Frio, I am moving the feeder to another spot. I thought that first spot would bring in the hogs, but it didn’t.

They look more like a dog that's attacking you.

All kidding aside. Hog dogs are a terrible problem in my area but I just can't bring myself to 'deal with it' when dogs are just being dogs. Its the dog owners I have a problem with.

I just wish you would do some hunting with hog dogs a few times. The issue you note will become very apparent. the Fugging hogs don't honor fencelines do they? And even finding a landowner in a reasonable amount of time can be impossible while you are worried about a valuable dog or group of dogs being hurt by feral hogs or getting lost. It is odd how logical thinking can escape many peoples minds.


The issue is not the hogs and it’s not the dogs either. Handlers not training a reliable recall or not respecting private property rights enough to jacknife their dogs is the issue. It is one or the other, and oftentimes both. From one dog man to another, you already know those things though.

Hog-dogging is an expensive and time consuming way to make a lot of people mad while being an extremely inefficient method of controlling hog populations.

we are now about 2,000 acres and in prime stupid territory for lowlifes and scum to come visit.

a couple months back I caught either a spotlighter or hog dogger (we had pics from late that afternoon) at 0200 cruising fm 100 at about 15 with flashers on, told me they were "sightseeing" (his exact word). told them that if they were looking for dogs they were in the wrong county, turned around then went back the way they came at 15 with flashers.

I have fired warning shots close to dogs I catch on property, there are only 2 that I know and allow, others I try to run off. have shot twice to warn the human scum to gtho. worked pretty good both times.

like said, it is not the dogs, it's the humans.

Well, I don’t plan to shoot humans or ever shoot close to them. As for the dogs, I have not seen them recently. I’ll say this, and be serious about it, if I catch hog dogs running on my place, I don’t want to hear any BS about “hogs don’t care about fences, so the dogs don’t either”. It’s my place, my fences, and I’ll do what needs to be done. I’m a jolly old guy, but sometimes I’m a bit short on jolly.

Rick, I f you're telling me that it's impossible for hog doggers to call of thier dogs when they get to a property line, that's not going to go very far in talking me into supporting hog dogging.

3-4 rounds in the dirt when they can't see you will cause people to think again about their poor decision to trespass.

one word of warning, have the backhoe handy if you shoot a dog, it is illegal unless it "attacked" you or something. grin
