Howdy all, I realize that Texas has the largest # of wild hogs in the CONUS ....
I came upon this cool website:

with some cool pics....



Any of you's use your Dogfather on a Hog yet? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Just wood for me. The Yard Hook would surely kill hogs well though <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Man that is a hog. I saw that thing on the trail, I would be packing hard in the opposite direction. We just have the "Collared Peccary" aka the Javelina out here in AZ. There are pretty neat creatures. I ran in to a family of them hiking one time. The little suckers can climb like nobody's business. I saw the whole family of them climb the side of a steep hill in seconds.

Yeah J33psr0ck,
I like that name "Peccary".... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

here's another fun filled weblink:

they sell thise videotape...

so dice,
u killed a Russian Boar with wood? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

I'd hope I would have my .300 Win Mag with me if I ran across that monster. The thought of hunting Boar with a spear sounds interesting (very popular in Germany back in the day). One would just need a trustworthy spear head <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> to attach to the spear.

[censored]... look at the size of that pig! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />
Look at them teeth... can you imagine getting chewed on by one? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" />

That's a lot of Bar-b-que sittin' there <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Lets see... I've killed wood with the dogfather, and my wife is a Russian minx... but I didn't kill her.

Cool site, I have heard stories about Javelina attatcking people but all of the one's I have seen don't want anything to do with you. That site mentions one lady who had pelvis injuries and other internal organ injuries. I suppose that's another good reason why I carry a pistol.

hehheh Dice,
I'll 'fess up here....I've not hunted much.....mostly fished (i likes smallmouth bass)..... i do love a good pulled pork sandwich....mebbe that's why i find pig hunting fascinating.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
Orwell's Animal Farm is one of the few books i remembered reading back in the day... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

That is a Hell Hog! I hunted wild hogs for years in the Georgia swamps, but I used a .44 Magnum, and no dogs were allowed where I was hunting. We have some big ones in Ga, too. Somebody killed one over 900 lbs near Tifton. They called it HogZilla. I hear that a movie is coming out about Hogzilla. Any of you ever see Razorback? One of my all time favorite B movies. I need a SYK boar spear!
