Have any of you guys had a set of pits that caught on the same front leg every time?? I had 2 seemed like the white one was always on the left leg and the other pit was on the right for almost every hog we caught for a while, rattle snake killed the left leg dog down at the ranch going to a bayed hog, he crawled thru the brush tunnel and i heard him yelp a bit, he made it to the hog bay and caught, we stuck the hog and the noise died down, somebody coming from the truck said omg there is a rattler 30 feet from u in th emiddle of the tunnel, dog died as we were 60 miles from a vet, after a while i could see the bloodied fang marks on his white side, his name was ol spot, sure missed him for 30 years every time we drive to the ranch oak mott where he got it...... I was always worried when we got a nose catcher, like u guys says, they get that tusk right in the jugualr vein from hog slinging up and down if you got no catch dog help, seemed like ear latchers were about the same, i think the pits we had that lived th elongest were leg catchers but who know, it might just be luck of the tusk running out...
Id like to see some pics of those dogs on a hog... Ive only seen that happen once with 2 pits, and it wasnt very pretty...
The hog didnt have alot of size to it, but they still didnt seem to control it very well along with leaving the hogs head free to thrash...
Did you ever have those dogs catch a hog that was backed into a hole/brush?? I would be curious to know how they would go about catching it...
