EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Got a frantic call this mornin bout 5 am. Few buddy's had a big ol bar hog bayed solid, no dogs would catch it. So I loaded up 2 catch dogs and boy do I wish I would have missed that call now. I sent ol beau dog in there ( pit x redbone) and boy was it a fight, so I went on and sent kalimba ( dogo ) in there. Now I ain't never seen a hog shake two purty big dogs off it. Kalimba got thrown higher then I care to even guess how high up he went. Dogs will be in recovery for awhile. But I will catch that boar one day.

Hope they heal up fast for you. Might want to send both of them at same time next time.

Hope the didn't get beat up too bad. This is why I always carry a gun. Them calls like that can get real ugly sometimes.

Dang, thats no bueno!

I'da shot that dang hog lol

Hope your dogs recover quick!

That sucks , hope your dog heals fast

If you had a little catch dog like a jack Russell or Jagd or something you prolly could of caught him , just gotta get his mind on the dog latched on to him an go leg him , I have seen a few big dogs get slung only to have little dog stay caught an you can get a hold of the hog

X2...the first two things that entered my mind...

X 3 we never send less then two to a bay at a time

I would have shot the dogs that did not attempt to catch it ;)

Wish the best for your dogs , hind sight is always 20/20 , could a , would a , should a ,  been there done that , good luck

By reading dodgegirl's story, them dogs DID try to catch. I've seen very seasoned CD's get slung off of bad hogs. It does happen.
They're dogs not machines after all.

To be honest with y'all I wasn't thinkin straight. I wish I would have dropped them together. I had vested beau at the house but didn't put one on kalimba. Figured I wouldn't really need him I guess. Buddy's dog got a pretty good lickin, hopin she pulls through.

Always go loaded for bear better to have and send both and not need both then to not be prepared and need both at same time.

Talking about her buddy's dogs that would not try and catch it. These "kids" these days in Palm Beach county. ;D

Hell girl...., hindsight is 20/20.....can't do nothing bout it now. Get ur dogs back to 100% and go catch that hog yourself and next time kick them boys square in the nads for not inviting you until it got real lol!

Lol Justin. They had invited me the night before, but I just wasn't feeling up to it. I've been real sick the past few days. They know better then to not invite me lol. When I got there I said ya can't ever send a man in without a women to finish the job

And I will be back out soon to finish the boar off

Lol 10 4, well get to feelin better and i hope ya'll burn him down next go round!

Not going beat you up bout not sending both,just dust yourself off,let your dogs heal then go get his head.good luck!

when using two catch dogs send the slower one first and then send the faster dog...plan it so that they get there at about the same time...

The other dogs will usually catch once another dog grabs it. I didn't think I was going to need my other dog. My mistake, but it's over and done with now. Sally is doing better today. Beau is hobbling around the yard and kalimba is a little stiff. But they're doin good. Thanks for y'all's thoughts.

must have been the mike tyson of all hogs, i hope yall catch him soon

I would have shot that daddy didn't marry mommy!!
Hope your dogs get better soon
