Tennessee boys learning new ways of hunting

[lil wasper]

    I have always bayed and shot hog until the past year me and some buddys got to hunting in LA now we catch and tie almost everything tons more fun and you get to run them again some day if you turn them loose

[SwampHunter]

That's a nice hog !! I like tying them the most

[lil wasper]

to me there is alot more sport in it them shooting them only time i shoot one now is if i hunt alone and bay a tush hog i dont take a bulldog when i hunt by myself but will still catch and tie one if my hounds can hold it

[AnotherRunner]

Catch and tie is the only way! Unless the hog has a broke leg or something like that, then ya stick it!

[justincorbell]

 it's funny to hear how different people started and methods of hunting em. When I started we caught EVERYTHING, hell for the first couple years we never took the gun out of the truck!............the last few months I have become lazy lol now I just as soon shoot em as catch em........we still catch em most of the time (mainly because the people that I hunt with want to) but if i'm by myself hunting I don't bring rope or a cd lol, just a good pistol!

[lil wasper]

our small group is the only group in TN that catches them we figure every hog you tie and turn loose is another one left to run heck we dont have to kill them and rid them around on our dog box for them to count we still kill a few good boar hog but have been cutting them turning them loose as well hopefully in a few years we can catch some of them 400 plus pound barr hogs like i see on here

[warrent423]

Been livin here in McMinn county for 8 years now. Haven't met but "one" group besides myself, that actually "catch" hogs.

[lil wasper]

i live in cumberland co.  what do you all use to catch with

[warrent423]

I hunt a few small farms around Catoosa quite a bit. I run two rough, stock bred curs. These are close range dogs that will wind, find, stop, and hold when told there own hog.

[lil wasper]

do you catch and tie them or just kill them ?

[warrent423]

If you catch any barrs with a quarter size circle in there top right ear, they'd be mine

[easttexasoutlaw33]

Whats the name of that big white catch dog?

[SwampHunter]

cumberland not far from sparta right ? thats where they got a big hunting operation they catch some monsters seen it online somewhere

[lil wasper]

I like the Walker and Bluetick combo. Bluetick cold nosed strike and Walker to locate it once it heats up? Bluetick Rough? Are they open or tight mouth? Nice looking pack. Congrats on the nice hog.

[Easttex91]

Pretty blue tick

[lil wasper]

the bluetick is half walker hes a pretty nice hound 28 months old cold nosed and 100 percent accurate strike dog hes really tight mouthed on a track gritty but not dumb seems like he will catch one by the ass then back up when it stops i bought him as a pup off a boy in washington i cant track the guy down now or i would buy a whole litter of the same cross hes been a strike hog dog since he was 9 months old and pretty dang good on bear as well hoping to breed him soon

I have a pit that I use as a CD and my currs will all pile on when she gets there, I use her when I hunt with other people and sometimes I even run her as a rcd, she is hog crazy and winds off my buggy just like my currs, she is a good little dog. I just don't care much for leading her (or any dog for that matter)around if I'm by myself.
