EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

what is the most adrenilin pumping hunting or fishing of all to do in the usa.

hard to say.  Probably hunting those 4' tall west Texas jack rabbits. The spotted ones with 3" teeth will play hell on you. Legging them can be a real bear too!

Seriously,  I think that would depend on the individual and what gets their blood pumping. To date, I would have to say hog dogging. But I have never been bear or cat hunting either, so I cannot compare to that. I have heard of one guy that will bail out of a boar and wrestle with a gator. I bet his adrenalin is flowing.

I've got some guys over hear that say they'll climb a tree to "knock out" a tree'd bear so the dogs can run it some more... sounds a little rougher than hoggin, but I might change my mind if I get to try it....

Other than that, I'll have to stick with catch and tie hog doggin'.(I've wrastled, juked, hog-tied way to many gators to put that high on the list)

IF YOU WANT ADRENALIN... Look no further than deep freedive spearfishing for big fish in the Gulf... if you weren't scared of the ocean to start off with, you will be.   I still have nightmares from some of the stuff I've seen.

to me its catchin a big boar with some big teeth, cuttin him then turnin him loose and tryin to get out of dodge. but like the other guys said i havent done all the types of huntin in the us.

noah you couldnt drag me outta the boat..theres no way im goin divin lol  ;D

Everybody's a tough guy, till you get them in the deep blue... you've just got to go with somebody that will help you relax.  Clint, I would love for you to come out with me one of these days, I can show you things you wouldn't believe. 

These "cow folk" I've been sorting with as of late are gonna get the "open water" experience soon, and as scared as they are right now, they'll crave it the rest of their lives once they see what's there.

I'm with Noah. There is nothing more intimedating than a Mako. Even worse 40 Silky's that just ate your Tuna and are looking at you now. They get bolder and bolder until its a free for all and you better have eye's in the back of your head.

Things can deteriorate quickly out there can't they :o ;D 

I have cat and bear hunted in New Mexico. I take my hogdogs to New mexico every year and and run bear with them. It has been my experience that hog hunting is more fun. Bear hunting is the next best thing though, you have to like to listen to a good race to like cats and bears.  My hog dogs will keep a bear on the ground longer than solid hounds will because the are pulling hair on them., making them fight rather than climd. I still like a good boar bayed in a cedar thicket. Just my opinion.

JJ,

Where are you from?  I have a good friend in the hog-dog world up in North Texas named Cody Sutton that makes the New Mexico bear run with his dogs each year also.  Don't know him, do you?

I cant say that I know him.  What part of NM. does he hunt?
