EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Well I have to say I have hunted hogs with dogs for a while and I have never hunted with bmc or as y'all call it a yellow dog. I hunt mostly by myself but hunt with other friends who have dogs and still no yellowdog. But after viewing this site for a few years it got me thinking I might be missing out

I used to be like you, all cat crosses with some hound in them and had all kinds of crosses. But after hunting with bmc's and got some good ones of my own they are hard to beat. Their work ethic and stamina outdid my cats. Lots of bottom and heart! Now i'll still buy any type of dog if its a hunter.

just like any other breed...some are good and some are not...

Its kinda like guys sittin around talkin about trucks, some are die hard chevy guys some are ford ect. I never ran yellas till few months ago amd i am very happy with the way mine has done. Talk about bottom lol

Yep! Your missin out...  ;D

Just preference

Had a yella dog once let dogs out theyd run off hunting he'd go down the road peeing on bushes theyd bay he'd run to thrm bay a min then pee on more bushes, never seen a dog pee that much.

i love my peeing yellow dog,s       i hate to say it but they are good one,s in every breed.

i hate to get any sh#t started but i think they are smarter run a track faster and a lot more bottom.

I love my yellow dogs I've had a couple cats through the years they never seem to have as much range as my yellow dogs do nothing against a cat just prefer a ybmc

amen

We run cats because the ones we have are close to med range. The few spots we have to hunt are solid swampland or marshland. All hunting is done out of boats . Once the dogs are cast we have to wear hip boots to get around. Long range dogs just wouldn't work for us. Are any BMC's close range or is most of them long range? I only hunted once behind a BMC and that dude covered some ground.

my buddy has a bmc thats short to med range gritty gritty dog

Most the people i know hunt bmc and most are med-long range and all gritty. I wish mine wasnt so gritty!!!

My yellows are med to long range I hunt the marsh a lot myself and it does make it hard tracking 700-800 yards threw saw grass cat tails and waist deep marsh mud that smells like a hog idk how my dogs even find hogs out in the marsh but they do it and do it well If you like your cats that's great it's just a preference in what you like to hint with and what others think

short range is the future .They anit makin more land and the big places gettin cut up everyday.

I had cats and cat crosses for a long time but like y'all say they were shorter range dogs. But if have seen some fine long range cats. My lead cat got stole and I sold everything on my yard bc I was just flat out sick about it and was just tired of it. I kept my bulldogs and one cat/bulldog cross just to have some of my blood. I started running just my bulldog by himself and still caught my fair share. Started to get more cats but the problem I have with them is so many people breed for color and eyes. I prefer the saddle back or plan Merle nothing fancy. I have had a campbell cur an have buddies that that all the hunt. Ended up getting me a full blood German shorthair pointer and he will role. He has  hunt and bottom like I have never seen. I hunt him and a catchdog by my side and I love just having two dogs that will shutdown about anything. I also hunt a Campbell/pit/cur. I just breed her to my pit to get me some shorter range rough rough dogs. But most everyone I know that hunts hunts bird/ bullls campbells Florida curs cats and plot/pits. I just have never hunted with a ymbc and figured I may give it a try one day. But my campbell cross is yellow lol

If your not hunting plotts you are really missing out.  Just had to throw that in there.  LOL

That's kinda like sayin' your missing out on a bad case of the clap ;)

I look at it kind of like this...you are comparing hog dogs and and cheap hamburgers when you talking about Cats and BMC.  yeah they will work for a little bit....You dont know what you are missing until you get a bite of steak!  The plott is the steak!  Once you try one good one you wont settle for anything else.  As a matter of fact, one steak is better than a hotdog and a hamburger.

 ??? :o :)

I have hunted with a plott or two and they were  more like spam lol

 :-X :-X

 :-X :)

day in and day out I I know what I would place my bets on... :-X

hanson...that was pretty funny.  I started out with Cats or some other mix of cur dogs before I moved to plotts.  I am always happy as long as I am hunting; doesnt really matter what the breed as long as I am catching a hog or two once in a while.  Come to think of it I am happy wether I am eating steak, hot dogs, or hamburgers...but no spam for me.

Yeah I guess it really don't matter what you hunt as long as your happy got a hunting buddy getting a silent plott next week maybe he will be good. I don't care what I hunt with as long as I catch my share
