Title: need some advice Post by: junebug on March 08, 2013, 10:40:37 pm My dad has decided that he wants me to take him to the woods tomorrow and see if we can catch a pig or two. The problem is that my dad has never run dogs before and i am not so sure he could get me out of a bind. He is in good shape and everything it is not that he is not capable just does not have enough knowlege of the sport to be reliable. So the question is do i take him on a sure enough hunt and risk catching a decent pig and my old man not wanting to get in there and help pull dogs. Or take him for a walk in the woods. Would really like my dad to start hunting along with me but it would just be him and i tomorrow none of my usual hunting buddies what do i do.

U can bet if he is able when it comes to the short hairs he will do what he needs to do to ensure u don't get hurt. Plenty of dogs and a seriouse walk thru of what the catch usually entails. Also make sure he understands to do what u say when u say while not getting in an uncontrolled hurry.

Title: Re: need some advice Post by: tnhillbilly on March 09, 2013, 03:43:03 am TAKE HIM!!!!! kinda puzzled at the question. Ive always mostly hunted by myself on foot in the mtns, catch and tie. Would have loved to have an extra hand a few times. Even if its just holding a dog or something.
Your OLD man might just surprise you. ;-) Title: Re: need some advice Post by: Reuben on March 09, 2013, 05:45:40 am hell take him huntin boy . it's just hog huntin , even girls can do it lol i'm sure he'll be allright when the time comes to catch . you gonna stick um or tie um ? x2...if you are worried then just stick the boar hog if it is over 125 pounds...

Your'e overthinking it. It's your Dad. If he want's to go then by golly take him. Latter in life there might come a time where you wish you would have taken him hog hunting and many other things. Title: Re: need some advice Post by: justincorbell on March 09, 2013, 10:29:43 am I agree, hell when I bring new people I try like hell to put em on a big hog, its just hog huntin and at one point in time every single one of us was in your dads position going for the first time, 90% of the people I have brought jump right in and follow directions at the bay.......... I'd be happy as a hog on slop if my dad wanted to go with me!

We hunt out of the truck though. If it gets hairy, they just stay in truck. Take the ol fart.
