I agree Dub.  Grand Pa said, the A/C is what ruined Texas, it allowed the Yankees to live here.

Their are certainly many variables; terrain, length of hunt, number of hogs caught, ect. Etc.  I try not to hunt mine over twice a week, sometime I exceed that.  I have also started hunting two separate packs with 2 to 4 strike dogs in each. 

I am a certified criminal defense attorney, i have practiced law in Texas for 15 years.  I see these same situations on a daily basis and it makes me sick. COPS ARE OUT OF CONTROL. So you are saying that a citizen does not have a right to be on a public street! 

Proof, that in urban areas cops are completely out of control.  This type of police state mentality is moving into rule areas as well.  I feel like we are living in Nazi Germany.  Cops are kicking doors in without warrants or probable cause, shooting and beating whom ever or what ever they want.  At some point we are going to have to stand up and say enough is enough.  Cops go home and mind your own business.

I guess I missed something, SetexHogDoggin, could you please explain, your response?

Cut her canines off and put her on a bad one, stop running a vest on her.  She will quit catching.

Prayers sent.

I have heard of guys sleeping in hollow logs, but this man is doing it, that is really neat.  Thanks for sharing.

I understand the cold bitch breeding program. I realize why it will work in the game dog world.  My concerns in the cur hog dog breeding program are as follows:
 
1. You are dealing with many more traits you are attempting to improve on (speed, hunt, range, grittiness, bottom, desired size, nose, temperament, etc., etc.)

2. Being able to determine if a cur bitch is genuinely "cold", I think would be impossible, because of so many more traits you are working with.

I know very little when it comes to the game dog world, but it seems that you are only concerned with a few traits; game and strength.

Just seems that the more traits you are dealing with the less likely this type of breeding program would work.

Dabutcher may have one or two in Stephenville.

Thanks everyone for your prayers for Rance and his family, please keep them lifted up in prayer. I heard that his surgery went well and he is now able to talk.  I understand he told his wife he loved her.  Thank so much.

Keep praying for Rance, I understand he lost one of his legs and they are trying to save the other one. Also his Kidneys are trying to shut down. Also pray for Anthony Gonzales family, he was in the same wreck and died instantly.

Amen brother!

Great hunt.  The middle hog is a meet color, I would like to catch a big boar colored like that.

If the dog is over a year he should lock down.  That is a must, it's their main job, to stay locked on.

Directv 281.  Good show, shows the hog hunters in a very good light.

I started a full Parker pup 2 weeks ago, he is 8 months found and bayed his own pig the first hunt. He is doing real well so far.

Monty Bennet has a rough line.

My wife and I went to a weekend to remember marriage conference, it was great.  I recommend it to everyone married or engaged.  I would love to go to another one soon, it really helps make your marriage stronger. Just google: weekend to remember marriage conference.  Only costs about $125.00 or so.
