Free tippin'

We hardly ever have a catchdog with us unless we are track hunting and we turn loose on a big track. Our dogs will get catchy at times but for the most part will bay. We have caught alot of hogs with no dogs caught, and have tried to catch quite a few more who weren't having it. It's all about timing and you'll get tree'd alot but he'll slip up. Alot of our hogs will stand though pretty good.

We bayed a big Barr with only two dogs one night in a open sandy patch and the hog was having no part of me slipping up behind him, and there was no trees to get up so after I fought with him for thirty minutes and got slung around alil, we went and got a ol bulldog to finish the job. Another big blue boar we tried catching, well he ended up baying under some brush and he shot out as we were figuring what to do, and my uncle caught him by the ears and it picked him up and sliced a pair of rubber boots from the ankle up to the knee. That woulda been a bad wreck to say the least. Now I've had sows tree me like a dog trees a coon and reach up and grab my pants leg and pull me outta the tree and work on me alil before I could get her kicked off.

Another truck I seen, a spot light with the strobe feature, you can put it on strobe and shine a hogs eye and it seems to confuse em alil, and you can ease right up to em. Neat a trick as I ever saw, never believed it til I tried it. Doesn't work all the time but it works enough to make me a believer.
