I'm visiting the USA from Australia in May and will be travelling with a mate who's a bit of a cowboy and wants to visit Fort Worth, so me being mad on hogs I want to try and squeeze in a day or two hunting while I'm in the area.
Any folks on this board within a couple hours of Fort Worth that we could roll with on a hunt?

Great lookin little fellers there Myles, all the best with them!

Nice lookin crew of dogs Myles...

Fine lookin dogs Myles.

I like the style of dog you're running, esp. the one in the bottom picture.

Got myself a couple of books sent out to Australia. Enjoyed the read, maybe one day I'll get to hunt with some Perry Dogs...

Anyone ever fooled with Ricky Barron bred catahoulas, or oes anyone have any info on them at all, Rhondas catahoulas also maybe??

Cheers.

I visited the USA last year. While at Uncle Earl's I was introduced to Mr. Orval as I love the American Cur Dog breeds and the Plott Hounds. Mr. Orval sat with myself and my friend for a couple of hours telling of his hounds and hunting hogs in general. I really appreciated such a respected man in the hog hunting world taking the time to talk with a couple of Australians.

RIP.

... That's funny!

Sounds like a fine week of hunting Troy. We'll have to hook up and make a few rounds.

Those are some very healthy looking hogs.  Do your pigs run a lot of do they seem to stand thier ground and bay/fight?

I speak a lot to American hunters, mostly from Al and Ms, and our pigs don't run anything like some of those big ol' hogs those guys get onto, but in some areas the pigs here are pretty slippery. Just depends on how much hunting pressure they are under, and also the numbers of wild dogs/dingos in the area. Generally, Aussie hunters don't catch and release so our pigs are not as dog/hunter savvy either.

Cheers.

Awesome pics and nice dogs too mate. Are you hunting N.S.W ? Im originally from Finley N.S.W. down by the VIC. border but i have lived here in the states bout 10 years now.

Yeah mate, NSW. Upper Hunter Valley/Liverpool Plains area.

What dogs do you run now?

Nice photo spread.  It'd be nice to visit Australia and bay some hogs.

I'd really like to get on one of them wooly mountain boars over there.

Thanks mate. I like to get into the mountain pigs, hard work but very rewarding.

Same boar from back Rough old mountain boar.


Some memorable pigs.
