guns or no guns? and why?

[Bcox]

Just wanted some takes on why some do carry and don't. And for the ones that don't. Do you atleast carry one for and emergency situation?

[boarhuntinfool]

I do not perfer to carry a gun the only time I will carry one is when I am hunting alone I think of my catchdog as my gun an that's all I need I won't hunt if a tag along wants to bring a gun to dangerous for my dogs an me.

[Florida Curdog]

I never needed a gun while doggin. Just a couple of catchy dogs & some muletape. I do carry a Case xx in my pocket 

[catchdog]

I carry a gun and had to use it the other day. We got on a boar around 300 with no ears. This boar had 4 of the 6 dogs cut down and out of the catch. So before losing any dog we shot him. All the dogs vested and Collard. They are doing good now just going to be a long recovery. 

[INABs]

No gun,  just a great catchdog and knife for me.   

[Jared H.]

I was with catchdog when we got that ear less boar and if we hadn't had a gun our dogs would have got cut up even worse or maybe killed.  That's why we carry a gun just in case.  To those that don't what would you do in that situation or have you been in that situation before.  Not saying a gun is the only way or that my way is right and yours is not.  Just wondering what else you could do.

[catchdog]

I have great catch dogs.

[kevin]

I sometimes have a gun, it just depends on what I'm doing.  If I'm hunting with you I trust you to shoot around my dogs.  

  Jet, if I don't have a gun and a hog is whooping the dogs, I'll either grab the hog myself or call the dogs off.

[catchdog]

My dogs wont call off. After I catch  the pig I can but not before. And trust me I will jump on a hog when most wont.

[jesse]

jet i have caught many big boars with no ears .we run  one cd that wount get any wear but  the nose i know that its not a good place to be but i have hunted this dog for five years ben cut maybay three times in the years i have hunted her

[TColt]

Just the cd's, somethin to tie with, and a case. Girlfriends been bringing her new blade along lately though ! Always have a least a pistol in the truck though, never used it on a hog yet, hopin I never have to. Savin those rounds for other types of emergencies.

Only thing you can do is slip around behind em & grab his tail if he has one. Works good at night if you have a buddy to shine a light in his eyes.

Shooting works good too I guess. I have never shot over or around my dogs before.

[redtick23]

we carry one pistol just in case but we rope earless hogs with muletape works great learned to do that when the only cd we had got killed one night

[AnthonyB]

I carry a hand gun at all times just in case, have used it less than a handfull of times. On a big boar that had already cut everything up, when I just took the baydogs, and whenever the baydogs bay up a pack. Have used it before too when I was lazy and didn't feel like going swimming.

i carry a 44mag , its like four wheel drive its there if u need it.iv shot 3 times in 9 yrs. my dad always told me hunt smart and take yur time.

[TX HOG]

purses and guns stay at the house

[Jared H.]

Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.  I carry a few things I might not need but if I do they come in handy. Sometimes even carry a backpack full of stuff I might not need.  Maybe this is what Tx Hog meant by my purse.  

[johnf]

i carry 22mag shot 2 hogs in 3 or 4 years.1 had no dogs on it the other was fixin to get me.1 dog left bayin already whipped 3....catch dog was 2o min.away.i carry just for those freak things that happen.

[5150hogdogs]

NO GUNS !!!!!!!! Why would you ever bring a gun to a knife fight I've been charged with the hog chompin at my nuts I mean it's a rush when you hear the cutters and witters slapin together lol all I carry is some hobbles a knife and a big ass catchdog and that's all I need if the hog don't have ears my dog will catch else where cause that's what he is A CATCHDOG!!!!!!
