What are y'all's thoughts on going after a dog killer?
Specifically a Boar that's killed multiple (5 or more) dogs from multiple hunts. Dogs that are anywhere from catchy to just strong bay dogs. This Boar nearly cleaned a guys pack out over the past year and killed a couple more belonging to another guy.
I AM NOT calling anyone out. Just trying to get a feel for how some of you would handle the situation.
I would...for sure...want retribution, but how far do you go? I'm not sure what I would do. Honestly...veteran or newby...you've got a limited number of dogs....do you keep throwing dogs at him till you've got nothing left but pups? Or do you swallow your pride and resort to a gun (no dogs) until you get him.
Still not sure what I'd do.

to much time and money is involved to just walk away. screw pride, shoot the dang thing. I think it would honestly be better to have 1 maybe 2 bay dogs at most to find the a-hole and just shoot him to keep the dogs safe

That's the ones I want an opportunity at most. It's for no other purpose then it's something I enjoy, it has nothing to do with saying I have better dogs, bragging, or anything else.
Most likely if it's a boar, and I catch it, it's going to become a Barr, dog killer or not.

A lot of variables go into this, if I could guarantee I knew where this hog I would turn kick some strike dogs that were loose baying. Once they get em stopped have 3 catch dogs at the ready and be right behind em. I think the key to gettin a big hog is for the handlers to be right in there to help your dogs. Lots of times a big hog can and will fight of dogs before anyone can get a leg on him. The best chance is the first chance. Just my 2 pennies

I hear what your saying Ben but you didn't answer the question. If YOU lost 3 dogs in a year and were down to 1 dog and some pups and your buddy lost 2 dogs to the same boar....what are you gonna do? |

Unless your talking about catch vests...it don't matter. I've had a dogs chest cut into THROUGH a bay vest. Bad hog in a bad spot and a vest ain't no guarantee. |

I BELIEVE this Boar bayed a few times...broke a few times...I believe he killed 2 of these dogs ON the break. He broke as the CD's were coming in and caught the dogs on the way out. |

Find some friends with more dogs. Lay the story on em like you did us. If they are willing to help more power to em. |

From what I understand he shows up from time to time. When he does get struck he travels a LARGE circle. Stops at certain spots to fight and he DOES know how to fight.

Would u feel bad about taking a knife to a gun fight?
If a hog started slaying my dogs I would be after him with a m1 a1 if that's what it took. Call me what u will but when I want revenge I will use what ever it takes to win.
My dad always said if ur out powered or out numbered find an equalizer. No such thing as a far fight.

I'm gonna put that one dog on the ground with a pup and go after him. And I can rest assured my buddy would do the exact same. I've been down to nothing but pups before and have bad quite a few dry runs with just pups, so if I've got to do it again I will. |

I hear you shotgun and I lean that way as well....at the same time, and maybe this is just pride talking....but it would be a hell of a story if it ended with catching that SUM BIATCH with a son or daughter of your best dog. |

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...

X2, why intentionally get ur dogs killed or cut down just for pride. we ask the dogs to go hunt, by why ask them to go on a suicide mission? they don't know its a suicide mission, but the owner of the dog/s do, and it don't show good sense or care for the dogs, knowingly turning them out on a hog that has and will continue to kill dogs until he is killed. I guess dogs are expendable and easily replaceable |
