How do you deal with guest hunting with you?

[Tusk Hog]

   I invite guest to tag along with me quite a bit. The only thing I ask is NO Guns. I feel like once they have as much invested on the ground hunting as I have ( the dogs) then they may earn the right to carry. Only problem by the time they tag along a second time out comes the .45 auto or .41 glock and then want to argue when you tell them to leave it in the truck. I'm I the only to have this trouble? I always have to make the statement, If your scared stay home. The gun I carry is to protect the dogs if the situation goes bad. I can get up a tree. How do the rest of you handle guest?

I take guests a lot also. If they want to argue, tell them to get in their truck and go home.

I have packed up and gone home because the LAND OWNER wouldn't relinquish. He had ever right to carry on his land, and I had every right to go elsewhere. Needless to say, I was not invited back.

I sure as heck won't think twice about sending a guest packing.

I would tell em too that only one person carries a gun ,,, and that person is YOU,,not them. If they dont understand that u cant have everyone shootingfrom different angles in the heat of battle,,, gee, then i guess they need to hunt pigs on their own. Could you imagine it getin bad for one of your dogs, you shoot, your guests starts shootin,,, probably you and your dog are gonna get shot. Man, someone cant understand that has a personality disorder and just needs to stay home
Dont mean to ramble", but dang, i aint never hog hunted, just startin to research, and this is the best site by far,,, but if  someone was cordial enough to have me along for a pig sticking,, if they told me to sit at the other end of the field holding an empty sack calling "soo pig, sooey",,,,,, that's wat i'd be doin!

   Amokabs, I may have an extra burlap bag!  I've taken several I would have liked to have given a sack and left them in the woods. lol

[Greg W]

if they want to shoot over our dogs. we till them to sign a blank  check first 

[LionandBoarHunter]

i had a guy shoot one of my best dogs one time thru the top of the mouth with a 44 mag i beat the chit out of him and left him lay out in the pasture didnt even know he had a gun

[lamoon78]

If they are hunting with you and dont want to listen to you send them down the road.

[lonewolf]

I am the only one that's carries a gun with my dogs! If guest don't like the rules they will not hunt with me!

Hey buddy, if you"ll run a hog into it, I'll hold the bag!!

I have been the guest and never had anybody tell me not to bring a gun. I have not brought a gun only because I figure they know better than I do. I ask what to bring and bring it. I would say just be upfront and tell them nobody carries a gun unless you say so in advance. I would say there are so many ways to make people mad and not be invited back. Just tell them so they know then if they make you mad they did it with warning. If you did not tell them about something then tell them and give them a chance to get it right. But just make your rules clear. I am still trying to learn this hog hunting stuff and just need to know the do's and don'ts.

As far as guns I would bet money that I have had more training than 99% of hunters or cops. I would also bet that I am a better shot than 95% but I do not need to carry a gun. I do not even need to carry a knife if told not to. I do not want a bunch of guns around my dogs either. So if they need to carry a gun I would not want them to carry a gun either.

I do not carry a gun when hog huntin and neither will ANY of my guests.

  X2...it not up for discussion. NO GUNS except for the 30 30 that my husband carries for emergencies.

[BobbyB]

Peoples slay me. Go as a guest and wanna dictate what they will do?

I have been a guest a lot. I always do just as I am asked or told, case maybe.

Now, I dont even carry my knife, just a camera. I have shot a bunch of dogs with it, but it dont seem to bother them. 

[BarrNinja]

I take guests a lot also. If they want to argue, tell them to get in their truck and go home.

Its this simple.
Take my word for it! People that have never been around hog dogging will shoot your dogs in a hurry! I have heard entirely too many bad stories.

[cward]

I have never carried a gun hunting with me so if I don't carry one then my guest sure ain't!!
But I have been put in the situation several times!!If they don't like it then they don't hunt!!If I am on there ranch then I will just go home!!

[T-Bob Parker]

Simple, tell them that if he wants to carry tell him he has to pass this trust test,
1 You will be the shooter on the first hog.
 
2 He will sprint to the bay and bite the hogs ear then get thrashed around wildly
   You will then act super exited and breathe hard, huffing and panting and be a general spaz all while squeeling like a girl about how cool this is and      trying to aim a big freaking pistol in his direction

3 Squeeze off an overly exited round at the pig that he's still biting.

If the dude passes the test you should never allow him to hunt with you again on the grounds that he's probably crazy but definitely irresponsible  

[Purebreedcolt]

I carry when by my self and or own dogs but don't with other people.  The hogs don't need the bullet it was when we bayed up a mtn lion I wanted the gun lol.

Its that easy

[roughdog]

no guns on my hunts just a sticking knife keeps my dogs safe that way
