Damn man that is a lot of dogs lost wooo wee damn!  That is were he hit my dog right behind the last rib on the tit line and ripped all the way to the stifle.  Had a tear in the body wall that hold the guts in but as far as I could see didnt touch the intestines thank God.  I think my other dog may have some messed up bones in his front end.

That hog is one you have to put one dog are maybe two loose baying and ball snatchers if he runs, he will stand his ground with them and give you a chance to shoot if you can sneak in .  I will take bulldogs also but he will have to be in a good area to my advantage for me to turn them loose again on him.  I kinda doubt that will happen cause we are playin on his feild his terms but if it is in a good area I will turn them loose on him somewere they are not going to get hung up are pinned down.  

Buddy I have not ran into the team of boars yet not that I know of anyway.  We do have bad boars that will run you threw sows and pigs to kick the dogs off of themselves had that happen a bunch but have not had to deal with a double team of bad boars yet I don't think.

I used to never carry a gun but these type of hogs changed my mind. If the dogs get beat down the hog is still going down if the oppurtunity is there.

IMPRESSIVE!  Also could have been a pair of boars working as a team.  Starting to see more of that these days ---- 2,3,4 even 5 hogs running like deer and working the dogs over and never baying in one place more than 5 minutes at a time....  You will catch him or them having a bad day and get em sooner or later

I have heard a few bad stories of boars working together like this. One was a boar and barr team. Bad deals all the way around.

I do believe that you've got he right idea seems to me hogdogs. Obviously this hog is wise and has little fear of a pack of dogs. I don't use a bulldog, just didn't start that way and doubt that I ever will, but, I do understand you guys that do. Let me suggest a plan that you might consider: Go without the bulldogs, and take plenty of bay dog help. If you can get on this old boy, let part of your dogs on him at first, if he's like the ones we have here, he has, as you stated, a route that he will run and a plan to lose the dogs. We have run several that when jumped fight for a bit then take a tour of the territory, may be a big tour too, but when they don't shake the dogs, they return to almost the spot where you got the race started and make their stand. Sounds like this hog did something like that,.... this you can use, if you can get close or in front of him on this big race, put more fresh dogs on him and pick up any that have dropped out of the race. When he does make his stand......slip in....but ONLY from downwind and shoot him the first chance you have....we have done that several times and it works more often that not. Just somethting more for you to consider if you want.....good luck on him and send us some pics when you put a bullet in his head.

You know I been thinking ever since this happened and one thing is bothering me big time and it is this.

When we got in there on him within 20 yards I never smelled the boar hog most the time the smell will knock you out am wondering if it was not a big bad barr hog.

We do not see many barr hogs around here I have killed one in ten years and I dont remember him having any smell 267 lbs three inch tusk so I got a question for you guys that have a lot of experince with barr hogs do they smell as bad a big bad boar hog does ??

Am a gun hunter myself I would rather shoot than catch I know a lot dont like to do that but I do .  I just been running bulldogs here latly to slow down all the running ahahhaahahahah but that didnt seem to help this time.  I had thought the same thing as you have a fresh set of dogs in the waiting cause he shook my Horn, Whitey and Smokey dog which Smokey was hurt pretty bad the other two I giess he just lost them Cory and Kyle had to find them and pick them up I had to leave to tend to ole Blue  .  

Also you are right he was making circles and when it all ended he was on his way back to were it all started when I picked ole Blu up .

A Barr has no more smell to it than a sow  from what I can tell.

[TexasHogDogs]

Thats what I thought.  Well then this must have been a big ole pissed off Barr!

I dont know if that is good are not ahahahahahhahahah. I just cant believe he ran like that damn man unreal .

[CRD]

We have alot of barrs around where I live. Some of them have no run or fight in them, some of them have alot of fight and very lil run, and some of them have both. I think most of them that run and fight have been caught with dogs before and Remember what happened the first time they were caught with dogs. It just depends on the hog. I bayed a Barr last year that would not  run at all. He was standing in the middle of a road and the dogs were in the thicket. Every time a dog would come out he'd just run over them. He broke every rib in my old gyp and killed her. And bars don't have boar hog smell they smell like sows.

[SCHitemHard]

Golly! i love gettin on here to hear stories bout this, thats a helluva hog!

your gonna need a riddick dog if your not careful 

[TexasHogDogs]

ahahahahahahah I wonder if I could call'em up and get some help maybe we could catch this one on film with out the cut out of anything ahahhaahahahah!  I promise you one thing Reddick could not have gotten in that thickett he was in if he did his big ass would have been in the worst bind he has ever been in and momma would have been cryin on natl TV.  ahahahah Good one man ahahahahahahah

Some of those big boars are incredible smart.  We had one that wiped out a professional hunter's pack that the National Park Service shipped over from Hawaii to California.  The boar would get a big pack of bay dogs all baying him and back up into a downed tree, dirt bank, tree trunk, and then act all settled down to get the dogs over confident and then the dogs would close in the bay right off his nose.  He would then jump clean over the bunch and land 10 feet out running.  The next part was his deadly trick.  He would only go 100 feet, turn and go for the first soft belly of a dog that came his way. 

My nephew watched him do this from the top of a canyon, too far for his handgun to shoot.  We eventually got him in a steep sided creek bottom where he had no room to manuever like he was used to.  He had his ears chewed off years ago down to the skull, tail long gone and scar tissue all over his back end and neck, most likely done when he was younger.  He was near 300 without a scale, maybe 350, with 3" cutters.  The crazy thing was he was pure white, but time and dirt made him look yellow.

Buddy,

Years ago there used to be baying contest in Lane City, Texas and they kept a big white boar for baying competition. This hog would stand still and act uninterested and then when the dog lowered his gaurd he would make his move and get the dog in a main artery and he killed several dogs and disabled many. It got to the point that everyone who drew this hog would pass on him or would scratch the dog.

It is my opinion that big boars know instinctively where to cut and slash to do the most damage.

I came acrossone big boar that cut my whole pack down in 15 minutes and crippled one dog. This hog had killed other hunters dog previously.

I saw 3 piney woods rooters kill a cur and retire another.  Not one hog was over 150 lbs, and no teeth were visible.  Both dogs caught one hog and the other 2 hogs cut their bellies out.
