Hobbles are a easy no brainer but a pain in the a$$ if you ask me.
I can tie a big hog faster with mule tape than I can hobble one and I dont have to worry about lugging 3 to 5 sets of hobbles around with me in the woods. Unnecessary weight and bulk.
I can put enough mule tape to tie 5 hogs in the watch pocket of my jeans if I need to. And that is only a slight exaggeration.

I have friends that carry that many sets of hobbles with them on hunts and to me they look like a lineman for the county looking for a pole to climb!

Tool belts with back support and suspenders. Hobbles hanging off of them everywhere! They sure look cool in the woods though.

A hondo, 4 half hitches and a hoowie using one 6 to 8 foot strand of 1/2" mule tape will tie the biggest baddest hog out out there.
