Went this weekend with some friends and ended up killing 8 total, Killed a 300lb sow and this big boy sunday. Boar went 275 and cut up the black bulldog pretty good in the neck. Also cut a 10 month old yellow BMC in the hind flank, they will both be ok.

Dog-knife? Are the chaps cut resistant? And were the catch dogs wearing cut collars? I see the vests. What county? Nice cutters! I saw a herd of feral hogs (40 to 60) in Fairfield Co. last week, along US 75 about 8 miles north of Buffalo. I hit them with a HID light, watched them run across a pasture into the woods. I called the property owner but he has not called me back.

Nice boar. I hope your dogs get well soon so they can get out there again. I know my dogs think its fun chasing hogs and snip and move. Thats why they call them baydogs.

Usually we dont run anything on a CD but during the colder months we do, I find that the vest slow down the cds and gets tangled up in the briar thickets in the area we hunt. Had it happen 2 different times this week. The only dog that was caught was my lil gyp that didnt have a vest, Then had to fight the briars getting the other out. Also a vest will cause a CD to overheat twice as fast, and yes we had stroked out a bulldog in winter before.

Thanks! My BMC Red is part pit and he works hard. He weighs 65 lb. I worry about him because he tends to grab on to big hogs just after I've fired a round from a pistol. I put a vest on him to keep him warm when he's in a boat. He can't run long in a vest, but does fine in a collar.

I hope to have a dogo/pit soon. I'd like to catch and sell hogs, but I hunt on my own. I'm not sure I measure up to Barefoot Bob Richardson.

I see the three of y'all holding on to that 275 pounder, and I don't see how Dusty Kennedy and Clint Watson, bone thin, could hobble just any old hog.

It dosent take alot of guys or even big guy to work a big caught hog. I was flip'n and tieing 300 pounders when I was 14.

I doubt that would work on a big hog. I have hit big hogs at 50-60 mph with the snow plow of a 5000 hp train engine and watched them fly 100ft and get up and run off. Im sure they ended up dieing but it wasnt instant.
