I know some of u guys have done it or do it but we couldn't close the deal Saturday night. Had a good Barr Bayed and our only catch dog was at the house on the injured reserve list. Figured we'd be allright cause we took a couple rough currxhounds but we found a Barr of the big spotted variety. Any way we got to within 10' or less with a rope but it was to thick for us non cowboy types to make that happen and we wound up catching him with a 45 slug after he started cutting dogs. So any advice or tricks on catching em with out a catch dog. Btw this was at night.

try to be sneaky, quick, and accurate when you grab for the legs.  If you miss you may end up in a tree  Grin..  If your dogs catch with a catch dog they may do it when you grab a leg, which helps ALOT!

If it's thick, you used the right method.   Wink

If it's wide open, you can play super-hero on the right hog.  The ones I've bare handed were all under 200 pounds.  The hogs that are around 150, can turn on a dime, and have you puckering all in the same moment.  LOL

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...

My cousins wife already had that covered. I tried asking nicely but I guess he didnt speak redneck. I didn't call him fat fat I thought that would have been rude.

Sounds like you had no choice, I had split bay with a big boar backed up to a stump. I couldn't get to his legs, I was about to stick it and hope it didn't climb the stump but luckily my buddy came in and the hog broke when they saw the light which is all it took, they started catching well enough so I could get a leg him. so I guess try and make the hog turn if your dogs are type that get rough when they move....you need to come see huck hunt next time im at the hollands, he is turning into quote the dog

You can do like blakebh and get them to charge you, and have another buddy come up behind them and grab a leg...? But prolly best advice would be to take a CD... JK LOL!  Wink

That hog had a pit bull hanging off his face! LOL He was caught but still able to do whatever he wanted. I was just trying to get him out the pond so we could stick him.
