I daywork and cowboy and i just use the same tiestrings that I build to tie cattle with.  I've also used hobbles that i've built some and they work good but sometimes you don't have the right size hobbles for the pig thats caught.  So now all I carry are rope strings.

I sure agree with that.  Just one more thing you have to find a pocket or something to stick the tape in when you can hang strings around your neck/shoulders with your leads or through belt loops.  The rope is just too handy to bother with Duct tape.

Never have tried duct tape - we use hobbles or rope when we tie 'em.  Have heard that some guys use handcuffs.. I've never seen that

Hand cuffs work great on bigger hogs not so good on little ones. I perfer hay string on the little ones.

I have used rope, tape, zip ties, wire................the best thing I have used and I wish i had tried them years ago is the uglydog hog hobbles. Only way to go in my opinion.

I usually use rope ,  untill recently and i bought a pair of hobbles and i kinda like them.  BUt i still carry rope with me .

Duct tape is to bulky and most of the time where we catch hogs there usually all wet and muddy. So the duck tape is not a good solution for us.

we use hobbles on smaller hogs but we can't find any hobbles big enough for big hogs so we use tie rope for them

we usually just use tie rope but one time we lost the rope and had to run to the truck and use some duck tape its worked pretty good on the 100lbs hog

if you use rope(1/4 -3/8) you can tie any size hog .  and youll always have what you need without having to worry about keeping up with tape , hobbles or cuffs .   use nylon as cotton will stretch.      j m o
