why not throwing spears? run up to it throw a spear or two hope one hits and let it bleed out while you put some more into him, i dunno but i wouldent have the balls or the spear to do it, what spear do you use?

I have used a spear, lol but how would you hunt boar with only a spear be so qucik hed by pass in and spear me!

Ok well you are probably gonnna need one more than one garmin but you will need
strike dogs to find your hog (hounds, curs)
bay dogs it bay it up (Most strike dogs do this already) (hounds, curs)
and catch dog(s) i prefer two but thats just me (pits, dogos, bulldogs, some curs, mastiffs etc)
You should have vest and collars for all of them on the strike and bay dogs a light bay vest that will hold up good or just a collar and on a catch dog a collar and catch vest
a first aid kit for both u and ur dogs
pedilite
a good sharp hunting knife
some hobbles
pm for more info

Hi,
I have heard a lot of good things about this guys vest his name is Larry owner of P&P vest? Just wanted to know what info you guys could give me on his vest.
Also this might sound impossible but im getting bored of knife hunting and honestly just wanted to know if people are thinking up of new ways to take down these suckers

dabutcher, you just said some big ones are stoped by 6 dogs so yes i mean i do use mastiffs on the bigger ones, beats having 6 dogs on one hog
kevin here is the reason having diffrent packs makes it better in diffrent situations
the black mouth and catahoula on the first ne just bay hard and the pit catches hard and for hogs 200-250 range they are the best
the bigger dog like the douge helps keep the bigger hogs under control like some of the 400-500 pounders we get every now and then the grayhound is fast enough to really get ahead of them and come up and bay and the mountain cur bays hard too so the douge knows right where to go
and last i use the dogo and girtty cat cause the cat gets the back leg and my dogo gets the front and can control most bad hogs and the plott pit is fast and bays hard and then helps everyone out so the hog dosent get the advantage.
I look at everything in science and for a diffrent outcome you need diffrent variables.

Oh boy another hater,
kevin please explain how i am full of it. I run him where i know big hogs are and no hes not a running catch dog. And I have enough experince kevin. More than enough to take the biggest hog down.
Still for those biger russian hogs i just dont think pits can take it i have seen big russian hogs go running with pits on their ear or even some bulldogs! With the bigger hogs mastiffs/great danes or any of the larger dogs is a must.

Belive it or not i run him in any weather, he does pull on a leash and hard but he knows where to find the bay i just let him out of the box and see a flash of red, 5 seconds later a squealing pig. They honeslty dont eat that much only as pups. Ill put soe pics up

Hi,
I know we always have our favorite teams of dogs to go hunting with like
for my regular hunting team its
Pit
Black Mouth Cur
Catahoula
Foe bigger hogs
douge de bourdex
grayhound
and mountain cur
 
and for real bad hogs its
Gritty caty
Dogo
And a plott pit cross that will bay his head off and catch
Whats yours?

Guys lets face it anywhere in Florida hog hunting is good, I live in Miami fl there was a stretch of land about 7 blocks that had an abandoned fenced it property and i had to go in and take out about 70 for the gov.
There is a bridge by my house right next to the Miami metro zoo in the city and there's a few big ones there. 
But if theres hogs and then theres dogs then you have a hunt , can catch what aint there

I have no idea what going on here at this point , boarninjas answer was good. but hey i think its nice to say "ya see this dog here, 8 year old 1 cut on him" it takes pride. my catch dog is 2 old i got a fine vest on him and you know what i just wanted to know how other people are fairing with their own dogs. I mean heck i know its dnagerous at 10 i saw a bulldog run into a group of hogs and never come out (in one pieace) i know what can happen was just curios to see how the rest of the forum fairs against the tusk and luck

I think some of you are getting the wrong message here, dub please put the statement where i said that your dogs are gonna die and getting shredded to pieces. Just wanted to know how long cd are lasting now a days, god i aint sharing stories on how this one go filleted or this one got cut here or there. And dub you aint the only one to get charged by a boar, heck ive been maimed a boar but i aint gonna put that up.

dub what the hell does this have to do with anything lol

you have the option from the manufacture for an xtra layer of kevlar

Check this out
this vest claims 100 percent tusk proof lol im just trying to get few other opinions, If id do get this i am for sure adding and extra layer of kevlar!

Hi,
lets face it how long does a catch dog last now a days i mean there are people selling finished catch dogs and some of us like to raise our own but lets face it how long does a good dog of any variety last. lol pretty soon we are going to need a mechanical catch dog

Hi,
some hunters have told me that they are using small dog to hunt and even catch dogs in teams of four.
like
Parsons Jack Russell terriers
Patterdail terriers
Jag terriers
etc etc
lol they say they all get on an appendage and pull and 4 of them catch! and according to the hunting club they are so quick they almost never get hit and when they do instead of getting cut they go flying get right back up and on em and can hot-trail! is this true? 

best catch vest?
best bay vest?

Getting a pampered pit puppy 3 month old from my freind,
is it worth getting a pit that has NO game blood in him WHAT So EVER and trying to teach him?

Lol there aint no rivers where I hunt, aint no water source depper than 2 ft , and well i dunno how a gator is supposed to be on my property inless than a 2 ft deep 10 fot wide pond

I am trust trying to find out how dogs that are all geared up die!
I run a vest that had 2 layers of a real good weave of kevlar a layer of viper cloth and two layers of 1,000 denir condura with polyfelt in the chest plate witha kevlar collar and chin pieace and leg flaps
I also run a 4 layer kevlar vest with 2 layers of condura that also comes with a collar and chin pieace and leg flaps and they both cover from the rump of the dog to the head!
HOW THE HELL CAN A DOG DIE WHILE WEARING THAT!
(ONE OF THE MANUFACTURS CLAIMS THE VEST IS 100% CUTTER PROOF!!!!!!!)
