EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Circle C brought me about a 200-225# boar with 2-3 cutters he got out of a trap last weekend. I put him in my pen and gave him a week to calm down. A couple friends came over today and brought some young dogs to work in the pen, they wernt doing much so I got an olde dog from my kennel and put her in and that ole boar was workin her over good, I went in to get her out and I got worked over pretty good and pretty fast it seemed like it was over befor it started that big ole boar knocked me off my feet and got on top my legs and cut my leg pretty good I did my best to kick him off for a while till pepper grabbed him on the leg and I was able to make my gettaway. It was all pretty funny, I guess I was lucky. I learned a lesson today, dont under estimate the power of a hog.

Man that sucks! Do I need to bring over my staple gun?  ;)

I'm glad he didn't get you too bad... them suckers are quick.

Thats the worst size hogs right there... they are fast

that sucks sorry to hear that but i know how you feel

JML,

    Just wait until tomorrow evening when I drop of the other two that were caught this weekend. What they lack in size, they make up for in fight.  I don't know that I have ever seen a boar so pissed at the world as the one from Saturday night.

Mandi thinks she needs some practice suturing and wants to know if she can come over ;D

i feel your pain... i had a pretty close encounter myself not too long ago.  they move a lot faster than ya think.  hope it heals up well.  all i can say is wash the chit out of it  and use plenty of Betadine.

Dang thats no good jason. Hope your alright

Ha good story! Get well soon!

sorry to hear that, hope you recover soon.

hey man chicks dig scars...pour some turpentine down in the joker hoss itll burn the fire out of you but you wont have any pain in it the next day

JML,
Before you get in there with that hog again,  maybe you could get Jamie in there to ware him down a little bit first.JT

Hey that leg looked sick.  :-\   Probably keep some campho phenique on it or something..... I like granulex for the dogs, but imagine it would burn a little.

Cheers

i used that betadine (cheap wal-mart version)  a couple times a day on my cut and it worked well.  i washed it with anti-bacterial soap, then patted it dry and then applied the betadine.  it's gonna take a while to heal though.  seemed like mine healed slower than any other wound i've ever had.

dang it i was waiting for someone else to ask so i didnt seem like the weird-o, but you have got to post a pic i gotta see  >:D

haha yeah lets see a pic

They arent making you wear one of those cones around your neck are they. ;D

That's just mean right there :P ;D ;D ;D ;D :D :D :D

And like other folks said, hope you heal fast and....

Tomorow when I unwrap the gause and clean out the cut I will take a picture and post it, thinking about going to see the doctor its looking worse.

That right there is automatic trip to see the sawbones popo popo I don't like docs either but when it comes to what hogs eat and what can build up on they're tusks there are some bacteria even the more through cleaning ain't going to stop. Go see the doc and get some hi-power stuff to nip it in the bud

Hope its nothing too serious bud.....

Dont have a picture yet but its starting to stink a little and has a greenish color to it.

as soon as I saw you reply, i thought "finally, he has a picture up!"  but NOPE, haha.  Thanks for the description though, just makes me want to see a picture even more.

yeah it's probably in your best interest if you like your leg to go ahead and see a doctor cause you've definitely got a bacterial infection

You better get to the doctor... Chris and I might have to hold you down and let Mandi practice carving on you. :o

Better get it looked at.  Would hate for Mike an Sean to have to change your screen name to stumpy.

I know someone who would have bought that pic...  but i think he got bumped off today

Jason, you gotta go man.  Nurse Mandy over here is giving you direct orders to go to the ER!!  This is coming straight from the pro!  You are going to need some iv antibiotics and hope you don't have MRSA!!!  The longer you wait to go, the longer you will be in there...

Matt

 Hope you get better fast...Go See Your Dr!!!!! Hind sight is 20/20, but there is a lesson to be learned here. We all know to use a bump board. Any time we go in a pen with a bigger hog we should carry a bump board with us or simply keep one in the pen. We cannot help a pup in training if we are in a bind ourselves. For those that may not know what I am refering to, it is a piece of plywood about 3 feet wide and 3 feet tall with a handle or two made on it (rope handle or cut handle into the plywood). The bump board is used as a deflection shield to keep the hog off of you, it works great. When a hog charges just plant the bump board's base in the ground and angle it to one side or the other and hold your ground. Good Luck and did I mention go see the DR.!!!!!
