Good pics Clint Had groups rally on us quite a few times... always wondered how far they would really go if we all just sat still and held the dogs... can be un-nerving seeing a tidal wave of swine rolling down on you!  Now a boarhog is a different story... I hear a single hog breaking brush towards us... I start lookin' for a tree!! Go up a tree?  I thought I just read recently that you are scared of no man or animal? Brother..... there's a big difference in bein brave and just bein' plain out stupid.... Had it happen to me enough to know when you're tying a squealing pig up and you hear brush breakin'.... best get out the way till the dust clears...  I know that for sure....Just messin with ya |

I have been sitting on a few in my time when a hog has came to rally. My most memorable experience happens to involve a big boar that almost got me while I was tying a good sow one morning. A puppy we had with us stayed with me and continued to bay while I tied the sow. I heard something coming through the woods behind me and figured it was a dog. I waited till it was closer and turned around to start scolding when I seen this big boar practically on top of me! I dove off of the sow and scrambled to a tree. That pup must have saved my bacon because he never touched me even though he was right on top of me when I dove! The pup left with the boar and the sow with my tie rope hanging off of her leg. We caught her later that morning tie rope and all, but never caught the boar.
I have seen all sizes come to rally when the dogs were bayed. I watched shoalt no more than 50 lbs knock my cousin off his feet one morning coming to rally. He will tell you it weighed 150 if you ask him though!
You can bet that I look over my shoulder now a days when Im by myself tying a hog!

When I am tying or dragging a live hog I always try to keep a dog nearby. I caught a good boar hog about 125# 's on a pond island one night. After he was caught the guys with me put all the dogs on a lead and walked them back to the truck. I thought with all the commotion every hog around was gone. We start to drag the hog back to the truck and get about 100 yds. and his MUCH bigger buddy comes blowing and crashing through the sawgrass to help his buddy out. Luckily after his few bluffs and me yelling many curse words. He decided he did not want to go mano e mano with us |

We went one night to a spot we had never been , they said noone had ever hunted it with dogs. The dogs caught a shoat in the middle of a little thick spot, I got to them and was tying the shoat and it was squealing the whole time. I heard something come crashing through the woods right in front of me and figured it was a dog, well it was about a 250lb sow and she ran right through me. Knocked me off the shoat and she was highly mad, about the time I got back to my feet and was looking for a good tree, the dogs got back over there and caught her..

Have seen several rallies. Ya'll are right it is nothing like it. A big group will send some pretty good dogs back to your feet. I think it is becoming a thing of the past though with the hogs getting wilder. Heck I can't hardly even get one hog to bay up longer than a few minutes anymore.
