I live 10 min from Walden I'm off 2854. Even if I couldn't find someone to tag along with I was thinking maybe going to some bay pens and have at it. I just need some hands on experience even if its to just train pups. Thanks for reading.

HOG & DOGS / GENERAL DISCUSSION / women hoggers

I know its a long shot but was wondering if any women hoggers would be willing to show me the ropes? I've been on 3 hunts and only got one small hog. I keep asking my son to take me but never does and tells me I don't know how to hunt. So I told him if he wouldn't I would find my own way. Any help man or women would be much appreciated. I live in Montgomery north of Houston. Thanks, Amber aallen@ameritexllc.com

Thanks for your comments. Not looking to sue anyone. It was a freak accident. I wanted to hear comments because I didn't want to look at it one sided as a parent. I thank god he is ok and he will continue to hunt he just needs to look at the whole situation. I would disagree about the comment about the dog not intentionally going after a running horse. Any inexperienced dog can trash on anything if not trained properly. But a persons throat???unfortunately I had to share this story. But I also hope that some of these young hunters realize just when you think nothing can go wrong just that quick it can. If he got hurt by a hog I think I would feel totally different. That is just my opinion neither right or wrong.

HOG & DOGS / GENERAL DISCUSSION / Mother's concern

This weekend my son who is 17 and a friend of his decided to go out on a guided hunt with a friend as some helpers. I keep getting bits and pieces of the story but this is what I know so far. So they were out hunting and get on a bay. My son and his friend are riding horses and going to the bay. Apparently the guy who paid for the hunt brought some dogs or they were trying a new dog out ( still not clear). So they cut this new dog loose and goes straight for the mule my son is riding. Then the mule starts to buck well my son goes to jump off and when he falls he lands on his shoulder next thing you know this dog has got a hold of his neck. So he yells and the dog lets go either from him yelling (i think) so he's there dazed and doesnt notice until he gets up that he landed on a hornets nest. During this time the dog's have turned to chasing the mule and his friend trying to get the mule is kicken the dogs to get them off. I take my son to the hospital and he's complaining about his shoulder being sore and his neck hurting from the bite. The hospital starts asking if we called the sheriff's and animal control and my son starts to get mad from all the questions. He just wants some pain meds for the shoulder and to call it a night. We start talking and he said I could have died. He said when he went to jump off the mule his foot got caught. Those dogs chased the mule for some distance. After a couple hours waiting in the hospital to be seen we ask how much longer it was going to be and they said there was like 5 people ahead of him and it would be a while. So we decided to go home. So far he seems to be fine but him telling me he was dazed it concerns me. He is 17 and hard headed as can be like he can just brush things off. He says it just a freak accident and doesnt want to make it a big deal. I understand this is what he loves to do and I try to stay out of his business but the thought of him telling me this story I have a hard time sleeping. I dont want to tell him not to hunt but I want him to understand accountability. I'm not here to point fingers but who should take responsibility? I have a kid with a sore shoulder and a bite mark on his neck and his friend with a mule with bite marks and punctures holes from the dog and wire fences from running. Should I being he is a minor and just take it as a bad experience, The guide who took them or the owner of the dog who started it? Like I said I'm not here to bad mouth anyone nor start any talk. What are your thoughts? Thanks for listening. I needed to get this off my chest.

I was looking to buy a Fenix headlamp 6 277 lumens. Can anyone give me some feedback pro's/con's? I have read reviews about it but most where from people who hike or camp. It says it waterproof and for $65 it seems like a creaming deal for 277 lumens. Thanks. Amber 936-445-0410 aallen@ameritexllc.com

Thanks for some of the suggestions. He's a teenager and wants all the upgraded stuff. And I dont mind spending money on hunting or fishing because it keeps him out of trouble. A box full of mule tape sound awesome...lol...I'm going to take the suggestions of getting smaller items and save some money for something bigger later.

Sorry I was up late and thought bout that after the fact. He is 16 yrs and loves hunting and fishing. He has tons of fishing gear so I was leaning toward hunting. He has his own dogs and some cut gear and a few other things. I guess I was wondering if there something like a "must have" for hog hunting. He may already have everything he needs. I just know that new products for hog hunting don't just advertise like fishing stuff would. Once again thanks. Amber 936-445-0410 aallen@ameritexllc.com

I have been on this site for some time but never post anything but have read plenty. I'm not seasoned to the whole game but wonder if I could get some suggestions. I'm trying to find an awesome gift for my son (Ray he's on this site often). He has mentioned a new Garmin but a single mom of 5 boys i have a hard time justifying paying $700 for new tracking system and if I did that would be his only gift. Maybe someone could make a suggestion. I work at a fab shop and already have a dog box in the works but won't be ready anytime soon. Thanks for the help. Amber 936-445-0410 aallen@ameritexllc.com

Not sure why my post keep disappearing but I will try this one last time. I have a female pit/bulldog 7 weeks old that I am giving away free. When I picked her and her brother up I heard him saying that they were hunting dogs. He said that the momma was a rcd. I wanted to post her here first before I put her on craigslist. If your interested let me know and I can send pictures if you like. My number is 936-445-0410. I'm in Montgomery. Or you can email me at amberallen2006@yahoo.com or at my work aallen@ameritexllc.com. Thanks, Amber Allen 936-445-0410
