EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

I've been undecided on which bib to go with, Hardcore Hogdogs or Wildboar USA...input and opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I was skeptical at first with the boar bib from wild boar usa. Espically with a pretty stiff price. I can say after giving in and buyin it, I LOVE IT. Stays in place good, has held up to some big boars and keeps my Biggg cd from gettin too hott. Well worth the money IMO.  Good product.

Heres my thought on them if going to spen yhat much why not apend a little more and get an ausie style plate.  This is going to be the route I go.

I like a long vest that goes all the way back to the hips but if I was getting a boar bib it would defiantly be from hardcorehogdogs.com I only use there vest now and it's the only light weight tuff realiable vest that held up for us I order all my vest with 2 layers of Kevlar and they do great super light and dogs move good in them my CDs wear them and my rough strike dogs to year around. Michaels a good guy and very helpful call him up

My lead in catch dog has a full vest, but I'd like to get my rcd something that allows her to be more agile. I've been running her with just a cut collar and she's been doing fine. I had a strike vest from southern cross kennels and I liked it, but I gave it to my buddy awhile back. I was thinking the bib for the rcd and if my lead in catch dog was getting too hot throughout the day I could switch him to the bib. I've got more dogs than cut collars now, so I also thought instead of buying another collar, just get something with a more protection plus has the collar. The Aussie bibs are nice too, but pricey

I love my rcv from hardcore I let my buddy tres borrow it aka brush buster he seems to like it a lot to I like it cause its got a high neck good luck bud with whatever u decide to get

I have one from WB USA and it's a nice bib. Tough and the dogs can move great in it.

I don't have a bib, but I do have a bay vest & 3 pro deluxe cut collars from hardcore hog dogs. I wouldn't buy from anyone else. They are extremely helpful and friendly.

I checked the one out from hard core at uncle earls. Seemed to be real nice and tough

I bought two because I like the dogs to have some protection.  Heat is a bigger problem than getting cut. 

The bibs are tough and over heating hasn't been an issue.  I would buy more.

I do like the Aussie style cut gear , but have only seen pictures.

I'll sell it back to you for $65 ;D Have you hunted gulf hammock yet.

Not yet. Can't hunt it till general gun starts and can't even go out there to scout till next weekend. I've just been trying to get my new hunting truck and dogbox put together. What's your opinion on the bibs. Since I got a new pup and might be getting my roommate's too I need more cut collars, so I figured I'd just get a bib for Gracie and that'll kill two birds with one stone kinda deal.

That guy Ed that I hunt with in Georgia runs one of Hardcore's bibs. Only frontal protection, but light and maneuverable.

Y'all hunt in the hammock too? Where y'all from?

I live in Morriston. Warren lives in Tennessee, but comes down every so often to hunt Florida. Where are you from?

Crystal river. Also hunt gulf hammock.

The club or the management area? My buddy hunted the club last year and got a few with good teeth, but got 2 dogs killed because of those big teeth. He got out and we're gonna hunt the management area this year and try our luck.

Yeah I'm in the management area

  Is there a decent amount of hogs in there? I only have one friend that is familiar with it. He just pretty much hunted deer last year because he had nobody to run hogs with. This year it's me and two other buddies that got in and hoping to get on some.

Yeah there's a good amount of hogs. Caught quite a few.

It sounds like there isn't too many guys running dogs out there for hogs compared to deer.

Yeah definitely more people hunting deer than hogs

We should meet up sometime during general gun. I'm always happy to meet new people, especially one that has knowledge of the property. Plus with my schedule I have days off throughout the week and will be hunting by myself some so it's always good to know people in case I get in a bind

Yeah Ill pm you my #.

Blake, this is a leather bib I've been runnin on Junior. Rubs a little till it gets wet and then softens up. I run a 4 in collar under it.

Hmm... I think that's like what Charlie's dad always ran and he said it did good for him. But that bib makes Junior look quite hefty lol.

That pic was taken this past May, just after turkey season ended.. Both of them get heavy with 6 weeks off ;D
