I grew up in south Arkansas and did that once with a big Bowie knife except without dogs as there were soooo many Razorbacks were I lived; young and dumb. I have seen it done with dogs and it is challenging. Best of luck.

Call Dan Moody of Four Seasons Hunting, Nixon, Texas for hogs n dogs. Its too "medieval" for me, personally, but hey, whatever cocks your pistol ( or makes you "brandish" your knife, ) I think they should use a Boar spear, you know, a big bladed spear with a cross bar "hilt" below the blade? I think that is supposed to "keep him from crawling up the handle" to get you! ha

In the early 90's I was helicopter logging in Louisiana on the western side of the state. I became friends with this local the company had hired to coil checkers. He was a very big fella, 300lbs . He was built like Bigfoot, I could hardly keep up with him. He took me on a few hog hunts, he had dogs that were Catahoula crosses. His dogs were amazing, I always wanted to try them out on cats. Sometimes the dogs would get one stretched and he would stick it with this homemade Bowie/machete looking knife. He carried a 45LC and a Mossberg 12 ga. slug gun. I only recall him shooting two hogs, he stuck most of them. All the hogs expired very quickly. I had the opportunity to poke a few but was never up to it.
I only shot one sow while I was there, it was frontal with a .444 Marlin.
I always worried more about the snakes than the pigs.

We made it back from Texas! I have to tell you I have a whole new respect for pigs dogs and mules. We chased some of the pigs for miles. The biggest one swam the red river which was at flood stage and really moving. It was about 300 yards wide there was a sand bar still showing above the water half way across. The hog swam straight to it the dogs ended up about 100 yards down stream. When they went after it he swam back to shore 5 miles later we never did get him stopped. First one we got stopped when our hound man had him by the front legs he threw him into a tree and busted his head open. The one my wife got was over 400 pounds. He didn't try to run at all he wanted to fight the dogs. Hers had over 4 inch tusks! We hunted in the thickest thorn patches you can imagine. Following the dogs for miles on mules. And I'm here to tell you if the mule can fit through the thorns and trees he is going so you better hang on.

Ok here are the most important questions...where did you meet Wonder Woman? And how did you convince her to marry you?!

My wife won't cook wild game, let alone kill it....

Congrats! Glad it worked out for you. I know those hunts are intense!

Thanks it was. Going back next year for sure. Great people great hunting. Definitely not like the videos you watch when they're inside a fence. Probably the hardest hunting we have ever done.

I'd be more scared of that pretty woman with a knife than of any of the hogs you're chasing. Lol. Savage!!
Looks like it was a fun hunt. My wife is like yours and wants to be right along side me whatever I'm doing. That makes it all the better.

Absolutely we have done three wilderness Elk hunts together. Deep sea fishing in Costa Rica helps with my Walleye Guide service and runs our tactical pistol rifle range when I'm gone.

Didn't meet till we were 45 she had never shot a gun! Our first Christmas she bought a wilderness hunt in Idaho for Elk. We didn't get a Elk but she got a real nice Cinamon bear. At 11000 feet on the side of a cliff I asked her to marry me. She said yes but wanted her ring made from Elk ivory. Took 3 more years before we both got a bull to get the ivory for the ring . The next summer we went back to Wyoming and had our guide Troy take us and the wedding party back up the mountain in horse to the exact spot we got our Elk and got married . How many women you know got dressed behind a pine tree for there wedding? And now here at 54 she stuck a big boar with a knife
