hog hunting in texas????????????

It will likely be in March. I need to go see my only living grandparent and spend some time with her here in a couple of weeks. That is about a 2000 mile trip one way.

 

As Attila said, we go out about once a week. I'm just outside of San Antonio...if you're interested just send me an e-mail or pm and we'll set it up.

William, Jazz is due to whelp around the 16th of February. We went out yesterday and had a good hunt. Caught a 175 pound sow. I forgot my camera so no readily available pics. We brought a young man along and he had camera...just waiting for him to send me the pics and then will post pics and story.

 

That is great. looking forward to one of them. Looking forward to pictures and the report. Sounds like a good hunt. Nothing better than dinner.

 

Hey neighbor!

 

oh, im gonna bring a camera and take alot of pics...thanks so much

 

a camera is good. Have to remember to use it though. I always forget about it. I get so excited about hunting I forget about anything but my dogs and catching dinner.

 

Damn treez I was up your way last night. Watched my home town play in the state game over there. If you wanna get your dog started i'd say dont take em out in the wild first. Put em in a pen with a mild one and make sure their gonna do ok. I can get that set up if you want. You'd have to travel about 2 1/2 hrs south 35 though.

 

alright cleared

 

Most hog hunters won't take an unknown catch dog if there is any chance of DA. Don't get me wrong some catch dogs may be DA but they hate the pig worse than another dog and will hit it first. If a man does take u and ur dog latched onto a good bay dog and hurt it the price could get steep fast. Good luck with this and if u can get ur dog in a pen it's a plus but it may or may not catch at first, a lil squealing can get most going and ready to lay some teeth on a pig.

Some trailcam pics my friend sent me. How many of you have wild hogs living near or on your property?

 

they're pretty thick around here . usually you don't see as much activity during deer season . they're coming into the neighborhoods and the school grounds around here .

 

Killed this one in the back yard.

You can't use a pen no more? You got to just let a young one go, and hope for the best?

 

It is against the law to have catch dog comps. Most folks will still use a caught pig. They either put it in a cage or a horse trailer and let the pup get bumped a few times to get them going. With bigger dogs lots of times either they bay one up and lead cd in to where they can see the hog. If it's big they cut loose a good cd then turn loose the one learning one. After a few times or if the younger dog seems to have an idea of what it needs to do they will cut it loose by itself on smaller hogs. After it gets a few catches under its belt and if it holds clean and doesn't regrip it's time for a big hog and see what they got. If a dog is unstarted and grown isn't DA u put it in on a big hog with the experienced dog and look it over then next time see what it's got solo. Most bulldogs will catch but the way they hold and position themselves can determine if they gonna make a good CD or not.
