Who is into hunting hogs? A business associate of mine has a 2,500 acre quail ranch in west TX. We hunt quail all day and predators and hogs at night. He has full time bird guy that lives in a house on the property that manages the birds and dogs. It is on the market for $17M if anyone is interested.

We hunt hogs with curs, pit bulls and kill with a knife. Here is how we do it:

First we let the curs out. For those that are not familiar, these are kind of like a sturdy pointer. They find and chase the hogs and corner for the hunter. They are sturdier than a pointer because they have to fight pigs as they corner it. If it is a small hog the curs will shred it before you get to it. This happened on a couple of occasions. We have a pack of 15 curs and trust me a pack of 15 dogs will **** up whatever they tear into. There was nothing left of the two hogs that they shredded before we got to them. The curs have GPS collars on which we track. When we see all the dots converge we know that they are on the hog. They are trained to only bay when they are on the hog so if you hear baying you know that they are on a hog.

Once we hear baying we drive our dog truck up to where they are at and grab the pitbulls. We use two pits that we release on the hog, which they grab by the ears. The pits have Kevlar vests on them to protect them from the tusks of the hogs. A good size hog is 250 lbs + and is strong as ****. They will gore the dogs and even with the Kevlar vests will sometimes succeed. My friend lost a pitbull/great dane mix the week before when a hog got him in the neck underneath the vest. The pits are fearless and love nothing more than grabbing pigs. When not grabbing pigs they are the sweetest dogs in the world.

Once the pit grabs the hog it is not getting away. These ****ers lock on and are like robots. With the pits on the hog, the hunter moves in and stabs the hog in the heart with a Kabar. It is crazy intense as you can imagine. In this instance, we heard the curs and ran through a shitload of cactus. I was bellycrawling through cactus and came face to face with the hog with two pitbulls on it. Here are some pics and a super short video. The phone got dropped as the hog was getting stabbed.

Wild pigs are destroying my land and landscaping around my house in italy... I wish I could take my guns with me when I go on vacation.

I went to georgia with some family members for a guided hog hunt with jager pro. It was a fantastic experience. Great guides just a couple good ole boys from the south. We bagged a total of 22 in 2 nights about 10 hours of hunting. 1200 bucks a person and it was well worth it. Guns, ammo, lodging provided

I want to get into hunting this year but I’ll likely just stick to the deer that come through my property

A friend of mine used to hunt wild boar years ago, using a pistol. I never got to go with him, but he'd tell me stories of close encounters. He would hunt with a guide in deep brush and he had to always be expecting a boar to come charging out. Serious, adrenalin pumping stuff!

Plenty of people that would say that.

This is about the most primitive cave-MAN shit a boy can get into.

Cool shit for sure, definitely requires balls to be fully dropped.

I wanted to do something similar with bear. My plan was to set up a tree stand over bait and then spear the bear while he was eating the bait. I have shot bear over bait and oftentimes they do not give a shit if you are there or not. I decided against it because a bear can run up a tree like a squirrel and the spear would not kill them quickly enough. They can take a shot straight to the heart and still live for a minute or two.

Yes. On further review this classifies as damn sure savage! Luckily I don't have them here. Too much time & money invested in all my food plots to have hogs come in and tear it up.
My biggest destructors are armadillos. And I shoot the shit outa them very frequently.

If hogs make their way up to KS I will go ham on them, pun intended. F those things. Buddy in GA hunts them with dogs and he is a hardass.
Our wildlife dept just approved night vision and lights for coyote hunting so if we are unfortunate enough to get hogs I bet they’ll allow the fun stuff.

I would love to go hog hunting preferably with a rifle. Hopefully this fall I’ll get to go. This type of hunting sounds intense. It would be cool to do as well.

This is crazy, has to be intense when you’re right there.

I was just talking with a vendor about his parents place in Texas. Said they were going to kill hundreds of deer each day, gut them and donate them to food shelters. Crazy stuff since you get 1 buck a year up here.
