EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Are yall allowed to dog deer in Texas ?

Long as mr green pants don't find out !

Aslong as you don't get caught lol. My grandpa had ran hoop nets for ever up until 20-25 years ago before it was illegal. He always told us when we was younger nothing was illegal till you got caught. Now he just don't want us to get in trouble lol.

NO! Been illegal for many many yrs. Even trailing wounded deer with blood dogs is illegal in some counties here.

I was just curious.  It's legal here in the southern part of the state. Big debate about it. Most non dog hunters don't like it. I found an awesome jug today at an older fellas house. I asked what he'd take for it and he said just take it. Had some hounds trailing a buck on it and got me wandering if it was legal in yalls state. I'll try to post some pics of it. It's pretty cool

What is a hoop net?

Can't see it in this picture but there's a dog in behind the deer to . I thought the jug was cool as heck.

That is neat looking. Great find

a really really big dip net without a handle. used to set them out that ranged from 4'-12' in length and most were 4' in diameter. take 4 houla-hoops, spread them apart bout 3'-4' and tie a 1"-1.5" square fish net around them. close off one end, and leave one end open with a bottle neck mouth for fish to go in. or you can google it to get a better idea.

Still run deer dogs in AR. Getting to be less and less tho. High deer populations has made folks get funny. They sit a stand and see 20 deer a day and are happy. 20 years ago everyone would call for us to come run dogs. But then u might sit a stand all week and see 1 deer. Folks didn't have lots of feeders out either.

They damn sure run the hell outa deer here and everywhere that they run them the hogs wear Nikes.

Same here Cracker. I have a 12000 acre hunting club that surrounds my property. It is a dog running club and it has dogs running on it 10 months out of the year. They stop in July for the does having fawns an Turkey season. Other then that if it is on the ground it is going to be run by something & these hogs are definently runners.

Do yalls deer hunters that strictly hunt from a stand and don't run any kind of dogs talk down on the dog guys? They sure do here.

I hunt a lease set up for the same thing. Everybody knows them ol hound dogs are trashy as heck, so hogs are getting run 11 months outta the year and most of them hogs can flat run for a LONG time.

Last year I had a cur dog trailing a good hog in a bottom, when over the hill a pack of walkers come burning a deer up. That bottom blew up for a few minutes, and it didn't get any better sounding then the music I was hearing.

From what I hear it's dying pretty fast here in La. The government finally snuffed out the boys in kisatchie national forest last couple years. One of the big paper companies have banned it on there north la properties also. It's about dead down south too. Everybody still hunts. The same paper company still allows it down here. Also the few hunting clubs in swamps still do it but they lost bunch of land to state wma about 10 or 15 years ago. I love it but it's dying faster than tree in the desert. I love hearing them long legged walkers pouring the coal to ones butt on a cold morning then hear the water splashing as they get closer.

I live in south Arkansas, got thirty walkw/ July crosses. We run day to dark. Our camp is 12,800 acres.

dang that must be nice to have a lease that big. Are there plenty of hogs on it to? 

A pretty good bit, and the good part I am the only hog dogger.

I am a member of 3 more lease just for the hogs. Kinda hard to get a place with em down here now. We have trouble with tresspassing pretty bad at one lease that is 8,300 acres
