I have never met him, I have never hunted with him so just cause some of us are defending him doesn't mean we are close. Good try though . I love to here his stories I honestly didn't believe what he said I even told him when I talked to him I got to see to believe.

 Exactly, just cause ned or whoever didn't do it doesn't mean everyone else can't do what they want, there isn't any hog hunting gods that says we have to do it that way. Josh chose to do an interview oh well, if it makes him look good great if it doesnt oh well. What do you think ford chevy and all those competitors do same things( like george lopez say's its the same $h!t)  making himself look better and us look bad lmao. Don't worry like the other thousands of hog hunters.

 I come on here to see what people catch and get good hunting stories and I get this. Poor dude is trying to feed his family and people are complaining.

 I tell you folks, if it ain't ETHD way it isn't right. Now I have talked to this guy by phone and he seemed like a real cool guy. We all know that he use to be a regular on here, they didn't like him on here and now they want to bash him from behind a computer. You should just go up to him in person and tell him how you feel and what he did was wrong instead of come on here like a little girl and complain to all the big brothers. :'(

Every situation is different so all this talk is just conversation so we can all have fun cause we are bored at work. Some hogs 150 lbs can put u out of commission some 200+ hogs with 3 inch teeth not put a scratch on a dog. So its just opinions, there isn't no hog hunting manual that says how its supposed to be, even when u got people on here that think its the best way, its all opinions.

on the ear and ear only a jowl catch is hard to hold on to, because of the flex in the flesh( to much fat) a snout catch is more dagerous than people think both for you the dog and the pig( which if you never tie isnt a great big deal at all b/c hes about to die anyway) and a leg catch is completly useless hogs can still turn to fast and on a bad one your dog is dead before you get there. personally i belive the best way is to either have two cds or one cd and baydogs that will catch the head w/ the cd (rather 2 cds cause i dont like seein dogs get poked and bled out specially good strike dogs) ive seen really large hogs 350+ not be able to move w/ 2 cds on them at all and not even think of cuttin a dog when them two dogs are tryin to rip his head in two but they cant catch on the edge of the ear they have to get down on it....just my thoughts

What I was meaning was the other dogs would have a better chance of not getting cut with the dog on the snout. Also fully vested, I really don't care for the hogs snout either, if i did i wouldn't run catch dogs

On the snout  , I feel with a good size dog fully vested, every dog is safe. Thats as long as he gets there first to take the first whacks then get a good grip. They have good control of the pig that way, but I only need one good catch dog that catches on the snout. jmo

That sounds like a plan, I have a buddy that has about 15k of corn fields down near edna and I have 4000 acres in goliad plus other good spots I will get with you. The corn fields won't be ready to hunt until late april and may though.

Hey I'm from rosenberg to, I thought I was the only one with dogs in rosenberg lol. I really don't have much here but I do got places down in Goliad.

This is the only time I carried my camera, this is my best hog this year. I work two weeks on and two weeks off but still caught my share of piggies.

Merry Christmas to everyone, you have some beautiful dogs, very nice pictures.

  

man i would hate to run on those rocks, might twist an ankle lol. Thats a good hog right, good luck we will be waiting for the pictures  .

lol Kevin that was good hehehe .

I just don't know about some of these questions  . Do you hunt at all, I'm sure you have hunted with buddies see what his doing see whats working for him. No one is going to give you the right answer on this particular question. You will get what's best for you depending on money, their personal preference. Then if you have the money someone is selling out on some good dogs on the dog trade, they are jam up lol j/k. I just don't know buddy .

Did yall put him in the water just to comb his hair . Nice hog guys

I went to the dog trade today and picked out a name I don't see post on the hog dog section. I clicked on his profile and clicked last post and went through his post which wasn't many. Not that its wrong but all his post were about selling dogs, I know its not wrong but come on now. They come on here to pawn their trash on here and can very easily disappear with your money once the deal is made. Their whole objective is to make money and disappear. . Just be careful if you don't reconize the name go through their post history and make a smart decision.

 I agree with twilbanks, I look at how many post they have and most of them don't have many. I'm not saying that they all are trying to make a quick buck but I'm sure some of them are. I get a kick when someone says got to sale no trial need the money asap type deal, thats a theif in my book. Baically he's telling you, I'm gonna rip you off and you ain't getting your money back. I'm just wondereing how many people still buy the dog.

 Well said chainrated

I think a finished dog and a perfect dog is 2 different things. There is finished dogs out there, some peoples standards just don't mean anything to other folks. Age catches up with us and animals, we can't help we can't continue learning or getting better it's just life.
