if James couldn't get a grip around the hogs ankles then it might be a good idea to just stick him because if he comes loose why trying to throw him
James might have grabbed a club foot. I have come accross a couple. You can't hold onto it as a first leg. Remember what leg was grabbed and go for another one. I have a place I have to hit after deer season and they said they have a monster. I plan to bring extra hands so he can be flipped and tied. It is like a complete win. I will just stick a hog to save dogs but that is like a cheap victory. I am a flip and tie drag em out alive person myself so I understand.
