sounds like excitement that went south...I hope all your dogs make a complete recovery...
but here is something to thing about...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...it could get bad in a hurry...sounds like a hog that knows how to wreck a pack of dogs...

I hate to hear about the dogs.
BUT this is exactly the kinda hog that makes me hunt as hard as I do sometimes. Another thing you can try is a pair of handcuffs. They work good on big hogs, and if it gets to where you can't throw him, cuff the back leg you got a hold of and cuff it to a sapling or his other back leg, and it'll give you enough time to regroup, and go back at him for round two. I'd like to see this dude tied down for sure!

I'd bet money it's one of those "tame" barr hogs I read about.  Lord knows that country over there is full of them. |

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. |

If it weren't for the fact that I saw with my own eyes the Psenciks 7mth old yella pup "tracker" with a mouth fulla nutt at the bay I would agree with you, he was just a flat out big hog. He may very well be a barr now after what that pup was doing to his rear end lol. |

I textd Mr. James this morning asking him the same question.....no answer yet.......hope thats not a bad thing! I know a couple of theirs were whooped pretty bad I imagine it'll be at least another week or two before they are healed up good enough to go but I may be wrong. Their dog "red" had me a bit worried, I think he took the worst of it.....seems like he gets the worst of it just about every time. I will tell you one thing, that ol dog has ZERO quit in him and it a hog finding/catchin fool, if I had a yard full of em like him I would be one happy fella. |

Red is such a trooper. He is up and around. Moving a little slow but other wise doing as well as can be expected.
I have to laugh a little because our Camo dog, while he is a good hog dog and never hesitates doing his job, he is a bit of a baby when he gets a booboo.
One of his injuries is a small nick on his back leg and if he sees you looking at him, he will lift that leg high in the air like its real bad. hahahah, he has always been this way. He is a bit of a drama momma.
Buckshot is doing well too. He is up and eager to get supper every day.
Sweet Pea never even got stove up. She is as tough as they come.
Thank you for yalls concerns. Our pack's health is always a top priority and they are getting top care and should be back in full action in about another week and a half.

good to hear Mrs. Dinah. I figured sweet pea and camo would be no worse for wear but I know ol red and buckshot got it pretty good. Glad they are all recovering good and BTW the line about buckshot up and waiting on food made me laugh lol, I know he ain't one to miss a meal!

Same thing happened to me 2 weeks ago on my biggest hog. I am still in awww I couldn't believe it. We tried to leg it and it started dragging dogs and the next thing I know he was lose. A few trail dogs followed but it was late and we were 2 properties over so we called them off and went home but I was super bummed. I guess occassionally some slip away. I have 2 other catch dogs I'd like to try on this ole boy if we ever run into him again.
