EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Just have to vent a minute.  About to drive me nutts been outran way to many times here lately.  Don't have anytrouble finding them and maybe a couple barks and then it is off to the races.  Don't have the best dogs in the world I know but dang.  One of my rcds got his first true woods experience today and happy with that but not sure what is going on for sure lol.  Sorry I'm rambling just need that off my chest

big open country or thick brush?

We are I'n thick brush just running them then the dogs are poising them, we normally don't run hogs but are dogs were on them for a ways and never got them stopped

hm i would try like a pinch move, take your curs and start down at the bottom and take your rcds and you cd along where ever your hunting and by some chance the pig will either run your way or parallel to you and just let the rcds out to seal the deal.

just my 2 cents due to thats how we would hunt on our land since its small and had runners

Our problem is they seem to be I'n different spots every time

ah, maybe a leggy dog like a stag hound or somethin may help out

Just some not so gritty dogs that'll back up and bay the hell out of the pig until that sob tries to run and then they rip his nuts out. Thats what ya need Landon ;) goodluck finding them though lol

Man I truely don't understand these pigs we had one 5 brak bay and one 10 bark bay and then off to the races we don't keep lot of bottom dogs because of the small places we hunt seen .78 on garmin today and that is a good clip for them.  Like zach said no telling where they will be at think every pig they have hit on this place has been on a different spot.  Just aggravating lol.  Pretty sure it is not dog pressure in numbers because dogs split today mine went one way zachs another and his are more bay and they still left the country with two bay dogs idk just laying here listening to it rain thinking it over and over

I got same problem. I got a walker dog that does have bottom. After they break I just load up the wanna be s find her on gps and haul em to her. Not what I like just all I can do till young dogs get better. Before I got hound I was really PO.would strike 5 or 6 times and end up with a couple of shoats.

x2 usually the best type of bay dog/strike dog to have but hard to get.

We going to try it as soon as we can get back out there and see what happens. 

Let it all out bud. Those scalded apes make most of us feel like that sometimes.   ;D

I'm in the same boat been on runners for ever now. It seem like everything we try they just Wana run. Iv had 2 dogs and a bunch of dogs, gritty dogs and dogs that back they just run. I think it's just has to do with how hard these pigs have been hunted.

That's the thing these pugs ain't been hit too hard, Ashley use to hunt the area and now I do but not much

I feel you man !!!!!!  We have the same problem...........dogs ran big hogs for several hours  a couple of different times this year. I think the hogs prone to post up and fight a getting selected out of the gene pool.  Round here they're running when they hear the tailgate latch pop !

get you a good nut dog that will stop them and back up and bay

Landon I'll be home first next week holler at me well see if we can get some caught

we are going to night when i get out of my english final that starts at 6:30, dumbest thing i have ever had to do, but we are going to try to only drop one or two dogs see if they will be more prone to stay with only a few dogs on the ground

What's the problem with hunting one dog at a time?  There nothing dumb about it. 

In thick woods a mature hog stops when it decides to stop.  Dog's don't stop mature hogs in thick woods.

In the wide open it's a different game.

If there hangin off an ear or nut sack they usually stop

Try runnin fewer dogs, the ones with the most speed. Keep the rcd's with yall and let them go at first bark. That way they got full wind when they are headin in. They might be gettin winded faster if they are being hunted on the ground and run out of gas before they can get to the other dogs and hog.

Another thought, if yall are more concerned with catchin a hog than working all the dogs, try hunting just the rcd's if they will track. When the garmin shows them hangin in one spot for a bit or treed/sittin and its still silent, hurry in and turn the other cd to them for some more help if its needed. But I have a feeling you will just hear a pig squeelin and you can just walk in and leg'em. We get alot of runners at times back in the DFW area and it seems like when we do get them stopped they are small pigs  :-\ . Most of the bigger ones we catch dont run quite as much. The big ones run once they see a person or hear a vehicle.

Well sorta worked just ran 2 dogs and we had a bay but durn the luck it was in the thickest wind row on the place and the cds tring to get there sounded like 2 elephants and hog broke and dogs lost him man that stuff was thick kinda glad they didn't catch not sure if we could have goten in there or not going back again with one or two dogs and hit them again something has got to work.  If that don't work going to buy every dog on the dog trade for a week straight and run about 15 or 20 dogs on the ground at once surely that many can stop one hog lol not really but.......

Yep I know the pain boyz. I love a good rear end dog but that aint helping either when you gotta hunt these thickets and the hog takes three step and is blocked by a wall of thorns that that rear end dog can't get thru to get a mouthfull. I am currenlty trying the rough angle. Gonna breed the roughest Yellers I can get my hands on and when they find em they catch em and hold em till the heavy hitters get there (Barking is optional but not required). Might have some more RIP on the boards but I am personally sick to death of this running BS. 

X2

Look for my new thread Yellow black mask.

My dogs just plain got outrun PBC.....and both my dogs are what I call fast, but the hog was faster I reckon. That's the second time this has happened to me on this place, I know that there is a good group of hogs using here, but it's hard to catch 'em in the pines bedded. Got a ton of pics of them and I found real fresh rootin' this afternoon. Gets kinda disheartening to go and not even get a bay bark. But it'll change here soon, like and old man told me once..."the sun don't shine on the same dog's a$$ every day"....I'll catch 'em snoozing there sometime soon.
