Well its a long, long story but basically the area I live in (and the South in general) is being overrun by Russian Boars. These are some mean mothers and they make the reproduction rate of rabbits look feable. Pythons in the everglades get all the press, but wild hogs are tearing up the south.

They tear up the world, rooting up huge areas of land, they will eat literally anything (including each other). Rattlesnakes cant even fvck with a wild pig, the hogs can wipe out nests of snakes and its considered a light snack. We shoot the hogs from the deer stands while we are deer hunting, but can only do minimal damage.

The only way to really control the Russian boar population is by using dogs. 2 different types of dogs are needed. Generally Catahoulas for the "bay dogs" and once the pig(s) is bayed the Pit bulls (wearing protective kevlar vests) are unleashed. And if that bulldog is worth 2 shits he will not hesitate to bust that vastly larger pig(you have never seen such a sight!)so the hunter can go hands on and either live catch or (preferably) dispatch the pig with a large knife to the vitals. I have seen bulldogs get thrown 15 feet straight up and never miss a beat coming back down and attacking again without hesitiation. We have killed over a dozen good hogs per day at times. Best ribs and sausage you will ever have if you catch him and feed him out like a cow for slaughter. If you ever see a good pitbull catch dog you will be impressed...Nitro

It is truly something to behold. You can go to huntingfootage.com and there is a wild hog section, and shold be pretty easy to get some video on youtube easily enough. Actually, its hard to get good video without putting your dogs in some unneccessary risks, I have tried and at least where I hunt, its tough to do.

Yes Australia has lots of feral and russian boars, and people use bulldogs down there too, though it may be a relativley new thing down there. If you like crazy ass action, you gotta try it sometime!

Wow. That does sound awesome. Like you said, that doesn't get much press up here in the North.
You can see the crazy in his eyes in the pup pic.

You thought it was going to be some kind of dog fighting thing huh? I know what you mean bro. Man, nothing I hate worse, and really IMO most people shouldnt be allowed to own Pits. The gangsters are all but ruining the breed.

But Pits are born to be strike hogs, they instinctively are aggressive towards hogs and go for the ears. If its a small hog, say under 250 lbs, I can usually get by with one bulldog. Anything bigger takes a bit more stopping power, i.e. 2 bulldogs. And once the bulldogs get in gladiator mode, its on because those pigs will stand their ground!
