Thread: Hunting on Horseback

Years ago I tried pig hunting on horseback, on the station I was working on.
Pleasant day out but I had far more success taking a quad and then hunting on foot. Could get into far more areas and wasn’t tied to having to return to horse.
Also, a scabbard is a must. Rifle slung over your back is a no go if there’s any chance of having to ride horse under a tree. The horse doesn’t stop just because you’re hung up in a tree haha.
The other must is the horse MUST be bombproof.
I think it would be well worth a go down south.

I would have thought returning to quad as similar to returning to horse if having to leave it to hunt on foot.
