That is a GREAT looking set of puppies!  If they hunt half as good as they look you'll be in business!

I've never had connection issues that I couldn't solve by removing collar and re-adding it in the field.  Well today I was never able to connect w one of my TT15 collars.  I tried a handful of times to remove and reconnect and that never worked.  I didn't have any connection problems with any other collars.  Anyone have any ideas?  I appreciate the help. 

That last one is a wall hanger!!  They are all smiling ear to ear!! 
Nothing better than chasing hogs and dogs in the woods with the kids. 

Very impressive hog!  He is a Stud

Yes sir... that's the Devastator made by WildBoarUSA. Best vest on the market in my opinion, this will be the 4th one I've owned. Very lightweight for use during the summer months and doesn't weigh the dog down in the water.

2nd that!!!

Good for you! A lot of passion and work goes into what you do with those dogs.

Trophy boar!!  Especially with those big ole teeth!!

What a GREAT set of dogs too!!  The time, effort, and work you have put into that line is amazing. 

Well worth the posting ,how big was he?

Thank you Sir.  I would guess around 300 lbs.  Maybe a little more maybe a little less.  I am not great at guessing weight.  I always undershoot when I do.  He was solid for sure. 

After it was all said and done I wish I would have drug him out of there and put him on a scale but a few of the dogs took a whoopin and I wanted to get them taken care of. 

Great story, that's an impressive boar, good looking dogs, really like the way that an looks. Is your male from The Garcia's too? They produce very nice ab's

Thank you Sir.  The AB in the picture is a Scott bred female dog I got from Rodney Spivey 3 years ago.  She is a good one.  So smart, well mannered, and can run all day long w no issues.  She got beat up pretty good.  We spent about an hour at the vet patching her up but she is doing better this morning.

I have pictures of the Garcia AB but for some reason the appl. wont let me post it.  I've tried 2 different pictures.  Ill try again today.  

2 years ago today I lost my Dad completely unexpected from a heart attack.  He was a great man and father and died too young at the age of 60.  So today I decided to get up and spend the morning in the woods.  I had hunt I won't soon forget.  I hunt alone a majority of the time these days which is fine by me.  If I am not alone then I have my 7 year old son tagging along and he loves it just as much if not more than me.  I hunt 2 cur dogs and an American Bulldog CD.  Not superstars by any means but we catch hogs and have fun!

This morning the dogs struck this track and took it the wrong direction for about 0.75 miles  I got them gathered up and casted them back in the same area.  The second time was the charm.  They took this boar about 0.75 miles the opposite direction and got him bayed up in some pasture on the edge of some trees.  Like I said earlier I have always hunted with only 1 CD.  But a year ago I got another American Bulldog pup from Britt Garcia.  She is about 11-12 months now and went on her first hunt about 2 weeks ago.  I had a new hunter with me this morning that has never been before so I decided to bring the young CD for some experience.  Luckily I had 2 CD's this morning.  My older CD Tink took a licking and did great.  My younger CD Trixie did good too on her second hunt in the woods with a pretty rank boar.  Thanks for reading...

I don’t post many pictures but I got one this morning worth posting.  I’ll have to type the write-up later on the computer. I can’t do all that on my phone.

SHE is a STUD for sure.  That's pretty neat. 

no male part and no titties.......do I win a prize? 

Awesome experience!  Awesome hunt!  ....and a good looking bear to top it off.  Nice work!

Did y'all hear the chicken wire first to burn off the galvanizing? If not did it change the taste of the meat?

Hey tmatt - no we did not.  That probably would have been a good idea. 

I don't feel like that changed the taste but I don't know for sure.  We didn't eat the skin.  The skin became very hard and crunchy as we cooked the hog.  It protected the meat and kept it very juicy. 

We built this homemade rotisserie from round pipe and square tubing. It has to be built in pieces that slide together so you can get your hog on the rotating pipe and pull him off after he is cooked. 

To prep the hog we first used alcohol and a pear burning torch to burn off all his hair.  We also used some large knives to scrape excess hair off after we burned.  We poured the alcohol on the hog and then burned the hair off using a back and forth motion.  We tried it once without using alcohol and it didn’t work as well so I would recommend using alcohol.  This method worked well for us and it’s a quick way to remove all the hair.

After the hog was scrapped we gutted him.  We then scrubbed him down with brush and water hose.  We washed him good inside and out.
We ran the round pipe through his rear and out his mouth.  We then wrapped him in chicken wire to keep him from falling apart when we rotated him.  We clamped the chicken wire to the round pipe.  The problem at this point is when you try to rotate the pipe the hog will not turn.  So we got a small piece of square tubing and tack welded it to the round pipe through the hog’s belly (see pics).  Then we made sure the chicken wire was tight and wrapped around the square tubing tight to hold the hog stable.  You have to do this to keep the hog stable and tight on the round pipe you will be rotating.

Once you have all that done you get him over the fire and start the cooking.  You will need a cooler of beer at this point because it’s a long process.   We built the fire first and let it burn down while we prep the hog.  Once you have all the coals ready you’re good to go.  We added charcoal and wood to the edge of the fire and once it burned down pushed it towards the middle to keep everything hot.  I rotated the hog about ever 5-15 minutes depending on heat.  I rotated about ¼ turns every time.  You don’t need to continuously rotate it.  That’s too much work.  We cooked the hog for about 6 hours. 

Once you are done put it on the table and knock that square tubing you tacked on off.  Pull the chicken wire off and pull the pipe out.  Pull off the skin (its hard like a this chip).  The meat will be falling off the bone.  We have some homemade BBQ sauce handy to dip the meat into.  We have cooked small boars and sows.  I feel like the small boars have been better eating.  The key is to rotate it a lot and cook it slow.  We have only done this a few times so we continue to figure out what works best. 

I did some looking online before we started for some ideas but I couldn’t find any good information.  So I wanted to share this for others in case they want to give it a try.  It works well for us.  Give it a try or if you have done something similar in the past post your pictures and what worked for you. 

Hey Parker this is very cool that y’all still do this nowadays.  I’ve heard stories from my Dad and uncle about doing this but I have never done it.  I would like to one of these days to show my son. 

We made rotisserie a few years ago and cooked some small hogs like that over an open fire.  Ill dig up some pictures and start another post about it.  Some turned out great and some were tuff.  It seems like the small boars (less than 100 lbs) are always better.  Or maybe it was just coincidence.  What’s your opinion on that?  Also, do you feel like the meat is any better certain times of the year?  When you’re keeping pork chops how do you chose what hog to keep the chops from when processing more than one? 

Good one Britt!!

My son, Graham, is 6 years old. He loves your show. We watch it all the time. He always says he will call in a coyote and shoot it before he turns 10.








He loves to hunt and shoot. He only watches the hunting channels and sports on tv. Keep up the good work!! We love your show!! If your ever around Ringgold, TX look us up.

Wild Boar USA.  Devastator or Guardian.  I currently use the Guardian vest's and will never buy anything different.  It has ultimate protection and bulldogs can still run/move great while wearing the vest.  The folks at Wild Boar USA are top notch and constantly improving their products.  Great cut vest's and great people.  It's money well spent.
