EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

We caught a boar that had been barr and both ears cut off at skull.he cutt some dogs but didnt kill any.we took him out so nobody elses dogs would get cutt up.dont no way ppl are that sorry to do that.its not a joke.so to all my ethd around bonham becareful.

If hunters are mad at another hunter take up with each other not on the dogs

Am I getting this right. M Bennett your mad cause a guy in your area altered a hog to hurt dogs

I have seen a few like that more than likely his ears where pulled off by dogs or by him fighting other hogs

He was barred and the ears were smooth an round perfect circle.
Ferris it was a new place not one I hunt all the time. Farmer dont let anybody hunt it he says

Pigs do travel. Come on if a hunters worried about his dog getting hurt he might want to consider another way of hog hunting. I mean what would of happened if the guy that cut his ears left the pig a gun also. Not trying to b an ass but that happens everywhere. I've caught many of pigs with no ears. Just makes the game interesting for me to see if my dogs r able to catch hogs with no ears. And they've proved to me they can.

The purpose of me saying this was to worn other hunter s.I dont worrie about dogs dieing.they make more.but to do this for international to hurt a mans dogs
I believe they marked him wen they barred him.
But yur right ferris you no everything an ill stop crying. Just given a heads up to other dogs.were I live u dont see this

So you have caught numerous hogs with no ears ? ???

That does seem pretty messed up to me

I have heard of trappers doing it to make the hog a dog killer

There are folks around our area that do and have been doing the same.......its chicken chit but it is what it is, just gotta roll with it i reckon

Have ran in to this a few times not so much in farm country but in the hill country we catch 2 r 3 a yr with no ears,what i was told long time a go,the barr some get cut off,cause some one is mad at somebody for hunting there land,i c it most being done by the guy that thinks he owns every hog,and only he can catch them,the old folks in my neck of the woods say hog thief ,with both ears cut off,you c alot one ear hogs ,and other ear tore up from dogs.i have seen both ears pulled off by dogs,wen its done on purpose round here ,the top teeth are knocked out.good hunting.

90 % of the barrs that are barred and ears cut off,were trap caught cause there dogs cant catch them.i hope mybe one day the folks cutting ears off,catch one in a deep ditch. Just mybe they will wake up if they have to carry thete whole pack out.cut to hell and back.nothing wrong with planting the seed,but cutting both ears,is a cowart.

Stay out of another man's hogs!!!!!

Its 8000 acres.nobody owns the hogs.they dont let any hogdogger hunt it.

Sorry, you said that someone cut the hog's ears off in order to put your dogs in danger.  Just knida figured someone obviously hunted them hogs and if you don't cut the ears off of hogs in your hunting spots then an easy solution would be hunt YOUR spots and stay out of another man's hunting spot.


Sorry wasn't trying to be smart, it just seems pretty simple to me. 

Cantexduck yes I've caught several without ears. He'll there's many of hogs out there with no ears just like there's many of hogs with no nuts. Barr them to make them bigger. No ears cause they've been chewed off and somebody didn't catch the hog. Am I forgeten something oh yea M Bennett no I don't know everything but I know enough.

That spot is mine now.and I dont hunt other ppl spots.I hunt were land owners let me

Put away you pits and bulldogs who are "all ear" and get a dogo that will grab anywhere on the head and hold till you get there"without!!" Getting cut...lol

No one ownes any wild animal except at the time it is on his property if there one mans he needs to get a better fence.  And don't see why any one who hunts with dogs would do that. On a different note one time me and my boy went on a hunt cought a nice boar bout 150 lost my break stick so I cut the ear off tied the bull dog to a tree tied the hog went to the wheeler with the dogs came back hog was gone it could be him lol but he wasn't cut

I didn't take it as you are hunting someone else's hogs... I see it as they need to stop hunting YOUR area. If your the only dogger allowed to run it then apparently someone else is just trying to be an a$$.

Thanks tc.
Im just letting other hunters no what happen to us.it sux when ppl do this.I dont care about all the other number 2 said.hope some young hog hunter in area dont have this happen just a heads up.

There's no telling where that hog came from or how far he travelled to get there.

the part that makes me mad about when people do it is they did it to intentionally hurt someone's dogs... I know every time the dogs go out they can get hurt, but knowing someone went the extra mile to try and get the dogs hurtin is bs

That is as chicken turd as it comes in my opinion. My wife has killed one like this but luckily it was with a rifle from a deer stand.


Shotgun
Arkansas

I've seen a few, and I know they can wreck a dog, good heads up for us hunters to stay on our toes, at all times!

I always worry that I might not bring one of my dogs home. My dogs are my family does that mean I shouldn't hunt?. For a person to intentionally cut off a hogs ear out of spite to kill a mans/woman's dog it bull #2. Man up and deal with the person face to face. Since I can remember we've only caught one hog with both ears missing.

Monty I havent seen it around here either, but when Riley and I hunted down by Brady we caught 2 barrs w/o ears that were close to 200 lbs if I remember, also caught a 10 lb piglet that had both his ears halfway cut off and nuts cut.  The land owner said he does that but never said why.  i dont get it either.  Leave something on their ear to catch atleast.  Notch them how you want if you are just wanting to come across the pig again, but there should be something atleast half if you ask me...

With or without ears hogs can cut and kill your dogs this is the chance you take. if people are doing this it makes no sence but you can't hunt scared or be on the what if side all the time if your dog is going to get killed they will probly get killed with or with out ears just my thought

Im not scared I breed an run kammakazie rough dogs.I live 3hr from the new place.dont no anybody around there to face up with.
I was given a heads up to other hunters.

Wasn't implieing that you your self where scared was saying hunters our self can't hunt with a  scared way of thinking winning thoughts incur edge  winning same for losing. That's what I was getting at

It isn't being scared. It is called being smart and having empathy.

So you are smart enough to know that the hog doesn't have ears before hand ? I feel bad for any one who gets there dog hurt or killed they are like family to me I know a lot of guys that don't care that way for there dogs but I do. But at the same token they are going to battle not a spa 

Good job taking that hog out Monty , I don't understand why people Barr and release hogs in the first place much less cutting ears off. I thought the whole point of this sport was to catch and cash in, not create dog killers.

Lmao. Judge peel tell these people we ain't scared.  He'll if there's a pig scaring u dog owners please send me a address my hunting crew will remove them with no problem so nobody else's dogs get hurt.

Dodge girl if u worry about a dog not coming home I would consider leaving them as pets. Every time I load up the dogs my hopes r to find the rankest pigs in my area. Yes I treat my dogs as family to but when I cut them loose the game changes and some may b dead the next time I see them but in reality I put them in that situation because I wanted hog dogs. Id much rather get a dog killed by a pig with no ears than a gun or being stollen.

O I believe it !   There is Chicken Turds around every corner .  Some jealous , some pissed off they cant hunt area's, some pissed off you might have better dogs, some just plain Chicken Turds and the list just goes on and on and on .  Pretty damn number 2ty if you ask me for what other reason would someone cut a boars ears off clean with the head ?????  That's right there is no other reason !  Also you can tell if they been chewed off ripped off are been cut slap clean with a sharp knife !   Chicken number 2  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Skeered aint got nothing to do with it skeered are not Chicken Chit is Chicken Chit and you cant take Chicken Chit out of Chicken Chit ! lmao

M bennet post a pic of the hogs head so we can see the ear cropping your talking about. Just wanna see for myself I know it will b just a pic but I can get an idea.

Texashogdogs lmao. What a dumb ass how many times u here that pathetic saying

Unless I missed it , how many of these ear less hogs have you caught ?

I was wondering that myself. How about it, Ferris...how about posting up a few pics of those earless hogs you seem to specialize in? You know...just wanna see for myself.

As hunter  when I hunt ppl places the landowners don't want any more hogs on there  place if u  barr a hog u r still turning those hogs out to do tons of dollars worth of damage to the land.even know they can't reproduce they r still causing damage. And if the landowners ever knew that I was to turn one back out I would not be hunting there anymore.

I think I've made my point. Who cares what the pig looks like just catch it and do whatever u do with it. As for posting a pic what does it matter what I caught I wanna see the pig that started the thread were talking about. He'll I've never posted a pic. People who hunt with me have mayb they'll show u one mayb not. Have fun hunting boys.

Well I believe there are a couple ways of looking at this.  I can see different angles and arguments for both.  However, I don't believe the fellow that started the post meant any harm and I don't see any crying going on. 

What I do know is I have a couple jam up catch dogs that catch snout and by the back legs only ;D  Just kidding obviously-trying to have a little fun.

Seems like most of the post these days turn into verbal pissing matches-which I don't really care to read.

Lol ya it can get out of hand some times but I thought a open forum was so that you can post your opion. A lot of time some will agree some won't some will think there right some will get there feeling hurt but it's all in a day of Internet hog hunting lol

Lmao. Yes indeed

x2

 Just as I figured.

I swear if I'm ever in need of any amusement I come to this board and y'all never let me down haha like a bunch of damn women in a hair salon!

Hey man I don't have any hair   

Lol.my 10 yr old can post a pic on here .

Ill go by the buying station an take a pic of its head for u ferris.

I like how I was just giving a heads up about catching  a hog in that town.and to see how chit gets turned around.

Ferris send me yur pics by text or message them to me an ill post them for you
If you have a photobucket click on  imc code an past it should work.

Im headed out to Colorado city next maybe there no ear hogs there.I no theres alot rattle bugs

Quite the trend these days on forums. That good ol Facebook is even worse, lol.

I think folks tend to look way too far into things sometimes. I took this thread as a friendly heads up to be aware in that certain area that there may be someone cutting both hogs ears clean off which can obviously increase the already existing risk of injury to our working dogs. If I were running that area I'd appreciate the heads up. People do do this kinda thing. Who knows what possesses them to do so but id sure hate to run into somebody intentionally doing that for no reason. They'd sure get an ear full.

Yes of course we all know ears get torn off too, but if a hog has two clean cut holes where ears once were, it's sure likely they were cut off not torn. The world may never know lol.

Thanks for the heads up I'd say. I'm one of few women here on this board but sometimes I wonder, lol. Something so simple, can sure turn into something all over the place quick like.

Lmao.

Man I'm glad I'm not sensitive.

I know a guy that hunts hogs in the national forest, not with dogs.   He also traps hogs.  Every boar hog he traps, he barrs, then cuts the tail and the ears.  It has nothing to do with dog hunters. It's so that he and his fellow hunters can easily identify a barr hog to shoot for consumption.

I could care less ears no ears tail no tail I am a hog hunter. My dogs would be upset with me if didn't hunt them due to something some one did or didn't do. Like I said befor if your dogs are going to get it then that's what will happen. Trian them run em live and love hard that's my way. It's hard to be hard in a soft world and you never know how hard you are until the blows keep coming. Good luck to every one be safe out there on the web

Circle c / judge peel yal know what I mean. My question was never to start a argument with someone I don't even know. But at the same time don't state SOB if u don't even know who did it. I guess I'm done.

  I don't see anyone saying they are soft.
      If someone intentionally cuts ears off for the purpose of making it hard for a dog to catch , that is bull sheet in my eyes. If you chime in about something on the internet then expect to be called out on it.
     

No, not sensitive at all...

I wasn't saying there soft just some people can handle Any can be stopped when the time is right more than others just like a person who wins all the time then crys when he loses and a guy that don't ether way but keeps moving foward that's all buddy any pig can be hard to catch I ain't never seen one with carrying handles and a receipt

x2

Lol I need to go to English class lol ment that some fellas and lady's  can handle more adversity better than others stand for what you think or your right to say it might be taken

I think diff people are taking the meaning of this post two totally different ways lol I see the reason of posting is because it's bs to intentionally do something to try and hurt someone's dogs... If the dogs can take an earless hog or not is a whole diff topic. I didn't think he was saying hey now my dogs might die because there's earless hogs running because everyone knows it can happen anytime... He's just saying its bs to do it with the intention of hoping to put dogs at more of a risk..nothing to do with being afraid lol

Cashing in to me is re supplying the Barr herd with more Barrs, so your view on the sport is very much different then mine!

Cashing in to us is removing all hogs caught and taking to the buyer. It don't matter on size, we do not Barr and release..

Tc I agree I say what I think some times it don't come out right but I only got 8th grade education so most are smarter at this Internet hunting than me

Different strokes for different folks

I have caught and barred several hundred boars on a high fence ranch several years ago and over 1/2 the ones we caught back looked liked they were surgically removed ! And there wasn't anybody hunting the place but me ! Seemed like the ones we caught in the hot summer time  the flies got on them pretty and the maggots cleaned the ear up !

X2 I've taken a hog we caught in the summer put in a 5 ac wooded pen and the ear it was caught on wasn't even chewed up at all but couple months later it was gone.

I use to turn a good bit of hogs aloose around the house and would see some later on that looked very similar and their ears would be gone from rotting off especially in the summer time when the blow flies are bad. It would be a smooth place where their ear use to be like it was surgically removed. About two weeks ago a guy killed a nice boar in a corn field about 10 miles from my house that was missing one ear and half the other ear and I know I haven't turned any loose without any ears in a long time but some have got out of my pen somehow that I knew would prob loose their ears  ???  Mr Bennett maybe that was just roaming the area passing through and I'm sure it's a few people from that area that read your post and appreciate the heads up.

Jesse Paul,

You been hunting around Bonham?  If so, I think there's a fella that might want to have a toe fight with you.

Think the post was just a friendly heads up. Thanks. Ive never come across a barr/earless hog my self. But hell I hunt maby 20 times a year. When I do go out its always with good dogs/hands and no less than 2 catch dogs... the last dozen not one dog got hurt all able to hunt next day
