Swamp peoples better

Personally I'm not a fan of that American Hoggers, they all seem a bit half arsed like they don't really know what they are doing. Lady Hoggers is much better imo, the main man on there, Gary, seems t

Good pics mate. A couple of questions if you dont mind. Why are some of the pigs dead and some of the others look hobbled or something? Whats the reason for keeping em alive? And ... Are the running dogs stags and what do they bring to the table that an athletic bull doesnt? I asuming the pigs arnt that fast is it just work for them? Cheers mate.

We take most alive to sell but some are in places where it's hard to get them to 4 wheeler or truck so we kill those

As far as the sighthounds ,

A wild hog is extremely fast alot of people think they are not but a bulldog has no chance of running down a 150 to 225 pound hog out in an open feild , now a smaller hog or bigger hog yes but he better be a fast bulldog , I mostly use my stag for open feild hunting an after the cur dogs bay one I can send him in to catch it , a hog is like a bulldozer he can go fast in the open an in thick brush he will out run most dogs in the open an in thick brush he will run till he decides to stop an bay , some hogs will keep goin for miles , the farthest I have ran one hog to date is 3.67 miles , my stag can usally catch them in the open as long as he has the room to do it but if they make it to the brush before he gets to them you have to let the curs go in an trail him

ahhh i never realised they would be that fast. Thought the would just plod on at a steady pace tbh. Do you find you stag gets chucked around much as im sure big pigs must be a night mare. Why do people buy live hogs, im sure it cant be for stocking other areas or for farming. Are they used for training younger dogs or for trails? Its something ive been interested in for a while and if i ever come to the states im going to try and get a day or two out somewere i think. Cheers for the info btw.

Ya they can run !!

My stag has a good holding style he catch on the ear an gets up close to the hog an kinda walks in s circle with them , but yes some big hogs will sling the dogs around a little till they get there footing together ,

 

The slaughter house buys them they will buy as many as you can bring , an sone high fence ranches what big tooth hogs

great write up, and even better pics swamphunter.

how often you get out on a weekly baseis, and does the work take a lot out of the stags and bulldogs.

ye are very lucky to have that type of hunting over there.

hope you keep up dating us with your hunts.

swamphunter i watch a tv show called sons of guns on one of the shows they made a muscled up, silenced, night stalking AR to shoot hogs do you guys shoot many or is it mostly all dog wrk and is this coz there is to much cover to shoot them and loved the pics thanks for sharing :gunsmilie:

 

we mostly catch them with dogs alot more fun !!! an you can sell a dead hog :thumbs: , when i do shoot them i usally use my 22 mag . head shots so not to waste an meat, hogs are tough an if you dont hit the heart lungs , brain or something they will live with just gettin hit in leg or something , have cleaned one that had a bullet stuck in shoulder bone , an have seen a few people catch 3 legged hogs

 

texas has land that is dessert to nasty swamp an all in between , so some places are harder to hunt with dogs or shoot just depends on where in the state you are , we hunt all over you can tell the diffrence the dogs, they get used to hunting one kind of area an you haul them 200 miles to a diffrent one an it takes them a little bit to adjust
