EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

i do hunt that way but im wondering if u can get to the hog fast enuff or is the dog on him own when he takes a long trail and how many hogs is a dog good 4 in a nite

me and a buddy went out with his dog and got 6 in a night and thats all we were good for hank (the dog) wanted to keep hunting

If the dog is on a long trail, a rank boar, and you don't get there fast enough more than likely he's only going to be good for one.

i think if u dont have room 4 dogs them i guess u i wood run one out but i have 40 dogs and if one gets cut i can still hunt a oneout dog gets cut u out

could be why they call em " one out " dogs     L M A O

It is best to always have a backup dog close by and to know your dog well enough to know when he is in trouble. Even the best "One Out" dogs need help at some point. If you cant find a dog or if he is off to the races its best to turn you backup dog out. Most "One Out" dogs will not range very far looking for a hog they have not seen and will usualy come back if a boar gives them the slip. On a regular hunt I load up 4 to 6 dogs in the truck. I box all but one or two dogs when theses dogs wind a hog I turn one out catch a hog and box that dog. I get a fresh dog out and repeat the same for as long as we hunt. If we are hunting a property that we have to walk alot we will just take two dogs and leash one and let the other run out in front. This style lets me feed and own less dogs and cover large amounts of property that I could never cover with all or even half of my dogs on the ground hunting. When I first started hunting this style we would have some of the problems that are commonly asked about this style, but with the advancements in modern vests and tracking systems those problems are a mute point.

How does this style work when it is too hot to run a vest on a dog?

I am not sure what I do different than others because I have not had a problem running a vest on a dog even in the heat of summer. My dogs seem to get just as hot with or without a vest on so I just keep the vests on them and be careful. The "One Out" style helps with the heat also because your dog is only on the ground a short time. Even when I road my dogs I dont have much of a problem because the dogs are rotated when they start to show signs of getting to hot. This style of hunting was made for the heat and has roots in the Australian deserts and jungles where the heat can be really bad.

Darn right I "one out."  Problem is, I only have one dog that can actually handle the giant hogs around here by himself.  If you dump him out on a hog, you'd better get there quick 'cause he'll tenderize them in a hurry.  He'll tear one up pretty dadgum quick.  We usually end up having to kill them when we dump Zip on them.  Here's a picture of him.  Don't let his diminutive size fool ya, he'll shut em down!!!! ;D

They may wear ol' Zippy like an earring for a few miles, but eventually they all stop running.

Seen a few Pit bull ear rings in my time, usualy turn out another Pit to help them out. I use my pits for catching groups of shoalts because I dont want my big dogs catching small stuff. I also like my big dogs NOT to honnor the other dogs catch, so we usualy use Pits as our back up dogs too. If I get on a group of hogs and my big dogs dont catch there own hog out of the group you will usualy hear some bad words come out of my mouth. My dogs are pretty smart and trainable, but I have run into breeds that would honnor every time. Nothen better than having four or five hogs caught like catfish on a trout line.

i have a 3/4 dogo 1/4 ab and a full pit and both catch hard size is not inportant it is the way a dog handles

Guys, I was kidding about that 12 lb dog shutting down hogs "one out."  Hopefully everybody realized that & didn't think I was a lunatic.   rolleyes  Just funnin.
