Title: Re: How many? Post by: skunkhounds on February 25, 2012, 06:21:49 pm it dont take many dogs to catch hogs i take 3 rough curs and catch lots of pork its all in what type dogs you want to hunt

Title: Re: How many? Post by: Lance on February 25, 2012, 06:30:08 pm YOU CAN CATCH PLENTY OF HOGS WITH JUST 1 OR 2 STRIKE DOGS AND A CATCH DOG. SOMETIMES WHEN I GO WITH 2 OR 3 FRIENDS WE WILL END UP WITH SEVERAL DOGS AND IT ALWAYS WORKS OUT AND WE HAVE A GOOD TIME, BUT TO MANY DOGS IS A PAIN IN THE BUT.

When I come off a bay and wanna go home, I'd better catch my dogs or they'll have relayed and theyll end up a mile out bayed off. It makes it extremely difficult hunting more than one dog and a bulldog and having to walk out 1/2 mile deep after catching a hog. Title: Re: How many?

Post by: KevinN on February 25, 2012, 10:52:09 pm Hunting by yourself I can see the difficulty getting more than two hunters and a catch dog out (3 dog lead and pick your path carefully). Hunting with one buddy and 4 hunters and a catch dog shouldn't be a problem. That's about the max I like anyway.

When Im by myself If I can catch them before they roll out again I dang sure do. Catching them before they leave is easier said than done! Title: Re: How many? Post by: Sneaky Creek Kennel on February 25, 2012, 11:54:21 pm I run 5 strike dogs usally 3 that I know can get the job done and a couple young up and comers and two catch dogs.

Post by: Kid7 on February 26, 2012, 08:20:57 am Wen I started out at first I thought it was just gonna be somethin for fun during the summer so I talked my friend that's been huntin scence I was born into sellin me a good strike dog and I got a catch dog and for a year I hunted quite a bit. I was in for a rude awakening wen I thought it was just gonna be something I would stop wen I felt like it! Lol that was 3 years ago
