Mule tape

[joshlvg]

Great video  now do you use 2 ropes one for each set of legs?

[weller44]

Yes sir..2 rope = 1 set of tie strings

You can tie this way with almost any kind of rope...i prefer the mule tape because it is easiest to un-tie, and doesn't cut off the circulation  as bad. you can buy it in bulk of ebay/amazon for like $24

I tied all of these boars were tied that same way with different ropes

The other thing I like about tying the way weller showed is you can make one small cut with a pocket knife and the mule tape will lossen and the hog can walk away when you are releasing.  I dont like having a knot on every let when it comes to releasing.

If you are using mule tape and tie it the way i showed you shouldn't need to make any cuts

I do the same a weeler but go around both feet twicefor good measure never had one come out.  One thing about mule tape it is good to cut lengths then burn each end then run through washer a time or 2 to get the wax or oil what ever they put on there to make it slick running through the pipe.

Ive used it for years.  All i do is put a bow line in one end run the line through the loop so its a slip knot.  Put that around the back ankle the pull the front foot to the rear and put a clove hitch around the front, pull the the other rear leg and do the samet hen the other front etc.

Exactly how I tie. Now if I am by myself, I use a pieces about 6" long & I have it over my wrist. When I leg the hog, I slip the noose end over the back leg, & half hitch the other back leg & tie him off to a tree. Then I get the dogs off & tie up the front end.

  A really big hog can break hay string, even doubled.

I tied a big male in the sabine river bottoms by just one hind leg while I rushed around trying to find a mud hole to cool my bulldog off, when I got back to the hog, he had wrapped his leg around the sapling that his leg was tied to.  I mean literally wrapped his leg around it.  The bones in his leg were mush by the time I got back to him.  Wasn't any need to tie him after that, I just cut him loose and let him go.  I always tie both back legs now and tie them high enough that the hog can't get any traction, while I tie the dogs back.  I can still feel how mushy that ole boy's leg was.
