Keeping a big hog tied in the saddle would sure be a challenge for me and my barrel headed mule but I am up for trying it. I need to scotch hobble him and get him used to smaller hogs to start with I guess. Its just been to easy to ride back to the truck and get a 4 wheeler over the past 10 years.
I've had a little practice with packing things out of the mountains with my mules and can throw a pretty decent diamond hitch (after about 3 tries
) but I aint tried to pack out anything alive on them much less a big hog.
I think thats on of the differences between a hunter and a cowboy that hunts. lol.
Some pictures would sure be handy! I have a feeling Im going to be trying a few practice rounds with my mule, tying live hogs on his back with the saddle on. It should be interesting. He aint boogered in years. Not even with smelling bear, or close encounters with moose. He didnt even put up to much of a fuss when I pulled a deer over the saddle the 1st time.
Something tells me a live hog will be different though! lol.
