I've been fortunate enough in all the years I've been messing with hogs to have come out with just a few minor bites or brush burns, a friend of mine got one of his fingers but off by a big sow once, she was tied and after all the dust has settled he tripped and fell and his hand landed right on her head, another story that comes to mind, we used to have catch dog competitions around here in the late 90's early 2000's, well this one mans pen in particular always had some RANK hogs I mean this dudes were on their game, well they had an event called the quick catch where it was a team of two men and one dog, you sent your dog into catch, one man threw the hog and the other broke the dog, hog had to be off his feet before you could break your dog, well I was about 16-17 somewhere in there and talked smack all week how'd me and my buddy would get in there and win that thing, well my dad heard enough of that and when we me and my friends pulled to the competition that evening my dad came walking up and said pick out which dog yall want to run because I've signed yall up for the quick catch and yall are the 4th team out, I'm not going to lie I started shaking in my boots, being one not to back out of anything once I've ran my mouth I told my buddy Barrett to come on, I had to do everything but whoop his tail all the way to the pen so we weren't wasting dads money, well there was two teams ahead of us and we're waiting on deck, the team that was in the pen ran and a man got his finger bit clean off, they stopped the show to dig around the arena looking for his finger, when I turn around my partner is nowhere to be found, i find him, threaten him with his life and we go make our run. One more that really stands out, we had caught a decent boar with some nice teeth in the edge of a field and went back to the trucks to take the dogs back, we walked back in there and the hog is standing up looking at us, I immediately turn my light off and start walking away, one guy in the group thought he could blind him, well that joker took off running after him because all he could see was his light, he turned to run and everybody's yelling at him to throw his light, well he don't and that ole boar ran right up his rear end and picked ole boy off his feet and literally ran about 15 yards with that boy on his head, at the time it was scary but as soon as he fell off the hog I couldn't help myself but I was dying laughing, now I know it ain't funny but that boy was cut all over from his waist to his toes and his britches has been cut smooth off of him, he was a cousin off a guy we had invited, last I seen of them they were headed to the ER, they've never asked to go with us again.
