Title: Don't leave me!!! Lol
Post by: Caddo co. hog dog on December 11, 2011, 09:18:20 pm
I have two younger dogs that are baying real good and finding pigs. My problem is if they get bayed and we drive to get closer they run back to the truck when they can hear it and act like they are gonna get left. Last night they bayed at .76 and hammered the whole time until they heard the truck and come running back like we was gonna leave them. Anybody else have or had that problem and if so how does a guy fix it?

How loud is your truck?

Not loud at all, I had a new muffler put on a few months ago and told them I wanted them to put the quietest one they could on it. Actually most of the time if the windows are up I hafta check the key position to see if it's running or not. I got five hundred yards from them last night and they come running back to me. It drives me crazy

Im like everyone else and have an opnion, and thats all it is an opnion.  Maby for a few hunts just walk, turn a older dog with lots of bottom in on them that will stay hooked up.  Try to ease up to them as quiet as possible, let them bay as long as possible without loosing intrest, stay quiet and use a catchdog.  I also believe day lights hunts help.

Sounds like you need to leave the truck or give them to some that don't hunt from a truck. I think that is one of those things they do all on their own.

They just young dogs that don't know no better... send their ass back in and they'll figure it out after a while

Just what Noah said.  If you wanna speed up the process you can recreate the whole experience in an open field. Hobble a hog and put them young dogs on it, then drive right up to em and whip em and send em back to the hog if they come to you.  It may take a couple of whippings but they'll learn.

I don't have a older dog to hunt them with, I started them by hunting just them two together. I do send a catchdog but I won't send one from that distance for sure. Where most on this board hunt 1000+ acre place, I hunt mile sections for the most part and as far as bottom goes they will go as far as it takes and bay for quite awhile for young dogs in my opinion. That is until they hear a vehicle. I for the most part will be at the bay way before the catchdog gets thr But when I'm not and it's a square mile and they are bayed a few hundred yards on the other side of the section I'm too fat to be runnin through so I drive around. I'm gonna try the mock hunt in a open field and keep sending them back to the pig. As far as giving them to someone that doesn't hunt from a truck, I wouldn't do that to someone. Lol

Keep a older dog are two with them that will stay on the hog when you get there and they come out keep sending them in sooner are later they will figure it out thats about the only thing you can do .

I'd say it's because they still young. I had a male that would do the same thing. He was a walker coon dog. I bet he was close to 20 months old before he quit coming out. I started walk hunting him around my house. But he did  come out of it.

get a pen with some pigs in it and park your truck bout 30 yards from it, walk the pups in and let them hammer away and go crank the truck and rev it up and if they jump in the truck walk them back to the pigs and start over

First I don't use a truck but a 4 wheeler. I try to assure the dogs that when they go off trailing that I stop and wait until they bay or come back. As they get older they just catch up to me and in my mind they are not worried about where I am or where I am going...

It seems to me that when your dogs roll out you should wait there until they come back and then you can move on. It seems to me that the pups don't want to be left behind or maybe they like being with you too much...

I would have someone drive your truck and you walk in to the bay and encourage the pups to bay and then have the driver drive up in your truck and you just keep encouraging your pups to keep baying...

Don't drive to them, walk...

Walking will prolly fix the problem but if that's not how u hunt and dont want the dogs hunting that way then I would try a couple of these training options listed above.
