EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Me and my son were hunting along a creek. The dogs were out in front and got piggy. I let the rcd out of the box and we slowly proceeded. The creek is about 80-100 feet wide and 12-15 feet deep in the blackbelt region of West Alabama. Anyway all 4 dogs bail into the creek and a big boar stands up in the grass on the edge and runs right at the four wheeler.  We're 20 yards from him and with no time to react he charges and hits the four wheeler full out. I had time to step off and my son raised his legs just before he ripped off the fender and left tusk marks below the seat.  The dogs ran by him and never saw him and never barked. He had plenty of room to go by. Has anyone else ever had a hog charge that was unprovoked? Any way, chased him about 1/2mile across pasture and had him in the scope 3 times but couldn't get a shot. Dogs caught up and trailed him 3/4 mile through a thicket and lost him.  Was getting dark so we caught them and left him alone.  What to yall think?  Yall run across a rogue SOB like that before?

yeah I have seen some that would not run they would come to you ..... had one charge me on my 4 wheeler  not long ago had his girl friend in my trap ....

That's wild... the only times I've ever had them charge to truck or buggy is turning one loose.

Justin had one charge him and cut a chunk out of his front tire, we caught the hog, but Justin cried and cried about having to buy a new tire

I sure wish we had more like that,, wouldn't have to chase em as far if they come and find u..     ;Dlol.....

All I can figure is that the hog felt surrounded with the dogs behind him ...or, there was a hot sow close ...or, he had been harassed by a dog hunter in the past, I do remember having a hog bayed over there in January, the creek was flooded and I couldn't get around in time .....pic is from yesterday at the scene .....thanks for the input (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170523/ca6c54e02e7fa2981b8f341e29ef8276.jpg)

Thats crazy, never anything that direct by a solo boar. Once we had 2 wheelers with 2 people on each one and pulled up to dogs baying a sounder at night, one ran at and struck the side of my wheeler bounced off then ran away, same as your son I just lifted my leg and stood on the other side wishing I had my cd on board ... it happened fast I couldnt tell if it was on purpose of it they were trying to get away but we had lights on etc

I had one bayed in a lot of water one time about 400 yards from the edge of a corn field so I started walkin in got about 200 from them they we on a big hill so I turned bulldogs loose bulldogs get about half way there and the hog breaks and runs to the corn field they stoped in the field bulldogs caught up I hear grunting run to them and all I could see was dogs were in the cab of my side by side I thought the dogs got one of the hogs that was already tied I get there and there is a 300 pound boar standing in the floor board of my 400 ranger I had a hell of a time getting him out he was stuck that is one of the craziest things I've ever seen

If we had been on a side by side he would have ran through it ....buddy said he was going to leave the doors on his lol

Some hardware on that hog there! Glad you got him. Good luck to your dogs man. Sucks, but soon as you cut them dogs loose you never know what's going to happen.
