I was just thinkin.....
I know MOST EVERY hog is mean but it seems every spotted hog or Fed (Hamp) Hog I've been on has been a rank S.O.B. Granted, the places Ive hunted most don't produce that many of the hogs I'm talkin bout, mostly just solid colored hogs but still, that's been my experience.
Can anyone second that or is it just coincidence?

Why do you call listed hogs "Fed's"?

I will be honest before getting on this website I had no clue what a Hamp or listed hog was. I do agree that some of the spotted boars or here in the panhandle seem to have a little bigger attitude but I'm not so sure that a listed hog and spotted are the same type of pig. Maybe I'm wrong but I'd like to know what the experts think. Thanks

well the listed hogs are from the hampshire family wich in the domesticated world of hogs in general has a reputation for aggresion to begin with and the crossing on ferral hogs and running wild well you get the results . the spotted hogs are descended from the polish variety and were the hogs noted to be the best species for free ranging and known to have attitude problems as well . they are a bigger boned hog and tough as grizzlys .

I THINK they are both out of Domestic stock. The Hamps are easy to tell, obviously. Of course not the same breed of domestic stock, but still domestic stock. As BA-IV was explaining it to me they are usually bigger framed and will stand and fight more. |

Dont know if you guys have any Blue hogs , or that is what we call them in Florida, but they are blueish grey in color, and they are Rank also. no matter what size they are ..... But I agree those type hogs always seem to be way ranker than others.

way back when my brother was hog hunting with me we built a nice training pen and it was all grown up with weeds in between trainings...we had some mt cur pups about 10 weeks old and we got a hold of about 3 striped shoats...the striped ones have more of the European traits...these shoats bayed up a couple times and they learned real quick to run...you could see the weeds just moving as they ran silently and keep running until they hit the other end...when the pups trailed them up they ran back to the other side...they pups were getting some trailing experience but not much baying time...we were given 3 or 4 spotted shoats and one was solid black...these pigs got hammered pretty quick...they wanted to stop and fight and they got stretched out pretty quick...they never ran far and they grunted quite a bit...we really can't use this as data because good data comes from more than just these sets of pigs...the more data the more accurate it becomes...but that was an observation tht says a lot to me about wild hogs...that is why I say the hogs that get away live to breed another day...the ones that stop and fight eventually get caught...dogging hogs in my opinion speeds up the evolution process when it comes to wild hogs...

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...

These hogs are about 1/2 piney woods hogs and 1/2 Hampshire through a few years of breeding back and forth. We catch a few hogs that are blue and a few listed ones from time to time.  |
