, have a safe hunt.
