EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Found this website, I'm very interested to see how this turns out, really hopein this doesn't ruin the name of our sport anymore than it already is. Sure would be fun to do somethin like this if it works out.

Looks a little sketchy to me  :-\

I agree, it would be a shame for the guys to ruin a good thing, but I wish the best for them in doin what they love and makin an extra buck as long as they don't screw it up for the rest of us!

Did you see the $5000 dog lol, must be good, too good for me that's for sure.

X2!!!!

I dont think anyone with a hog hunting website should show a dog cut up like the two dogs they showed pictures of. That is not something the public needs to see regardless if the dogs were treated etc.

Great!  That's exactly how I want our sport presented to the general public.  Looks like a bad epsiode of cops minus the crack pipe.

i just watched their video catching the no ear hog and i was not impressed at all.   first off they should have had a catch dog or 2 with them to start with.
then the catch dog didnt have on a vest. and then they were worried about a little water in a ditch. they kept saying they werent scared but my eyes were seeing a bunch of scared dudes..    not my type of hunting buddies..  

I have learned not to say anything unless it is good,,, so :-X

dont get me wrong im not trying to slam then and make my way look like the best way.     i just want the rest of the world reading this to know thats not the way everyone catches hogs..    it all goes back to being prepaired and a little planning.     
   if i leave out to a bay  i will have a catch dog with me and we will catch it ears or no,   water or no water..

I didnt even want to waste time to whatch the videos lol

hahahahahahhaha.... Excellent analogy!

X2!!!!!!

 I like the light weight dog box, looks like something I would make. O0

   Typical, I think.

My son found this site a month or so ago though a youtube peta propaganda video and there was a video on there of 2 dog playing tug a war with a 60lb pig one on the tail and one on a ear and one ole boy was cheering them on and the pig lost it's tail...not good...and why did they have to call it SOUTHERN .....   it's more like   $$$$$$$$$$$ambition.... they better get it right or it won't help..... my 2 cents

Them boys were SCARED. If they were worried about their dogs they would have put a vest on them catch dogs.. That is definitely not what I want as a representation of our sport.

I watched some of their videos from the website and youtube both,......doesn't seem to me to be something that the general public should see. These boys will have to take it easy with what they put out to the public or we will all suffer. I too agree that they go off half-roostered at times.....don't understand why they didn't have a firearm of some sort on the earless hog if they weren't going to have their catch dogs handy......one shot and it would have been over. I don't understand why so many hogdogging videos have the heavy metal, headbanging, screaming music to go along with the hunts....I'm all for listening to the kind of music that you like, but that stuff seems a bit out of place on a hunting video.....at least to me.

"the voice of reason" thats pretty scary! looks like they are hi-jacking the handicap shopping carts at Walmart, have a year and half old finished dog for $1200, pictures of a black & Tan houndy dog missing hair all around its eyes, alot left to be desired to be a representative of a day in the life of a hog hunter,

aww come on!! Whats wrong with alittle happy music to get you in the hunting mood!!  ;D
Watch one of the videos Texas_Cur has posted. That Drowning Pool song has PERFECT timing with his catchdog.
Yeah, that music isnt for everybody, especially you old folks  :D

I found it on my iPhone and have yet to get to a computer to watch their videos. I personally don't see these guys helpin out the hog dogger immage. But it should would be neat to do somethin like that and do it right.

I am currently doing an article on the effects of feral hogs in Central Texas. In the article, I am highlighting hog dogging. I know that every sport has its rotten apples but it does not take long to notice that some hunters take the safety of the dogs to the next level. I feel that people who are not educated will look at this with negative ideas on the sport as a whole. I am not trying to belittle anyone - but people who dislike this type of hunting are looking for ammo.

OLD......you mean me? :-\ Hahahaha....I guess I am old to you T Wilbanks....I thought folks my age were old too when I was 22. You can listen to Drowning Pool all you wish to....fine by me. I'm for listening to what you like. I'll listen to some ZZ Top and AC/DC. Good luck next trip.

Your about the same age as my dad, GOSH YOU ARE OLD!!!!!    :D  JUST KIDDING!!!!
Aint nothin wrong with a little sharp dressed man and TNT!!!!!!  ;D
Drowning Pool may be on one side of my CD case, but good ole Hank Sr. and Johnny Cash is right on the other!!!   O0

somehow I don't think "sharp dressed man" describes hog doggers very well  :D

Gives us something to strive for!

good to have goals, I guess

lol that reminds me of a fella around here he would show up a dance with dogs loaded in his truck in starched clothes nice hat boots all dolled up said he just got done huntin and killed either a giant or a ton of hogs asked how he was so clean said he went home and cleaned up asked why his dogs were still loaded up said he forgot about em lol

Wonder why they got all them pics on there that aint theres... that pic on their logo with the catahoula is from uncle earls, and can be found on yahoo. so are the rest of them pics on their scrolling banner.

and i wonder what they will do when the actually bay a "monster"  rolleyes :-\ ,,, or a 350-400lb barr hog???

Exactly what the guys in this video reminded me of rolleyes

^^^yup  :-\

lol atleast some is tryin to make one i guess worth a shot just some people might not like it like we would .....

I don't even think thier from florida or the south ....maybe wittness protection relocation :O

They acted a little skeered to me. I dont want to be shown in the same light with them guys as a hoghunter. Nor would I want to be put in the same catagory as a person with them cats. That is not the kind of people I would enjoy hunting with.

Isnt the saying "a day in the life of"
Not " a day AND the life of"
????

I wondered the same thing Bino.....you're right, it is.

Unfortunately they are from florida, Ft Myers to be exact :-( I don't know them but recognize their area code.  I haven't had a chance to go through the whole site.  It doesn't surprise me that they act like that...there arer A LOT of those in this area that are just out to do it so they can call themselves "hog hunters" and make what we do look terrible to those who are uneducated about our sport.

I'm in agreement with most of what has been said  BUT  are we not trying to better our sport so instead of cutting them down why not bring them up show them all the history of hunting that all of YOU hold inside I think we all agree we are not shown in a very good way to the public  It all starts some were  For sure some one from that project is reading all of this JMO

well they have some good stuff actually they just need to edit out the cursin and quit showin the cuts on the dogs and less blood other than that its pretty neat i will say that but no way on earth will the non hunters see the good stuff just the bad

For sure were not going to change many minds but maybe our numbers will come together    Together we are much more likely to fight a good fight the activist that pelage our sport are growing   Just looking for some thing positive

finally got to a computer tonight to check out the videos and what not. Most of them didnt look too bad, they act like fools a couple of times in some of the videos but who doesnt goof off every now and then. i think some editing of the language, talkin about dogs gettin cut, ect ect would go a long way. They are looking for another group of florida guys to film. why dont some of you florida boys apply for it and maybe help shed some good light on our sport!

There you go !!!

I might know some women that will have a video out in a few weeks!!! ;)

There are 3 women makeing a video that will blow you mind and repensent are lovely sport the best way possibile!!!

Chance,,,  i want the first copy. 

i definatly dont want to see these guys on tv they are not going to help us much is a finished dog a 1.5 yr old cause they got one for sale for 1200 wow i consider that a pup finished is at least 4/5 or older but that is another topic we dont want to go there

No Florida boys wanna sign up and try and represent us the right way...?

i wanna see the women's  video ;D

thats not good first who gos to a bay with no catch dog  and one of the catch dogs was just like the guys in the video (no help) I tell you what else if my dogs are in trouble or anyones dog for that matter I am not going to stand there and watch it happen beleave me I am going to it because my dog would the same for me and you can take that to the bank

    Just remember most of us from Florida are a lot different than they are. There are a lot of $hit birds like that here. It makes my life hard. Every tree huggin bunny petting daisy sniffin hippy will see this and make things even harder for the rest of us.

Now that's funny..

These guys are a bunch of nancy's. They weren't worried about the dogs in the water, they just didn't want to get wet. Two thumbs down.

Please keep in mind not all florida huters hunt like kids! :D

looks like a bunch of rappers trying to hunt ,surprised the land owner let them on there property

Is it me or some kind of moon cycle? But every retard wannabe hog hunter on every internet hog board feels the need to show pictures of butchered dogs.

It happens to me just like everybody that hunts,

but when did it become cool to let your dogs get butchered because someone is afraid to wade a little water. Then post the pics everywhere?? ???

I can't believe these guys! They are sitting there watching their dogs get cut up and are too scared to stick the pig. I would never hunt with fools like this.

My husband and I watched the video together and then I told him that he should bring them along to show them how it is really done, needless to say I can't post his response  :o

I will say that they weren't worried about getting their dogs wrecked for three major(IMO) reasons that I observed:

(1) they went over an hour's walk away w/o a catch dog but remembered the camera
(2) their bay dogs were "shredded" (their words not mine) but once the CD got there they still wanted to wait for him to come up the ditch therefore not backing up their dogs.
(3) the only "armor" I seen on their CD was a cut collar

When you hear "big no eared hog in a ditch" I'm thinking crap its chest deep, dogs are swimming and he is fixing to wreck what ever is in the ditch with him...that is a little different than that hog standing belly deep in water, it shouldnt have posed any problem for them or their dogs if they werent hesitant about getting in the ditch.

We personally know a man that drowned a hog by himself as a few "hunters" (one being his son-in-law I believe) stood on the ditch bank watching his dogs get wrecked before he got there to see what was going on (he's had 2 knee replacements in both legs so it takes him a little longer than the spring chickens)....the hog was about 250 (typo) with 3" of teeth, between him and his dogs they sealed the deal...and that is a TRUE STORY.

There are a lot of trials and tribulations when hunting down here in FL from people not knowing what they are doing to not being able to handle their dogs and this just flat out has NO business on the internet or put into mass distribution. IMO

They look like lost causes. :D

And i'd likely get kicked off my places if the owner saw someone of their likes out with me.

You Florida guys and gals shouldnt take it to hard there are idiots in Texas too!

wtf were they thinkin? they should of had a sidearm to put him down if they didnt have a cd. and if they had any bullets left they should have turned the gun on each other for being stupid. now that would have been a good video :o has anyone tried to contact these guys? they need to take the cut dog pics off the web. that is just fuel for tofu eaters fire. ;D i left them a comment but they probably need to hear it from more than just me.

x2

Well I know most of the place's I hunt belong to ranchers and farmers all of them would not hire a man or boy with ear rings and act a fool like that much less let him just go hunt his place!!! Them ears were not cut off by anyone they were chewed off by someones dogs that was scared to catch a hog like these guys!!!!

it is hard to find places to hunt in Fl I think these guys are just trying to find places to hunt, it blows me away how people from TX put up a post and get invited to hunt on several places must be alot of good people there but down here you have to have alot of $ or know someone who runs a grove or ranch or have some good dogs that people talk about and want to take you so they know they will catch some hogs, I seen they where hunting in Okeechobee and I live by there and have family that lives there and know most people who hunt around that area just wont let anyone hunt there land so I figure these guys payed that man to hunt his land and dident get permission by there reputation as hog hunters and are trying to find spots to hunt by acting like they are some kind of famous internet hunters.

exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!

thay need to learn to hog dog be for thay rune our way of life less time worrying about his face on tv and more about the dogs with out thim you dont have no show that my two cents

i like the description on the clod nose dog like no other that only hunts out 200 to 400 yards and can take a fairly old track.....for 5000 dollars that dog better be able to pop a cobb webb out of a track and go find a hog in the next county

I agree 100% lol :)
