2/3/22 Hunt.

Cracker, I am convinced of two things. If any kind of catastrophe hits, there are two species that will survive. Wild hogs and Cock roaches. When Katrina hit they had a 25 ft. surge of water that went thru st. Barnard parish. 2 weeks later a buddy of mine called me to bring the dogs that there were hogs everywhere. His camp was swept away leaving just the slab. You could see a lot of camps that were swept off there foundations that were 500 yards and more that went down in the marsh.Anyway hogs survived. They will climb on floating debris, get in trees, whatever. I do think the storm will help disperse hogs in different areas as the hogs swim to different areas. I talked to a shrimp boat Captain who tried to ride it out in his shrimp boat. he tried to keep the bow to the waves and finally had to cut the boat loose. He drifted awhile and got hung up. when the water went down the boat was on dry ground and he was hung up on a powerline wire. He told me he saw all kind of animals packed on floating debris, alligators, hogs, coon, nutria. They might loose some young pigs but the majority of hogs will make it.
T dog, yes those kind of tusk will sure cut a dog up. One those hogs are usually smaller and faster then bigger hogs and my stupid dogs think they can manhandle them and they get busted up. That being said, I think the real dog killers are hogs with 2-3" tusks. when they stick a dog they usually puncture into the chest cavity. I have had far mor dogs killed by bigger tusk hogs then the smaller tusk.
I have 6 dogs right now on injured reserve. A couple were serious and the rest was mostly a lot of gashes but not life threatening.
