X's 2, lets pray these show go off air so the influx of new "hog doggers" will dwindle away and our sport will fall back out of the lime light, where is should be.

I sure have seen alot of people selling out in the Dog Trade over the last couple of months. I don't mind new people getting started as long as they are good respectful hunters and do not make the rest of us look bad.

Yes there are way to many fly by night hoggers. I have friends and neighbors always wanting buy dogs or asking where to find good dogs. I always try to convince them there better off just going with us then havin all the work and expense of the dogs.

thats the pigs that are left from them hauling them onto your ranch. if u nvr saw any hog and then all of a sudden after they show up and "remove your hog problem" your seeing hogs, wow they must hav turned out 48ft cattle trailers worth of hogs.

I've hunted alot of different ways over the years, and I'd say the closer range "walk" dogs like they have on the show are the best type for filming.  I mean how much footage would they get of a sure enough long range hog dog?  I bet the folks on the show would do it alot different if they didn't have to worry about getting good footage.


I'm sure it has caused a whole new crop of wanna be hog hunters, but were'nt we all wanna be's at some point?(some hunts I still feel like one ;))

Yea we all know a lot of it is staged but thats probably 99% of reality shows. I thinks its awesome they get to make a living doing what they enjoy. I dont think they are hurting us as bad as most people on the www now days cause i cant recall them letting the dogs chew down the hogs and they pretty much take everything out alive. Most people probably dont even wanna see them hunting they just wanna see Lea and Krystal!! ;D


Title: Re: American Hoggers
Post by: charles on August 12, 2012, 04:50:42 pm
 reality shows should be a true reality, not a costume dress up of what reality should be. it should be real, not marker cards and retakes bc someones chaps arent on properly or the gurt strap broke or some1 who cant tie a knott, the pig gets loose and then gets retied and then a comment is made, "thats how you tie a hog" if you take 90% crap out of it, you end up with a better showing of something in its true form, not made up believes

As it has been stated already y'all that think you can do better should film your own hunts and c if some one will put u on a national television show. I think it could be shown in a different light but they are getting payed to do what we all love and that's catch pigs and if there is something on tv u don't enjoy change the channel

that show does not come on my tv, if i see it, i pass it up, but i will watch the episode that a friend gonna be on.
why should it be shown the ins n outs of the sport, why continue to feed the idiots. u show the producers what you got, they say nope, not enough flash and dash to be on tv. you need to do it this way bc its all for ratings, not for the reality of the show. be realistic if your gonna put it on the nation to see.

I agree 110% as well Charles I mean go look in the dog trade there is very few of us who actually us this forum as more than just a dog peddler on the dog trade finished dogs for 300 bucks yea right not trying to be rude but most of the dogs you see on the dog trade are from people who watched one of these so called reality shows decided to become hog hunters and then 3-8 months later decide that hog hunting isn't there cup of tea so they post their dogs in the dog trade and try to get something out if them then some one who really and truely does want to become a hog hunter buys those dogs and they aren't up to par ain't it ruins them from wanting to hog hunt have nothing against them getting paid to do what they love to do but reality means real and I can't find many things on these shows that really happen like that on any of my hunts

Post by: TexasHogDogs on August 12, 2012, 10:40:52 pm
When I first seen it I was kinda critcal of all of it and the other hog hunting shows .  Now that I have had a year to think about it all .   You know what its just a tv show entertainment and they do catch hogs thats all that matters.  I done got to were I kinda like watching the shows its better than a lot of the garbage that is on tv these days and I would rather have my kids looking at this rather than some of terriable cartoons they have these days and they wonder why kids are the way they are .

In my day they would have locked down the tv station for showing such garbage!

Their dogs are their dogs they likem so they good with me .  Who cares.

One other thing any real women hog hunter are man knows you dont go out on a hog hunt in the tightest jeans you can get on and a tight tight tight pink shirt were your boobs look like they are screaming to breath.  Then comes the makeup and eye liner that would really look like mud in about five mins in the Texas Heat.  O and lets not forget the custom jewlery that looks like they may be kin to Snoop dog, on a real hog hunt come on man !  Then you got the boy that wears a hat that looks like a small TeePee sittin on his head LOL and he has on I guess the thick ass leather snake proof chaps that anybody on here knows are so hot in the winter you cant hardly wear them muchless in 105 degee Texas heat and to top that off chasing hogs with them on come on man damn .  Nobody is really dirity are bloody when it is all said and done .  I have never been on a  hog hunt were I caught tied are killed three four five hogs and come out looking like I just came from the cleaners .

So after a year to think about it I watch it and laugh a lot and get some good kicks out of it .  They catch  hogs tho so to each his on and hell they doing better than us they gettin paid big bucks. 


I might have to get me one of them Tee Pee hats Lmao !


Title: Re: American Hoggers
Post by: charles on August 12, 2012, 11:08:44 pm
 yaw are right, they are catching hogs, but how many times do really you see the pig just jump up and run right in front of you? i will admit, that on a couple acassions, the dogs were plum dog tired, as was the 2 guys and myself and we actually saw the hogs, about 80yds in front of us and then they scattered. the dogs took off after them, caught 3 out of probably 20 head. we ended up toting them out, which the boat was a half a mile away and it took 2 trips to get all hogs n dogs back to the boat. that hog hump will never happen again. every scene when they catch the hog, the camera guy has lens on the hog before the dog does and then its like a que card, the dogs take off and hav a lil 100lb hog caught, well 100lbs most of the time. i guess if you are doing what you like (catching hogs) but dont mind stretching a mile of truth and a 10lb bag of sugar coating, then its fine and dandy.


Title: Re: American Hoggers
Post by: TexasHogDogs on August 12, 2012, 11:34:41 pm
I just want to know how that big ass Tee Pee hat stays on his head . Hell I cant even keep a baseball cap on my head when Am headed threw the brush and briars to get a hog I done lost about ten of them in the last five years.  Maybe there is a art to it I just dont know about .  I would have to  paint that 150.00 Tee Pee Fire Truck Red so I could find it and end up huntin my damn hat more than the hogs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LMMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!


Title: Re: American Hoggers
Post by: AnthonyB on August 13, 2012, 03:14:59 am
I think that when they cast this show they were looking for character, not the best hog hunters in the world. No it may not be accurate to the way everyone hunts, but it's not meant to be. It's meant to be entertainment, I mean come on, it's not on the documentary channel or the science channel. It's meant for ratings and to make money for the company producing it. I like the show, the old man is funny and the hunting is kinda comical at times, but I don't expect it to be an exact representation either.  Watch it and see it for what it is or change the channel.

When Swamp People came on the air most folks from south Louisiana  was very disappointed in how they portrayed the Cajun people and how they portrayed alligator hunting in general. Every thing about that show is sensationalized. But the thing that matters the most is that people from outside of Louisiana can't get enough and the ratings are through the roof. The Cajun kids also love it. Same as the
Hoggers show. People from outside of Texas and hog hunting areas don't know any different and they also can't get enough.
   They even got a new show about a group of Cajuns hunting down and destroying nutrias to control the population. They use machine
guns, hand grenades, flame throwers etc. Very very STUPID show to us from Louisiana but I wouldn't be surprised If it too was a hit
outside of Louisiana. The name of the show is  " Rat Ba$tards". I got a 4 yr. old nephew that loves it, says he want's to be a
Rat Ba$tard, lol.

If you guys are alligator hunters how much does say a 10 foot alligator weigh thats the main thing that gets me on that show. Just have a hard time grasping it when the narrator says they caught a 9 footer that weighs 600lbs I mean think about it if they caught 10 gators and say all together they weighed 3500lbs does anyone believe you could carry that weight on a aluminum boat on a single axle trailer?
             you can probely haul it

They show 8 ft. Alligators caught on the show and the narrator calls him godzilla and says he weighs 1000 lbs.

Gators are individually different. Some are very round and heavy. Some are long and skinny. A 10 footer can weigh 400 lbs and another 10
footer can weigh 600 lbs.  The ones caught back in the cypress swamps away from public canals and bayous tend to be huge. I'll post some pics of my younger days and some of the gators we caught if I can find them. As far as hauling them on a single axle trailer, those are not standard axles. Anyone who does any type of commercial fishing,crawfishing,alligator fishing, etc. has beefed up axles and springs.

yaw are right, they are catching hogs, but how many times do really you see the pig just jump up and run right in front of you? i will admit, that on a couple acassions, the dogs were plum dog tired, as was the 2 guys and myself and we actually saw the hogs, about 80yds in front of us and then they scattered. the dogs took off after them, caught 3 out of probably 20 head. we ended up toting them out, which the boat was a half a mile away and it took 2 trips to get all hogs n dogs back to the boat. that hog hump will never happen again. every scene when they catch the hog, the camera guy has lens on the hog before the dog does and then its like a que card, the dogs take off and hav a lil 100lb hog caught, well 100lbs most of the time. i guess if you are doing what you like (catching hogs) but dont mind stretching a mile of truth and a 10lb bag of sugar coating, then its fine and dandy.

Sounds like they hunt papered Ben dogs to me!!!!  :D

I guess I'll rephrase it to where you might can understand.... 

You know those outrageously price papered dogs that hunt 20 yards and if you somehow stumble on a hog MIGHT try to catch it?? The ones people breed for money and will sell them because of a name On a piece of paper instead of their abilities??

My first comment about ben dogs wasn't actually about your dog(s)...
It was more pertaining to the thread awhile back about the Ben line...
I know, I know there's good dog on all lines blah blah blah...

I just figured I'd give the sorry ol catahoulas a break and pick on somebody else for a change..  >:D

I would imagine if put to real use (off camera) them dogs would be good or better than good, but they could as you say better tv stars than they are real dogs. Close hunt/walkn dogs are better in some places than others and may be prefered than them long ranged dogs bc of property size.

Aggravates me how Robert keeps physically pushing Krystal around. My brothers would never do that. If they did, forget the damn hog, I would go all psycho Rambo ninja on their ass. No man should ever put their hands on a woman like that. Robert needs his mouth washed out with soap too for being so rude n ugly to everyone. Both kids need asswhoopings too for disrespecting their dad. Horrible portrayal for hog hunting.

Ears gone and tore up and teeth dubbed.. If that dont tell ya its staged i dont know what..... I am sure the feud is just put on for a story line.

10-4 on that.. I couldn't believe that big boar was so torn up. His ears looked like they'd already caught him 5 times. And you could definitely see his teeth had been knocked out. I love it how they make hogs out to be so vicious and deadly. The people on the East coast must be scared to death hogs will one say overrun new York city lol in most clips you can see a high fence in the background..

I agree on Robert being a DB, he wouldn't last a second around our crew. One minute he is screaming for help like a lil bitch and the next he's knockIng girls out of the way. Decent show, funny but definitely portrays us hog hunters in very redneck, hillbilly way

How many are wondering about that pig that just pops out from behind that round bale?  A cut hayfield, broad daylight, with them unloading dogs and horses a short distance away.  Dog runs up to the hay bale and wham, a hog appears. 

I got the chance, many years ago, to assist on a "guided pheasant hunt" on a fancy hunting ranch just a few miles NW of San Antonio.  Actually did a duck hunt too, but the "pheasant hunt" took place in about a 3 acre field that looked just like that hay meadow in the show.  Scattered about were round bales and behind each bale was a man with a box full of pen raised pheasants.  As the "hunters" approached a bale, the head dude would radio the guy behind the bale and magically a pheasant or two would fly up and quickly get blasted by some rich dude or his wife.  Oh what grand fun they all had.

We all know the hunting is fake but as long as they keep acting like the hogs are gonna come to your house and attack you, I dont think its a bad deal. The general public dont know much about hogs and they believe what they see. I have gotten a few new hunting spots because of the show scaring the chit outta people.

It's entertainment just watching and making fun of the dumb stuff they say and rewinding and finding stuff like a man standing in front of a hog the dogs are chasing hiding behind some brush with his head sticking up like he didn't just let it up in front of the dogs.

For as much as pistol  talked about the safety of the dogs she is all about being the center of attention  even if that means leaving the dogs bayed.  I know its all for TV but thy can make it a little more realistic, people that have never been watch that show and think its like that when you go.. I know I have never had a hunt that easy, there is always thick brush or a tank we have to get in.  Like someone said earlier... The hogs ran in the middle of the camera crew.. And they always show the dogs pretty close to them then suddenly you hear a bark and it shows the dogs taking off haha.. I watch it to laugh.. but at times it pisses me off because I know its not like that.

Who raises cows in a high fence ranch?

I have personally worked on 11 ranches that I can think of off the top of my head in north tx that are high fence operations but also have cattle for the purposes of keeping the brush eat down on shooting lanes and taxes

I think all but two of the high fence ranches that I have hunted in the hill country have cattle on them...

I think the point is......if you paid 20k a mile for high fence on 40k acre a few calves isn't going to ruin your business.
  I just wish they would stop the bs storys.

Obviously they dont show the whole hunt because you cant catch 4 pigs in 21 minutes and have everything loaded up and be home. it does look easy, they show the parts where they are on a hog. we hunt 4 hours and we may not have 1 hog caught yet. they are getting paid to do this so why does everyone have to bash on them, its their show if you dont like it change the channel!

I'm glad someone else saw that deer footed calf. I rewound my DVR 5 times trying to see for sure that is was a dead deer.  Just could not believe they would say it was a dead calf and show a dead deer foot.

I must admit, I got a big crush on Lea. She makes the show.

How much money could they possibly be making for catching hogs?   It seems that this is, and has been, there sole source of income for quite some time, so how much money do they bring in?  Now I know that since they got the TV show, they are getting paid for that, but I'm talking about from the farmers/ranchers.
That last show, they went to a 30 or 40,000 acre ranch and caught about 5 hogs and said they took care of the hog problem and the rancher could finally sleep at night.   :o

I'm not knocking the family, realizing the editors are putting together "entertainment" for the rest of the world.  So if someone actually knows them, maybe you can fill us in how they make money.  I hunt a big ranch and don't get paid a penny, sure would be nice to cover some expenses every once in a while.  :-\ 

How many others get paid to catch hogs on other peoples land?  I'd like to hear from those as well.

And the two ladies rock!  Not only are they easy on the eyes, but they can get the job done.  My hats off to 'em!

you've been lucky 94 i was put up many a tree when i first started harrasing the hogs around my old farm  lol that is the reason i started killin hogs . i hope every recently became an urban city boy and girl becomes terrified of hogs , it will sure open up a bunch of places to hunt and trap . hogs are a dangerouse animal to the point i made some kids get out of the woods where i was hunting and i told their parents to not let them go down that creek bottom without adult supervision for the simple fact i knew the old boar and sows that bedded down in there well . and if you stumbled up on a sounder [ like i used to do while tracking them ] they would come to greet you  lol and it don't take but one runnin by you and slinging it's head to make you bleed out before you get help . we as hog hunters know the risk kids walking down to the fishin hole don't . it ia a good thing the hogs are put in this light  imo . it might save a young boy or girls life if they know to watch out for the killer hogs  .

So I picked up watching this show also, is it just me or are they possibly staging these hunts?  I haven't seen one hog of any real size and definately nothing other than milk teeth on anything they have caught.  Watched one this afternoon of a "huge" hog they caught that had a ear all messed up, looked like it was a ear that a bullbog had just shredded...
