The American Beagler Forum

I know its off topic but as a houndsman you all have to just love the work of those dogs on American Hogger....That Ranger male with that big bawl voice just makes the hair on the back of my neck go up....I love my beagles and have been raising dogs for over 25 years but that hog hunting in Texas looks like the real deal...gotta give that a try atleast once before they over regulate all the fun outta that like they do everything else. It looks like them hogs are just tearing up that part of the country and causing all kinds of damage....i guess thats what allows the TV show to show so much of the actual hunting and catching...they catch most of them live but some of them hogs are bloody and beat to Hell when its all said and done...I figure PETE will stick their asses into before too long....
just a thought...Bill

I actually hunted hogs like that a couple times down in Alabama. Horseback and all. We had some guys from south Ga. bring up a few hounds and a catch dog to a plantation that had a hog problem.
All I had to do is watch from horseback. The guys that had the dogs did all the work. What amazed me the most was the pit bull that they had as a catch dog. It was trained so well and listen to every command the handler said. Pinned the hogs head to the ground and two guys went in for the catch. Caught two hogs before it got too hot. Those hogs were taken to a pen and fatted before being butchered.
That shows brings back some good memories. If it can be hunted with dogs, I've probably hunted it.

Well Jim sounds like you have the connections so lets make a trip of it...haha...i am up for it and after June 1st i will be off for 3 months give or take....i am always up for some good hound work...and you are right the pit bulls are AWESOME to watch as well...that dog Biggun is really a hammer....and the girls arent too hard on the eyes either...haha

I love that show and watched several of them just last night! The dog work and power is tremendous.

Jim, we have a real hog problem here in Alabama. Some use dogs, but most just shoot them. Some want a trophy boar which to me is too strong to eat. Golf courses pay folks to try to kill them to keep them from rooting the greens up.
That is what bulldogs do is pin the hog by its nose to the ground and hold it there with back feet raised until you get there. We then tie the back feet and make the hog walk to the truck to keep from carrying it and cut its throat at the tailgate.
They are a pest and it will get much worse.

Sorry, this was back in the 80's and I've lost all my connections down there.
For this ol man, the best part of the show is the ladies. They look good in those levi's.

The drama on that show is fake. Last nights show had Ronnie Creek talking with his old team in the back ground. I am more than sure the hunting on that show is real, but I think the drama is scripted.

but the chicks on it r hot!!!!!

Love the show and yes those ladies are fine. But the fight between Ronnie Creek and his neice had to be fake. Who studies a Haynes Repair Manual for a college class?

I agree the ladies on the show...HOT...and packing pistols and wearing chaps...even better...but as fake as some of the drama may be....the hound work is OUTSTANDING...

I like Duck Dynasty Jack.Plus they Pray a form of dying Art Unfortunatly.

The women are diffidently the reason to watch the show. I haven't watched the show lately but if you listen to the dogs voice in the beginning of every race it is the exact same voice clip replayed for every pig

Them ladies make this ole boy put on my specticles!
