A NEAT AND UNUSUAL MANDAU, GOOD FIND. I AGREE THE TROPHYS OR TAILSMAN IS BEAR BUT DON'T KNOW WHAT TYPES ARE IN THAT AREA. THE SLOTH BEAR IS DANGEROUS AND IS ALSO IN THE REGION BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THEY INHABIT BORNEO. SOME PICS OF THE SCABBARD DETAIL WOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT THAT TRIBES ART LOOKS LIKE.
TO SHOOT THAT MANY WILD PIGS IT WOULD HAVE HAD TO HAVE BEEN A BIG DRIVE WITH LOTS OF BEATERS. WILD PIGS OFTEN BECOME A VERY DESTRUCTIVE PEST AND HAVE TO BE THINNED OUT FROM TIME TO TIME IF THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH PREDATORS. DUE TO VERY LARGE LITTERS THEY BREED VERY FAST IN OPTIMUM CONDITIONS AND ARE VERY SMART AND NORMALLY DIFFICULT TO HUNT IN HEAVY COVER. I IMAGINE THAT THE PIGS WERE NOT ALL BOARS AS IT MAKES MORE SENSE TO THIN OUT THE SOWS ALSO IF PIGS ARE BECOMING A PROBLEM. SOMETIMES SUCH HUNTS ARE AN ABUSE OF THOSE WITH POWER AND SOMETIMES EVERYTHING IS JUST BLOWN OUT OF PROPORTION BY THOSE WHO THINK WE ALL SHOULD BE VEGETARIANS.
UNFORTUNATELY THE MEDIA ALWAYS PREFERS A SCANDAL, OUTRAGE OR DISASTER AS IT SELLS MORE PAPERS OR GIVES BETTER RATEINGS.
BEARS ON THE OTHER HAND ARE SLOW BREEDERS AND UNLESS THEY ARE A DANGER TO PEOPLE OR LIVESTOCK IT WOULD BE BETTER TO AT LEAST REGULATE HOW MANY COULD BE TAKEN BASED ON POPULATION IN A AREA.
