A lot of people around us don't understand how hunting pigs with dogs work either and there are some really smart ranchers that think we just go out turn these dogs loose and they go chase the pig or they think you just go in the brush walking with a bulldog see a pig and turn dog loose on him. When you tell them hey you ever go coon hunting when you were a kid and they say ya well then I say you spent a lot of time hunting for coons not cows not deer not skunks well it's the same way with us we hunt pigs not farm animals or deer! Usually they think about it a week or so and then give a call.

Glasscock long time no see! My buddy said y'all ran into each other Sunday around Jonesboro I was doing the anniversary thing! What's been happening

My thinking is them boys in South Texas run a lot of hogs and use dogs to gather cattle the same way they bay pigs and they seem to shoot the biggest and most deer

Have you been to Meridian before?

I hate when ppl back door me or get a spot 60 acres next door and turn loose at the fence to hunt my place. And then then theres the s.o.b that go around saying dont take monty he will go back and hunt yur spots. This number 2s funny cause were I live I have more land than most of the hunters around me.I get 6 to 10 phone calls a wkend ppl wanting me to take them hunting cause there dogs need to see a hog.and most of the time I take em. Ita also funny all the young guys iv helped get started and now I dont even hear from them or get invited to go hunt with them.its funnny how this old world works anymore.but I st

x10,000,000 same chit right here

Hey it's always something ain't it. I gotta get ready for this storm she's coming thru Jonesboro right now 70 mph wind, tennis ball sized hail, and tornado warning.

Sir yes sir..

I see what your saying but the only way that could be enforced is if the hogs were in captivity which opens another can of worms in which if they were in captivity your holding pens would have to be inspected or if they got on the road and a car hit one they could sue you.

Feral hogs are not property after speaking with the government trapper and inspector for the animal health commission. On the other hand it is against the law to trespass and also against the law to shoot a hunting dog that is not posing a threat if they are treeing coons, baying hogs, hunting birds, etc that is not posing a threat doesn't matter where they are.

Game Warden here in Texas told me it's a fed offense to shoot a marked hunting dog ( one with obvious tracking collars on) and that was after he told the deer hunter that called him and said he was going to shoot my dogs if they came back across his lease.

What kind of gun you shooting there?

take that 2k put it in the bank and get you a young dog and work it hard and you will be proud to say i started and finished that dog out. best part for me about hunting is to get to see something you worked hard on develop into a true working dog. and if you dont have time to do that your in to big of a rush 

I agree to me you get more out of it when you train them yourself. But I do know people that are better off buying a dog cause they don't know how to train dogs and or don't have the patiance for pups

Agree with both here.

Me and 3 of my friends feed it also between us all we have 30+ dogs they all look very good and keep high energy levels.

My buddy lives in valley mills he owns 1450 acres had hogs all over it but don't let anyone on it with dogs because of his registered Arabian horses. But he said he shoots them all the time..

I have the same issue on my Paso Fino ranch

This subject is getting old. Let's talk about mashed potatoes or anything else.

That your catch dog on top? Good looking little ol dog.

I go through there on the way to Waco pretty regularly and have seen hogs on the Clifton side of Valley Mills several times

Ya I live back toward the Clifton-Cranfills Gap way and go hogs there. I've seen some them hogs you been catching son so I'm sure you know the deal!! Your Blaine right?

If yall go holler at me if you want help im only about 45 minutes from there

I see. Im about 20-30 minutes away I just never really have to go more than 10 or 15 minutes to hunt but still sounds good!

Hey Chris, I got a place up there i have been meaning to check out for a while now. Landowner says the hogs got his hay pastures ruined...

We were suppose to make a run Sunday but ol boy that owns it had something come up so we are gonna try next week. Suppose to have 4k acres. Guess I'll hang around Jonesboro and hit that ol river up. I'll keep you updated on it

Just wondering if the hog population is very good around there. May make a run over that way.
