EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Season Premiere on now! Anyone watchin? lol

Ya he lost his alimony pipe

yeah they let one get away. and i think they are the only ones i have ever seen that run vest on a whole pack of walkers

Never seen a hog bayed in a jeep!

Never heard the hogs before the dogs lol makes me laugh

The hog in the jeep was funny.

I don't know what I hate worse, how fake it is, the fact that they know it;s fake and profit off of it (which, who can blame them I guess) or the fact that some people out there watching it believe it's real.

I can't knock em as far as the vest go. Much better for the average hog dogger when they are on camera with every dog vested doing everything they can to protect the dogs.

Their definition of big hog and mine are like the difference between day and night lmao

I was just about to turn this garbage off after listening to those women bicker.. Then they showed a big bald headed fella that looks to be on this episode.. If he's from Florida it looks just like the guy who sold me a NALC finished dog.. Who ain't worth a lick..

X2

Sure looked like Florida.

X2

The hogs squeal before the dogs even have them bayed up and cought wow come on really but the girls and old man make the show. Get a good kick out of the old man a canon really lol

 I don't want to bash them but that show gives me a headache because the scenes change so fast like boom one second people running boom dogs baying boom people yelling its just chaos almost lol but then again its the only show that has dogs hunting hogs every week

X2 on the garbage!!! Seen the same little black hog at least 3 times!!!

Well its a Cable tv show folks. If you get that channel then chances are you get at least a hundred other ones too.

Y'all sound like women being forced to watch a porno. Lol
 ;D :D :laugh: :laugh:

X2 that's funny right there it's tv folks it ain't gonna be real! It just kinda gets me down in the dumps cause now I think everything on swamp people is fake and that Use to be my favorite show lol

I got to were I dont even pay it no mind no more.  If its there when I flip threw the channels might watch it might not.

just saw it 4 the 1st time 2 day  wut a load of number 2 lol.

my kids love it, and they to notice the fake stuff

yea its fake but its better than alot the other crap on TV. I would rather my childeren watch it than most anything else

I would say some of it is staged the rivalries and the drama stuff. Other parts I feel are real. The pig running under the horse was real and the emotion from lea was real. The pig was in the jeep and so was the dog. Just like any other reality show there are real moments and emotion at times but they also have the staged stuff that results in some of the real stuff. U have to watch it for what it is. A SHOW.

The pigs squealing before the dogs open and that same locator bark every time is added later for more excitement for the general public. As far as seeing the same footage in places when it is suppose to be different pigs well. Get u a camera and try to film every aspect of the hunt from start to finish. I bet u don't end up with all the footage.

Agree 100%, its better than sex, violence n homosexualality pushed on the tv nowdays

Amen

Lots of it is due to poor editing I think. I agree, alot is certainly staged but....there have been some things I'm pretty sure are legit. Ol' Jerrys got an e-bay addiction now, lol. Poor guy can hardly even walk now looks like.

Yeah Leah was surely bona fide upset when she saw her horse almost get cut up. I'd have been peeved too.

They are takin it a lil extreme on the Creek guy sweating Jerry so much though. I bout died when he was in that barn shootin, and then you see this lil shoat released on the other side take off runnin....

All in all, it's entertainment like others said. I don't feel they make the sport look too bad or anything, so I'll keep watchin.

animal planet will be airing the hunt they came here to tyler tx and did with us in may what i found confusing is the brush they were in they thought was thick i dont think they ever hunted east texas and know what thick is, but i guess alot of what they do is fake but it makes good tv the hunt that will be airing in may is not fake the only problem is they only had time for one hog and it was a 100lb sow soaking wet, but its all legit she was buried up in devils barb wire and downed dead trees it was fun pulling her out, but i hope it atleast represents what we go through in east texas to get these hogs and how hard it really is.

Its not real....its all staged. They are precaught...turned out hogs...a lot of times spray painted....thats fact!! . The drama is staged, the hogs are typically the same hogs.

Guess it really doesnt make the sport look bad....but it is hard to watch knowing what they do.  It is a little entertaining on how dumb they look to people that actually do this

I love the show! Pure Entertainment, lol.

Sure there are A LOT of uh......stretches....twists....whatever, lol. But I just watch it for what it is....a t.v. series. That I get enjoyment out of...lol.

One thing...for all the haters.....and im just kinda spitballing here.... But....with this show on the air.....do the odds of our sport being outlawed increase or decrease? Just something to think about. Lol

I thinks it's funny how their camera man is the best strike dog they have lol! Seems everytime they find a hog the camera man is right on its heels then the dogs come out of nowhere.

1-strike camera man
5- help dogs  >:D

But can't hate em to much, they are making a living hog hunting (kinda). Plus they are getting alot of people that thought hog hunting was cruel a different view of hogs and the damage they do.

i aint trynna knock them either because i watch it alot to but the other day i watched one they showed the hog before the dogs even got to it a one eared hog that you could clearly tell had been caught by a bulldog not long before and on the other side of his head looked like he had cut n' heal sprayed on it

 Lmao! For me, its more like watching the home team getting their butts kicked on homecoming night.

 They are a part of the community, so you want to support them and cheer them on..... but sometime its painful to watch.

 Its mostly due to poor editing. The old man cracks me up. The made up story line is sort of lame. But it is one of the better things on TV at the moment. But they are hunters like us so they need our support because they sure as heck aint gonna get it from the tree huggers.

I hate the show for the simple fact they make hog hunters look ..........STUPID

They did a lot of filming here in Albany and i had two nights of talking and some beer drinking with Mr. Creek. I enjoyed the conversation and hope to get to do some hunting with them in the future! As for the show, It is what it is..A TV show! It gets a little goofy at times but i dont think has done any harm to the sport.

I do wish someone would come out with a real HUNTING show with dogs!

They want entertainment for the whole country and just a regular hunting show ain't gonna cut it with the folks up north

The he!! With them northn yanks

Lea is the best part of the show. 

Is she the Campbell girl? If so then yes she's fine

Lea is Krystal Campbell's friend

X2

We all have to remember the show is for TV, even tho it is ridiculous and far fetched most of the time....I would however like to take the girls hunting, looks like they're better hands than most guys...lol

Crystals the 1 I like I think she'd have the hots for me If we ever met

It's like wiping your a$$ with a hola hoop there's no end to it hahahaha :D that old mans talking cracks me up. It's a cool show but just like some of y'all say wish it was more realistic and less dramatic.

Way too staged for me.......the dogs never get in the woods and bay a hog, every hog they show runnin in the field, and what's up with the sound every time they get on a hog? That's very annoying!!

Do you think they read these post and think "Damn, we've sold out" or do they think "Haha B!tche5! We're rich!"?  ;D

Someone please contact the producers and tell them that they don't have to dub in horses nickering every time they are on camera, hogs squealing every time they are on camera, and dogs whinning and barking every time they are on camera...... its very annoying!  >:(

Hahahahahahahahhaaaaaa
Exactly.

I don't know the Campbell's but I am friends with Krystal on Facebook and she is just as country as most ov the people in here.. She also catches some nice hogs herself and she is not rich by any means. I am a fan of the show just because I love the sport. We all know its fake but its better than most stuff on tv

Yup, you are right on there fella

 If I remember right 150 a day I think for filming. That is not much at all.

I know a guy whose land they went on and he said they brought 10 pigs out and released them right beside the hogs and they still only caught 7 of them. Worst hog hunters in texas both them and the creek boys are jokes lol

HUH... ITS TV! I WENT HUNTING LAST NIGHT WITH THE CREEK BOYS, WE CAUGHT 2 BOARS IN A FEW HOURS AND I CAN SAY THEY ARE NOT JOKES! THEY ARE SUPER NICE GUYS WITH VERY GOOD DOGS.

If u think that tv show represents those hunters in true fashion and is a representation of actusl hog hunting, u r gravely mistakin. Iv hunted with randy n ronnie on numerous occassions and they are by no means a joke, nor are their dogs. ITS TV, its not suppose to be mimiced to true hunting.

I think everybody that knocks em is just jealous let bygons be bygons.  I don't see anybodyelse putting on a show.  That's all it is a show don't like it don't watch it.  TV is just corrupted any way,  my kids will hunt or fish if there bored we haven't had cable in over two years couldn't be happier.

I hunt with the Creek guys all the time. Codys dogs are very good currs, Shep has a pack of Plotts and running catch dogs anyone would die to have, and Randys 3rd string of dogs are prob better than 90 % of everyone elses. In fact they entered several of the larger hog hunting contest this spring and competed well in all of them they placed in some I know. Trust me guys they knew the punches were going to be thrown at them but they are having fun and if I had to pick some guys out to make a show that didn't care what people would say then they would be my pick. They are all around great hunters and not just dog hunters.

Honestly I didn't like The Creek boys attitudes last season they were kinda cocky when it came to beating the Campbell's, but you can watch there dogs work and tell they have good dogs. It has already been said if you don't like it change the channel that's what your remote is for! Heck I wouldn't mind hunting with the Campbell's or the creek's

Easy turbo, i d tread lightly on the part of the comment of their 3 rd string being better than most people's dogs, judging by the places they hunt, a cull could look like a super star. Not knocking em just saying.... I'm sure their good ppl but no need to justify their dogs by claiming their 3 rd string are better than everyone else's.

I can tell ya that some of randy's cull r better than some folks dogs , mine for example, but i do agree that sayin 3rd string better than 90% of other folks dogs is a lil stretch unless he is referin to the other 3 creek team members. Just as with cthd, if u think what the show is representing to be the real deal of hog hunters n their dogs, u mite wanna lay off the reality tv shows. Sayin randys 3rd string is better than 90% of other folks dogs is a huge stretch, but sayin some folks culls can produce the product better in the land they r huntin in, well to wrongs dont make a rite. The area the last show was filmed in NOT portraied to be in, has produced some good size hogs n holds a good bit of them.

Charles , the last show was filmed at the ranch I got married at.
 I hunted with Randy a handful of times years back. I enjoyed it. That old dog he still has is a good one. I have hunted with Cody one time with a mutual friend.

If u say so. Im not gonna argue, but in the beginin when they were gearin up n rolled out down the rocky dirt road, they were at randys shop, left there, went 3-400yds down the road n then started "huntin". Randy n i hinted the other side of the creek where it was the openin hunt was filmed at, this past sat n randy called me a wk or so back n ask to me to cone help get a big hog outa the same creek where cody n ronnie were tiein the hog, when shep n randy stayed up top. That place is a rocks throw from where i live.  Yes, mondo (if thats the dog ur referin to" is 1 huntin machine.

Mondo , yeah that's him. Forgot his name.

They did show them leaving from Randy's shop, but a lot of the show was and is bits and clips edited together.  The majority was filmed at Tenroc...thats where the supposed "BIG HOG" that is eating the baby lambs resides.

Yep, i told the wife the same thing of the clipin n editing it. There was multiple clips of land near our houses. There were places i didnt reconize, so i assumed it was on the ranch, like the bridge over the creek, i figured it was on the ranch.

Yes 3rd string was a stretch but sometimes a point has to be blended in with the mentality of a conversation. If you want to talk Lacys you should talk to Ol Shep he's forgot more about Lacys and blood dogs than 90% of hunters and that is not a stretch. I want the big hog too!

I was not trying to misconstrue my comment to mean the show is a real representation of these men and their dogs. I know it's not..... I was simply stating in the given circumstances of what was portrayed as their land to hunt there was a herd and I mean herd of hogs run in front of them just trotting along, if that'd be the case then yes I do believe you could take some culls and do quite well there. Understanding the show isn't real and that's prob not the case I was just being facetious stating culls could catch hogs on that land. I do believe culls will produce better product in better conditions yes, don't you agree If there's more hogs the chances of the dogs having an opportunity to turn out into a better dog increases by some extent? Either way I'm sure the fellas are good ppl and have good dogs, hell I wouldn't mind hunting behind em and seeing their dogs work.

Yea I ve heard he's had some good blood dogs

That dog is a legend in my book

Seriously people, I'm gaining land to hunt because "hogs will eat you and everything you own". You seriously don't have to watch it, or comment on it. But take the opportunity to gain land

Mondo is not only a good dog but his offspring are as well. Almost everytime I hunt we hunt behind some of his babies and they are good. I can think of 5 dogs this year out of him that I have hunted behind and they get it from the time they first hit the ground. Any of these guys that think them boys dogs won't hunt I'd be glad to have your # so you can help catch them when my wife has been calling for hours to get home but were waiting on the dogs to come in!!

Hell cdc, id say lay a wager down. Id put a couple 1000 on mondo n a couple of his pups n put them up against some other dogs. Id also take a 5/1 wager.

...... I'm not sure I can even comment on this thread anymore after those posts. Lol

I just want to get there camera man as my lead strike dog. He finds more hogs then anyone on the whole show >:D!

BahahahahHaha me too! I ain't never heard such a grunting hogs in my life

Don't get me wrong. I believe that they have some amazing dogs but they should let it be more realistic IMO. I'm not gunna knock them down tho, heck they are doing what I wish I could. Hog huntin for a living and doing a great job apparently.

 lol we genrally refer to him as monGO!

Lol Eric! Remember last year when that SOB went around my high fence and 2 places over and bayed in that hole. Think it was the same day it snowed on us.

I dont know what funnier Ronnie Creekkkkkkkkkk Swelled up Head/Texas Legend and the song !

Are

Jerry's old Broke up butt hobbling around falling down on everything cussing raising hell and  still trying to be the Big Boss Man !

I bet if ole Jerry was a little younger ole Texas Legend Ronnie Creek would be in bind  !

I think the girls gottem both beat !

ya i remember ,got some real cool pics of the dogs in the snow. ithink thats the same time we sent 5 catch dogs to him and my job was just to get a leash on him .....lol good times

Hell ya that was it.

What is up with creek acting so crazy he makes me ashamed to be a hogdoger

Its called script acting. He aint like that person. Its REALITY TV, not a ng documentry

Similar to what happen when randy i went out 1 nite. Mondo had'em bayed, he sent sally in n the brush was thick for her to manuver, bay broke and 1hr later n 4 hogs, he finaly got mondo caught.

Ol Sally was a good one too.

  How long ago did he have this Sally dog ? Female pit right ?

Oh I don't know bout a year ago him and Shep swapped around her and Sue but Ol Sally went to hog heaven and another boy on here bought Sue.

I catch myself watching this show while flipping through the channels. Its so terrible....I have to  ;D....I guess $150 a day to film is worth the embarrassment to some. I understand they have to use precaught hogs to get footage but dang the story lines and fake acting and editing is getting extreme.

I bet the "500 lb Hog" Creek ends up finding is really 375 lbs and has one eye....  ;D

American Hoggers, Duck Dynasty, Storage Wars...they all getting so far fetched they are no longer entertaining

Thats why randy has been takin wilbur. I though wilbur was sally, didnt thonk to look at the tools down below. It was nov/dec of 2011 when we went n i "thought" it was sally, but it coulda been sue.

No Sue is a walker dog. Goatroper on here is the one that has her now.

Personally I don't know what it pays. And about the pig... We all know what is real and what isn't partner, it's a game some know better than others. I'm not worried about it I like watching the show just to see what kind of acting and story line comes up we're all hunters we know how the hog part works.

Bump I hope you didn't take that as me being a jerk I wasn't trying to be. We have a mutual friend (Bryant) and your dad has done several appraisals on houses I've built he is a really nice guy. Hopefully someday we can all get together and do some hunting.

idk the campbles.. but iv met ronnie creek and randy tate they are not a joke or fake. Iv also bought dofs from both. They catch hogs just like everyone else. There both good guys. They gave some pretty good dogs

No problem...everyone has their opinions. I was just commenting on how ridiculous this show and other similar ones have become. Im not doubting those guys are good people or may have a good dog or two. Ive never met them or hunted with them so I cannot make judgement.

It just crazy how goofy people will act to be on tv and a little bit of spare money. The girls are the worse. Im embarrassed for them. Im sure Ill be flipping through channels again and stop to see what happens....so I cant say too much.

Im sure people that duck hunt feel same about duck dynasty, alligator hunters on swamp people, storage buyers on storage wars....its all a bunch of terrible acting, tricky editing and ridiculous storylines...but it must keep many watching or it wouldnt be on any longer

"If anybody steps in hog manuuuuuuuuer....I'ma know about it" -JC

LMFAO!!!!!!!!

Its great entertainment my grandson loves the show.  These are not professional actors so let them have fun, the dogs work and the old man has some of the best lines that are his and not scripted.  City folk love it.

I think it is more for people that don,t hunt hogs.   Kids older people or just none hunters.  Those are people that enjoy.     I do gator hunt also and swamp people isn,t much fun for me to watch but Hog hunting is about all I think about so I do enjoy the shows.   

anyone know where the new girl team with crystal got that catchdog that feel off the hood?  I think Ringo was the bulldogs name.  Was wondering what line he's coming off.  Type looks familar to some stuff I've seen. 

 If it is the same one they bought last season it came from one of the guys that hunt with Ronnie Creek.

i don't know if its the same.  The one this season I've never seen them use it.  It was white with brown spot in eyes.  Just came out this last episode.  Ronnie creek has that dogo I think.   

Well I'm a gamblin man so 5/1 is pretty good odds!  I'd take that bet against MonGo and 1 CD!  Thats just to hard to turn down.  Must be a heck of a dog!!

If its "REALITY"  it shouldnt be scripted, should it??? Reality: is the state of things as they actually exist!

I don't know the cambells or the creeks but I think anyone can catch hogs where they hunt!!!

I'd like to be part of this bet also I have dogs and cash

They are regular hunters just like everyone else here so with a little luck anyone could win that bet.

I know it's just TV and I don't want to start a debate,  but it's gotten too silly for my taste.
I've been watching the show just because of Lea, she makes it worthwhile and I can only think how lucky her husband is to have a woman like that. 
But I just finished watching the episode with Ronnie's niece.  She was a bright spot on the show and looked like a great hog dogger herself, so I was thinking I could tolerate Ronnie and his antics a while longer.  But then he goes and shoots her school book?   :-\ 
That was the last straw for me.  I deleted the show from my DVR recording schedule.  The other Creek boys redeemed themselves this season and all seem to be 'good ole boys' and I wish them the best.
 

I do agree with you that they are more than likely good ol boys/girls and 95% of us would probly get along with em great but in my opinion that show is WAY too fake/scripted..........and yea yea yea I know its made for TV BUT I personally think it is terrible, not blaming the actors so much as the directors/ editors, I know it has to be something that the general public will watch BUT DANG, WHY SO MUCH DRAMA??? I go to the woods to enjoy the time with my friends/family and to catch a hog or 2, not to be constantly yellin hollerin and arguin, if I EVER went on a hunt like those trainwrecks I would pack up and adios it!

It may not seem this way but I honestly would hunt with any of the campbells or creeks any day of the week as long as there ain't any camera's around, I bet off camera they are good down to earth country folk like the rest of us, TV will make you do some crazy things!

Would be a lot cooler if Ronnie would just get frustrated and attack the camera man!!!

I dunno if it was just me but....the scene where he shot her 'school book'....if ya looked close....it looked like a dang Haynes repair manual! LMAO I swear it did! Them school books are super expensive. so I'm sure they used a replacement.

I have met the creek boys at the first of this at a compition hunt. They are down to earth good ole boys. We got to talking about the show and they said they were struggling with the producers to keep it more realistic and less scripted. They are good guys.

Not that they'll miss me or my not watching will make a difference, but Ronnie's antics are what ruined it for me.  I used to watch it with my daughter, but now it's nothing but cussing and temper tandrums.

The whole shows to much for me, they literally see the hog everytime before the dogs even strike, I've actually hunted in a tournament against the creek Boys so I guess they do actually hunt their just in the show To get their names out there. Just funny how they always see the hog before the dogs ever do. Never seems to work that way for me.

But u don't have a team of editors putting film together for u. Out of every episode I would bet they don't have 10 min of new footage of hunting. The rest if B roll. Is that the fault of the Campbell's or Creeks? No. That is just the challenge of filming hunts. The camera only sees so much and we all know being in the heat of it everything happens real fast so the editors take the footage from the last couple years and fill in the blank. That is the same reason all the folks on swamp people were the same clothes on every episode. Makes it lots easier to fill in the blanks with file footage.

I think ETHD should make a DVD that shows bay dogs do more baying instead of just rcd's the American hogger may not want to loses hog i get that but they don't show that the dogs having trouble its not intense when watching it but i give props on (hard core videos) they show the hard work it takes to catch big hogs on video but to get video like that takes time! ethd DVD should show people on this site that post videos that comes out good. i know some are good enough to burn to a DVD. wouldn't it be cool to see the dogs we hear about all the time on video an to watch not just are dogs improve as well as others. It could make this site a little stronger an friendlier site. I know i just bought a camera to show the great times to my further kids an friends an family.. :) us dog hunters love dogs if we didn't have them just think where would u be, lets start documenting the past to show for the hard work every one of us have put forward to making the sport last, I'm pretty sure every one of yall have put blood, sweat an tears specially when a dog leaves this world to rip to show we care about are dogs to make people think about the hard work it takes before pull the trigger or running over them or poisoning them.

Good idea ! And when you get 1.5 million people to watch it you can say you showed them  guys how its done!

I like how they never catch anything with any size just a bunch of small hogs

ya they never show how hard it is! the respect for us hog doggers could increase... good baying video..

This subject is getting old. Let's talk about mashed potatoes or anything else.

I like mine with butter and brown gravy and lots of pepper
