Pig Hunting Successes?

[Hogskin]

Speck,

Got your e-mail, appreciate it.  I've hunted behind dogs a couple times but I've not experienced that kind of "hold-em down" hunting.  I worked my fat fanny off chasing those rascals and they were all big hogs at bay.  If they were 125lb. sows, I could see how what you described could happen, but I wouldn't like it.  

But as I said earlier, as long as it's legal, I'm not busting any cajones.

Regards,
Paul

Paul,

Glad you got the email.  My system's been acting a little strange.

Anyway, I'm with you.  The sows we got were about 150+.  Nice meat pigs.  As to working our butts off, we definitely did that.  Covered a lot of ground, maybe not quite as much as I'd cover in a public land hunt, but a lot.  

Got the hella poison oak on that trip too.  First time ever.

Bwht4x4,

  As a hunter who uses dogs to hunt hogs and other animals, I am NOT offended by your opposing viewpoint.  I am however offended by your labeling of dog hunters as "slobs".  Where do you get off making such a comment?  Why must you resort to name calling?  
    I would gladly discuss the merits of hunting hogs with dogs as sporting and the most effective means of management any time you feel up to it, but regardless, I would hope that you can keep things civil  and conduct yourself with maturity and professionalism.  
    By the way, upon what factual evidence do you base your opinion on?  Have you ever hunted hogs with dogs?  Have you ever trained a dog to hunt hogs?

     I don't understand what you mean by dog hunters are lazy slobs. I don't see how a lazy man could ever keep up with my dogs.whats fair about shooting a unsuspected animal from a long distance.
if you want to be fair go to a state were you can use a knife to kill them and go hand to hoof with a mean boar after all he only has a set of knives. I have done quite a bit of hog trapping in california,and its not illegal but does require a permit from df&g which allows you to remove them by any means ie. trapping spotlighting .  I was wondering if a guy uses his dogs on bear and they bay it up on the ground and are pulling hair.Is he a slob for shooting it at 10 yards or feet. In my opinion
a lazy slob would sit home and dream about hunting.
not taking care of a pack of dogs. As for the original topic the hunting has been great in my neck of the woods (santa cruz county) thanks to some excellent dog work
