I recently came across an Instagram clip of a guy slowly kayaking towards a big boar that was sound asleep on the creek bank. He then cleanly dispatched the pig with an open site rifle of some kind. I don’t know why it stuck with me, but I was immediately interested in seeing more. A quick search led me to Australian Stu Laughton’s page, which is appropriately named “Hunting With Stu”. The entire page is dedicated to all things wild boar hunting. Turns out Australia has about as bad of a pig problem as Texas and the Southeastern United States. Highlights from our visit with Stu include:

  • Retired military vet
  • What was the evolution as to how he started stalking pigs from his kayak?
  • A cape buffalo safari in the 1990’s
  • Preferred caliber?
  • Hog hunting from an E-bike
  • Australia’s infamous gun buy back of 1996
  • What kind of guns is he legally allowed to own/hunt with?
  • How do Australians feel about their gun laws?
  • The freedom the 2A provides Americans
  • Outlawing duck hunting
  • Banteng and water buffalo
  • Death adders and brown snakes
