Here lately about half the hogs I put in my pen are dieing. The ones that are chewed up I understand but tuesday I caught a 225 boar
with a curr dog. He didnt have a scratch on him. Sure he got a little hot, but so did I. I put him in my pen with 3 other hogs and the next day he's dead. I have a good pen too. Its set in the woods with lots of cover so they shouldnt be too stressed.
Does anyone have any good tips to keep em healthy?

I don't know about wild hogs, but I have dealt with LOTS of stressed out show hogs when the processor (a buddy of mine) load them up on a stock trailer. What we have found works best is get them somewhere quiet and cool ASAP and don't fool with them at all. Also, domestic hogs will kill a stressing out hog. Seriously, we watched a couple do it.

We have the same problem in the summer. Seems that once they stress out, they are done for. The small ones seem to make it better than the big ones at our house.

Every hog we catch that is in water will die within 2-5 days. Have not had a problem with ones caught on dry land.
