I'm not a Texan. Not sure if that's good - or bad. The dogs were leopard dogs purchased from a breeder in Texas. They had spots like leopards, were small, and very fast. Unlike bulldogs, they never grabbed the deer - but stayed in his face - and while the hog was distracted a bit - we'd slip up behind and dive for the rear feet. When the hog weighs as much or more than you do - it's - well, let's just say it's challenging.
Had to grab both rear legs at the same time, and hold on for dear life. Flip him on his side - boot on the neck, and we'd hog-tie them, throw them over the saddle, and take them back to the horse trailer. Those deep swamps are full of hogs. And gators.
