EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Not trying to pick on anyone but seems like several people I have hunted with act like they are afraid of a pig 100 and under.  These guys catch their fair share.  Anyone else here afraid of pigs?

Me... ;D

I'm too stupid to be scared unfortunately...

Use to be, didn't have them up north, all I could see was images from old yeller before I came to Texas, but I got my dogs and I trust em.  If they got a hold I am the first dumd ass to fall down the creek bank in a hurry to jump on any hog I see.

Guess that is me I'm cautious of them but not scared to jump in and get ahold lol

Never been skeerd of a hog but I damn sure got a ton of respect for them and so for that is what has kept me safe!  Safety first folks no hog is worth a human death are cut all to peices .

Happens ALOT.

Usually only two situations make my butthole pucker, a truly big boarhog with no bulldog on him, and a hog in the water. (I have had some close calls with my feet slippin or getting stuck and having the hog spin on me and getting on the business end. One time I had no choice but to grab ears and push it's head down, thank god it was a sow wit no teeth) ( I realize that taken out of content, that last sentence sounded kinda gay. Y'all know what I meant though) (honor system folks, c'mon)

I respect them but and know what they are capable of but I cant say im scared of em.

The "pucker factor" does go up at times in certain situations but hell thats parta the fun lol

Not gay tbob, it was a sow lolololololol

Guys I'm not talking about big hogs I'm talking 60 pound pigs

True dat.

And yeah bro, lots Of folks are scared of lil hogs, but if you look at their pics of the 100 pound hogs, they'll swear they were 200 pounders! And all their legit 200 pound hogs are 500 pounds and make chin high rubs.  ;)


Think about this though, a squirrel only weighs about a pound but I will never catch one by hand again!!!!

Lmao tbob that is durn sure true them suckers are mean.  I have seen some of the hogs they have caught personally been with them on some but when it comes to a pig they act like it is a 3 headed rattler.

x2

Haha heck yeah!  I had a Tom cat run me off the porch one night.

I never was afraid until a few close calls...now I am very careful...one thing that gets me is going in after a big boar on a muddy/soggy bank and I am getting stuck in the mud with my snake boots on...just a bad feeling when it is rough cur dogs and no real catch dog on the hog...

no scared of  a hog but know when to get the heck out of the way , kinda like a rough cur dog i will catch the sucker if he give me a chance but i gonna get out the way till i see my break to get him,

i had hogs run me up trees on top of bobwire fences lol but they wasnt no 60 pounders just grab them lil guys

Im not scared of hogs I been cut a couple of times but nothing major I know when to not to mess with one tho and when to get out of the way

Any pig small enough for me to shove their head in the dirt I ain't even worried about. I watch guys in a pen hiding behind a board with a 50 lb pig. Now I guess they can still get you but I ain't getting behind a board until they get to almost 150lb or big enough that when I put my boot between their eye and and stand up on their head they throw me in the air. Then I still ain't scared but the playing slows down.

Now in the mud and stuff it is just respet.

Hes talkn about people like me! Lol a lil shoat tied down in the floorboard of his truck and my feet on the dash. Dunno wat it is but i just dont like them. But in the woods or in a pen or somethin i trust my dogs. Wont hesitate to grab one. Ive had to grab an ear before and i ended up getting cut. Ive been cut three to many times. Used to not be scared at all just barrel in and get ahold of somethin. But the more i go the more cautious i get. Idk if im scared or not but i just dont like em. But will defenatley catch one there is nothin like it

I am as of saturday!

Well im not scared of any size pig unless they got some Damn good cutters!  I been cut down and flipped down by plenty of hogs. I had plenty of memories jumping on top of and over hogs pushing 200lbs plus Im just really cautious about the hogs with  the big cutters.

Not scared of any pig.....big ol boar hog..
The caution flag goes up but either way
im allways the first one to leg one.   Ive had my gair share
Of close calls.  And accidents got my paants leg ripped all tje
Way to my knee onetime by a rank sow and she only had 1/2
Inch teeth..so regardless allways have some respect.

seen a old boy get used as a mop in some heavy brush one night by a 200lb sow just cause they dont have ivory dont mean they cant hurt you ive also seen some sows with some nise pokers

I am very carefully when I'm alone!  Don't want to get bit from stupity!  If possible I always try to approach from behind on larger hogs..   Now my hunting buddy tdog ain't got no sense he follows bull dog most of the time head first!  Never seen him step around one just goes rite beside them on way to a back leg!   They caught a good one Monday & he said he had to go around, would have like to of seen this, guess there is a first time for everything!   It was one heck of a hog...

Not scared but sure respect one

Slipped in a muddy bay pen and a big sow toe my a$$ up. Also slipped in the marsh and a sow knocked me down and ran slap over me.
I hate to admit it but I'm a lil gun shy. I'm 50 yrs. old with bum knees . I just can't move like you young guys and gals. I started letting them young nephews lead the charge and I bring up the rear ;D

always have been, always will be

your too honest...  ;) :)
