EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Don't know who else uses this term, but in south Fl thats what we call legging a hog without the dogs caught. It's risky and your eventually gonna get in a wreck, but it's about the biggest rush you can get IMO.

Who else does this, and what are some tricks you have tried to get it done?

How about some wrecks you have got in doing it?

I've done it a few times, but it is hard on the ol pumper.  Usually can't use the restroom for several days afterward.  I don't have any tricks like your hat trick.  I just move slow and steady.   ;)

did it once on our trainer pig, it was for our graduation and my pop tied 500 bucks to our big boars left foot and first one to get it wins, his teeth were dubbed once a month and he was a mean train of a hog that had planted my arse and my dogs up against the fence plenty of times

never done it to a wild one but with to many drinks and 500 on the line my boots were knocked off but i got that money

Rope around the neck tied off to the pen.. Out in the woods... LOTS AND LOTS OF BEER! and hopefully a somewhat tired hog.

Another thing i've done a few times....

This has worked for me and a few of my buddies a few times. You have two people, one is "bait" and one legs it. The "bait" stands in front of the hog at somewhat of a safe distance, it seems like a hog doesn't even care about the dogs when somebody is standing in front of him, they just get the hogs attention.
Then you just slip up in there real quiet and grab the tail or a leg. Seems like it has worked best at night when the "bait" is shining a light in his eyes.

i have before , well kinda tackled it a bout 5 hogs came out of brush pile an i jumped on a 100 pounder it was kinda fun , but i donno if i try it if it was bigger

i have always wanted to try to leg a good one not caught but the places we have bayed the good ones in were to risky, but if i could get 1 to bay up against the right tree i will slip around and try it, lol just aint gonna go grab a bad 1 standing in the open. lol

We hardly ever have a catchdog with us unless we are track hunting and we turn loose on a big track.  Our dogs will get catchy at times but for the most part will bay.  We have caught alot of hogs with no dogs caught, and have tried to catch quite a few more who weren't having it.  It's all about timing and you'll get tree'd alot but he'll slip up. Alot of our hogs will stand though pretty good.

We bayed a big Barr with only two dogs one night in a open sandy patch and the hog was having no part of me slipping up behind him, and there was no trees to get up so after I fought with him for thirty minutes and got slung around alil, we went and got a ol bulldog to finish the job.  Another big blue boar we tried catching, well he ended up baying under some brush and he shot out as we were figuring what to do, and my uncle caught him by the ears and it picked him up and sliced a pair of rubber boots from the ankle up to the knee.  That woulda been a bad wreck to say the least.  Now I've had sows tree me like a dog trees a coon and reach up and grab my pants leg and pull me outta the tree and work on me alil before I could get her kicked off.

Another truck I seen, a spot light with the strobe feature, you can put it on strobe and shine a hogs eye and it seems to confuse em alil, and you can ease right up to em.  Neat a trick as I ever saw, never believed it til I tried it.  Doesn't work all the time but it works enough to make me a believer.

Yeah, I know some boys down south that were doin that with some sho-e-nuff bad hogs... Not for me...

as i recall there is a pic runnin around somewhere of a Fl Boy tacklin one while wearin a back pack.....  :-\ ;D

The story goes the ole Florida boy in that pic told the boar he was about to be handled by a man who wears tights and the boar wasn't having it  ;D

Ha Ha funny.    :P ;D

this the same fella that wears white crocs???  >:D :laugh:

Damn, yall got waaay too good of a memory... reminds me of my wife...  can't get away with nothin' round here ;D

eh cutter was on the block but we gave the new father a break, i know ill be on the block later with my poor henry dog tryin to catch whatever he can

We will break them down in a field with no dogs and get them to fight our horse then get off when winded and get the hog caught. I have caught them all kinds of ways.

I'd love to see that Chance!

Sometimes, there is no way around having a catch dog though. I've spent hours in the woods watching a bayed hog and not have a damn thing you can do about it.

Did not wear a hat that day did you? ;D

I did it with about a 125lbs Lil boar he was crossin the canal I ran my boat right on side him and flipped him right in the boat the CDs where going nuts while I was tie ing him up but man think that was the neatest rush sence I told my dad in 12 th grade I had my girlfriend knocked up lolol will I do it again like that yes any other way ahhhhhh might have to get some liquid courage in me hahhaha

Come to think of it I didn't ;D It was a big toothy son of a gun bayed up in a head of small cabbage trees

I havnt seen it done but I hunt with guys that have..

I heard stories of guys baying hogs out on Woodruff's ranch. Sometimes baying the hogs with dogs or even just their horses. One guy will come up behind the hog, stand in his saddle and proceed to jump down on the hogs back.. It's worked more then it hasn't but I heard a few years back a stokes boy did it on a Barr and that Barr whooped him down bad lol only thing that saved him were his chaps

Craziest thing Ive ever done is sit on a big boars back like it was a horse with the dogs on it. We hadn't legged it yet. Just to have my pic taken.  :P

This must be a Florida thing  rolleyes these ole billy boars in Texas would eat you alive.
Y'all have fun tippin' I'll stick to the bulldogs and the shoat snatchers 8)

Me n my buddy had 200lb sow bayed in wide open and lost the bulldog on another bay and we both jumped on it he grabed  an ear and I jumped on its back. And it was right at dark with no flash lights and we thought it was boar til we caught it

The first hog I bayed with my dogs was a 150 lb sow. I didn't have a bulldog yet. She bayed in a patch of trees and brush in the edge of a field and I eased in and slipped up behind her, was going to just grab her but she kept trying to spin around on me so I flipped a rope on her and when it came tight she broke for the woods. I went around a sapling with the rope, and when she hit the end the pups caught her. The next one I thought I'd do the same thing. She was about 100 lb. I had her bayed for probably an hour, in a pond, in thick brush, in open woods, it didn't matter. I couldn't get closer than about 10 yd and she would break. I tried to talk the dogs into catching her but she had them bluffed pretty well by then, she was rank for her size. Shortly after that I got a bulldog!

I have and always try to jump any pig that comes close to me dogs or not Ive caught several this way mostly when packs brake and its a free for all
but I did chicken out once on a big boar that came my way

The only one I've ever caught without a catch dog weighted about 3 pounds. But I know a guy real well that used to work on a ranch and him and one of his buddy's would circle them on their horses and then once they stand to fight rope them and drag him past the other guy. I roped one while I was day workin one time and he was actually a nice hog. I let him hav my rope.....  :D

I used to let the curs catch a bad boar and then I upgraded to a 22 bullet and then again to a 22 mag...don't need to feed a bulldog this way...

I used to always say a hog has a boundary that when you cross it it will charge...normally works but once my dog was starting to put the pressure on a big boar and sow. The dog caught the boar and the sow got nervous and made several changes toward me and she always turned and went back...My theory as usual was right on...on her last charge she stopped at the end of her charge and now she had a new boundary...then she came and sort of worked me over before she headed out...I am real mindful of that possibility now... ;D

just don't care to catch a hog without a good dog or two on each ear...riding a big boar is not bad but it can get that way in a hurry when a dog grabs your leg instead of hog...
