Title: Hobbles Post by: Arkansasbowhunter on December 09, 2020, 11:29:27 am I have been trying to dig through the archives and haven’t had a lot of success. I am looking to make or buy a set of parachord hobbles. I just can’t seem to get the nylon ones on quick enough and them hogs wearing me out lol.
Title: Re: Hobbles Post by: t-dog on December 09, 2020, 02:29:28 pm I won’t lie....this time anyway, I use regular handcuffs. When I’m by myself and going to tie a good hog I cuff a hind to the opposite front with the cuff key hole facing away from the hogs belly. Then I take my time and tie all 4 feet with a tie rope, sometimes just 3 feet depending on if I grabbed a short tie rope. Then I take the cuffs off. If you face the key hole to the belly it seems like it’s easier for them to kick it with their free leg and break or bend the key while it’s in the cuffs if you decide to use just cuffs. I have seen too many hogs slip hobbles and be gone when we came back for them so I prefer a more secure method. Another thing is if you decide to use cuffs, don’t take the ones from the bedroom! That ole boar hog smell is a definite mood killer with most ladies.

Ask my buddy, he got the bad end when he thought he'd be slow getting up. He walks with a limp now after that boar got into his knee pretty good.

Just what worked for me. You’re right about it not cutting circulation off though. That wide strap helps with that.

Also Like T- Dog said,,, clip em upside down to the trees so gravity will help em not kick loose.. you can buy the ones that are reusable or not..
