Wild Hogs

[J. T.]

Speaking of dogs on hogs, I once knew of a large Decker type Rat Terrier that killed a 60 lb. hog. I think the dog was a 35-40 pounder. Love them Rat dogs!

That would be the way go, but there is several pastures close to mine that don't want any dogs on their land, so the dogs are out. Already thought of that one.

Dogs mostly just run them onto other people's property. If I hear a bunch of baying across the river, it is a hog night. They'll all be run onto me.

Best to trap them out as best you can, then bring in the boys with the dogs. They'll catch the "trap smart" hogs.

I made the mistake a couple of years ago of bringing on the "boys with the dogs". We had clear ground rules set as to where they could and could not go, and them sob's damaged more than the hogs did. 4 wheelers running all over my set pines, tearing down fences with their trucks, etc. I asked them to leave and they started threatening me.... so the sheriff escorted a couple of them to jail and the rest off of the property. It's a shame that some hunters like this ruin it for the rest of them. I'll never have another hog hunter back on my property again.
