now  my dogs will help a bull dog when he gets caught no dout but i got a plott that would catch at 10 months old and will still smoke one at 3 years old i try to watch what i get him on and mainly bear hunt him but my other hounds bay just as good as they ever have except when the bulldog hits they usually catch on the rear

has anyone ever had problems with ther dogs fighting threw the wire in the kennals just curious i have chain tie outs

the area i grew up and hunted in TN everybody has always bayed and shot them or shot them crossing the road even myself it was the way i was raised from a kid but a couple of us got started using a catch dog so we could turn them loose but the rest of the hunters excuse is a catch dog will make your hounds catch as well we catch quiet a few hogs and have the best luck with two or 3 hounds and a catch dog not the country we hunt is big steep terrain with very few roads and some times have to walk a mile into a bay

where i hunt very few people use a catch dog because they say it makes their hounds to gritty i have only been using a catch dog a little over a year now but have hunted hounds my whole life     I have found if a hound is catchy or gritty they are going to be bull dog or not  lets hear opinons

Nothing like taking kids hunting with dogs great job guys keepem in the woods

  We usually turn all sows loose bit the catch dog crushed her snout in a cave before i could get her drug out bit i had my 7 year old nephew with us and he had his knife out and ready man was he excited handled his self like a vetran hunter for his first hog kill this young man will be hooked for life

bluetick walker cross you get a good cold nose to strike and trail with and speed to run it down and catch it

i love to see them babies tied

thats what we are hoping we have cut a bunch of hogs in the past 2 years so hopefully some of them are getting by the traps and other hunters

we bear hunt but i hunt the northern part of the state and i hunt in WV lots more bear and fun

2 hours i dont hunt over there anymore tho

the bluetick is half walker hes a pretty nice hound 28 months old cold nosed and 100 percent accurate strike dog hes really tight mouthed on a track gritty but not dumb seems like he will catch one by the ass then back up when it stops i bought him as a pup off a boy in washington i cant track the guy down now or i would buy a whole litter of the same cross hes been a strike hog dog since he was 9 months old and pretty dang good on bear as well hoping to breed him soon

i think we call him duke . Yes there are sevral hunting preserves in cumberland and fentress co. we dont mess around with them to many trigger happy jack asses in them places for me lol

do you catch and tie them or just kill them ?

i live in cumberland co.  what do you all use to catch with

our small group is the only group in TN that catches them we figure every hog you tie and turn loose is another one left to run heck we dont have to kill them and rid them around on our dog box for them to count we still kill a few good boar hog but have been cutting them turning them loose as well hopefully in a few years we can catch some of them 400 plus pound barr hogs like i see on here

Jay Waltz is a really respected plott man in wisconsin he told me one he didnt really start them on bear till they was 15 months old and did not want them on a mean bear till they was atleast to if she acts good and gamey just give her time you never know when she will flip a switch just my opinion

to me there is alot more sport in it them shooting them only time i shoot one now is if i hunt alone and bay a tush hog i dont take a bulldog when i hunt by myself but will still catch and tie one if my hounds can hold it
