EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

i have 2 YBMC that are 13 months old (litter mates) they both will find there own hog but the female seems like she hunts better and she have found way more hogs than the male. is this just because females mature faster than males or what let me know that yall got

In my exprience I have noticed that females more apt to focus on hunting than males and just like any young male there are always other things and there mines. But all it take is more time in the woods and as they get older all they will do is improve.

I have witnessed time and time again the females starting earlier and performing better than their male litter mates. Your male may catch up and even pass her within a few more months of hunting. Then again you never know.
I almost culled one of the best dogs Ive ever raised due to his late start. Kept him because I knew his breeding but was at my wits end at 13 months and he woldnt even look at a hog in the pen. By 17 - 18 months old he was doing great! I would give him a little more time.
Just keep hauling him.

if he s showing interest id give him some time a dog dont get grown until 2 years old . a year old pup is about like a 7 year old kid , imagine putting a kid that age out there and expecting him to do the work of a grown man .

I've had the same experience as Boarninja, I would have gotten rid of a good dog if I hadn't taken him by himself one day. He was a different dog with no distractions!!!!

Are you from Marquez or sumthing? O0

LMAO @ blenox Yes he is from Marquez.

Derk hunt them by their selves and see what they do.

yeah you know what is crazy  joe joe the dogs i consider as worthless would make byron his best strike dog lol he dont know how do over here we have caught over a 100 in 6 weeks so we been doin pretty good

Yea they caught 19 head in 2 days and won the hunt in Teague.

As much hunting as you have been doing it might be a good idea to give them dogs a rest. Take some of them other dogs just sitting on a chain. Heck give them a job.

you prolly right them yella dogs got me spoiled they are jam up and i dont like huntin with those other pos lol

i knew he would do good in teague he would have taken second home but i was too lazy to enter lol just kidding gotta give byron a hard time
