Hog hunting.... With a knife!

[rdbse]

A guy at work was just telling me about this. His brother hunts hogs with dogs (mixed breed pits I believe). Once the dogs lock down on the pig, they pull knife and slit throat.

To me, it is more pure than rifle or bow hunting.

I know folks in Central Texas who hunt feral hogs using hounds for tracking. Pits are the catch dogs and require a break stick to free them from the hog. It's not been stated here, but one reason for using a pit catch dog is that the monetary value of a pit is much less than a Catahoula hound or one of the black mouth cur dogs. No person will argue that the pit is not a master at this game.

Up until about 1970, in the deep South and Southwest, in prison organizations, the fugitive was tracked by hounds and if on the ground was caught by a pit or pit mix catch dog. In such cases a smaller dog worked well.

I read a good article about some prison dogs a good while back. Was very interesting. They used BMc and a few other breeds at that prison. Wish I could find it again to share.

It's my favorite way to hunt pigs.

Make no mistake about it, It's dangerous but that's what makes it fun. Anything you survive is an adventure.

I got this poke a few years ago. Just me being clumsy. Sucker jabbed his tusk in my joint and chipped off a peace of bone. Was like getting hut in the funny bone with a hammer.lol. My old buddy found it quite amusing.
