EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

A buddy of mines strike dog won't shut down a big boar in a group of pigs. We were hunting last night and we seen a group of pigs in a field and his strike dog ran past the two biggest boars and bayed a 137 pound boar any reason for this if there's one big boar by itself hell bay the heck out of it

hell who knows .  the young boar coulda just cuaght the dogs eye of smelled stronger . or maybe just a smart dog that didn't wanna get whooped  lol

Haha that could be true

Sounds to me like he did his job, he bayed a hog. Would'nt we all love to be able to train our dogs to bay only big boars. It sounds like he was going to the far side of them to cut them off or to keep the hogs in between himself and his owner. If so then I would think that is the livestock and working dog instinct coming out in him. A good cow dog will do the same thing.

That explains a lot cause he's our cowdog/hog dog

I think he was just going to what he saw as the front of the herd and trying to turn it so that he could bunch them for you.

I finally learned a really good lesson some years ago.....never try to tell my dogs how, when or where to hunt hogs....they know more about it than I ever will. I got this shown to me in a big way one morning and I felt like a fool when they did just what I didn't think they should and wound up finding and baying a 350 lb. boar hog layed up in some soybeans.

ive got a 200lb boar and a 100lb boar in the bay pen which one do you think gets all the action of course the little one. that doesnt make the dogs bad animals no who is the weekr in the bunch

His dogs and mine will bay the bigger one everytime
