EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

I bought a strike dog took him hunting now I can't catch him any ideals how too get my hands on him

  How long have you had him before you took him to the woods?  I usually wait a week or so to let one get use to me before going to the woods.

Had him for two weeks

rope him. or had a friend that set a hog trap up with meat in it. if in the woods. at the house have him on a rope and give him a treat when you call him and he comes. they willl then know when you call them and they come they get a reward

JMO

 may try having some1 else try and catch him. if the dog senses any hostility in your voice, it aint gonna come near you. i am speaking from experience and it was with my own dog that i raised from a pup. it took some1 else to catch him but i did do the praise and treat as i handled him more after he chose not to come to me. aint got an issue with him now.

If he knows what he is supposed to do but is being hard headed a shock collar on low will get his attention.  Some dogs just need to think that you can still have control over them even if they are not right next to you.  Others just take time and lots of attention. My lacys and most of my male dogs that shock collar is a heaven sent but have had and have one now that only attention and or treats will over come.

I had a cat that would not come to me. I roped her a couple times and petted her when I got her. Just let the dog know there is an easier way of doing things.

I had one that a guy gave me , me and craig chased this dog on mules for 3 miles , when he seen the rest of the dogs he followed , I still couldnt catch him , I had already made up my mind when I got to the truck the 30.06 was coming out to retrieve my equip. , I got off my mule and opened the tailgate the dog ran up and loaded , must of new this was his last chance , I returned the dog

Bob lol man sometimes I would love to have a taser gun haha.

Man I want too shoot him so bad but I want my money back an plus he hunts good I just need to get my hands on him before the end of the week so now everyday after work I gotta get in my boat an haul ass down river an try to catch him

Try walking up to him with another dog on the lead it may help. If you ever do catch him tie about a 20 foot piece of weed eater string to his collar, he will be easier to get ahold of next time   

 Take a kid, they always seem to be able to catch the ones you cant! lol

Well set my hog trap yesterday hope I catch him today. I pulled up to the bank in the boat an he hauled azz this will be his 3 rd day on the river he should be pretty hungry
