Thanks folks. If we were into mounting trophy boars we would have about 17 at the taxidermist just this year alone. We've probably caught 75 hogs this year but we usually just post pics of the exceptional or nice ones. Been alot of meat hogs put in the freezers though, we keep my parents, my son and his wife, my step daughter and her family, my freezer and my brother's freezer full of pork.

The dog is recovering and in about a month will be back in the game. My main track dog is Rhodesian Ridge X Doberman. She is totally silent until bayed, will catch small stuff alone but smart enough to back off and bay big stuff (she still gets the horn occasionally LOL). I also hunt 2 Pointer X Pit crosses and a BMC X Bulldog cross. MY brother's main track dog is English Pointer and he hunts Pointer X Bulldog crosses also. We use a bulldog for extra assurance on big stuff that it gets caught. My brother just bought a pointer/bulldog/hound he is trying. Around here we hunt 100-500 acre tracts of land and we have a medium range, hot nosed, rough dog to slip up on the hogs, stop them fast and stay off surrounding posted land. We have alot of hogs so that is not a problem finding them. We don't hunt all day or all night so we don't hunt real rangey dogs that will go a mile just looking for a track, we hit places fast and hard kamakazee style and either get one or don't hit a fresh track and back home in 2-3 hours. There are all types of ways to hunt hogs with dogs and depending on the size of the land you have to hunt, the density of the hogs, how you like to hunt and accessability of the land you have to adapt to a style that fits it.

Cuffs help secure a big hog fast as they are alot faster than trying to tie a kicking, struggling strong boar hog. They do have their drawback though as they will pinch the crap out of your hands when handling the hog and cut off the circulation in the legs sometimes if you are practicing catch and release. Until you grab a hold of a animal that weighs over 200 lbs. and has spent it's whole life wild rooting 3 foot deep holes, fighting off coyotes and other predators and fighting other boars, you don't realize how strong they are. Add to the fact that they have 4 razor sharp daggers they are trying to disembowel you with and it makes it even more exciting. It ain't for the faint of heart, those light in the britches, and those who can't keep up in the woods. LOL
