Good looking dogs bud..

I like a hound cur cross all my dogs are about 3\4 hound they hunt out a few hundred yard still check in longer you sit the further they go sometimes you will have to go to them . I can still pull a quick hunt with them if I pick them up after they check in the 1st or 2nd time. Alot hound these days I've seen aren't any better than a good cur but when you find a good hound they are hard to beat but you better bring plenty of beer you may be there a while and they sound so good grinding out a cold trail.

I read a book on Ben Lilly believe he liked a dog with some collie in it or at least hunted a few on big game.

I have a great catch dog you wouldn't think he would harm a fly he's kill 2 of my best dogs all my fault for not having him secured properly I should have killed him but now he is secured and can't get out I've owned him so long I just couldn't do it he's caught alot of hogs never fights in the woods dogs 8 going on 9 we all have regrets and things we should have done differently hope you get back going soon and sorry for you bud.

I read somewhere a German Shepherd was used guess any dog could do it . I was watching Nat Geo and they had a show on about the wild dogs of Africa them dogs would run the wheels off one haha I'd like to have one.

Need my old dog I guess she was 12-13 had 4 raised 2 but she wasnt a good mother.

Fish fertilizer and corn work well but dont get it on you smells like death but a hog has no trouble finding it.

I like the Hondas my brother has a 700 I think axels and a arms seem tighter but we just rebuilt his brakes and put a starter on it not had near the problems I've had he put 30" tires on it doesn't pull them well.

That's a sweet rig.

I'm getting tired of putting bearing in my ranger thinking hard on the Samurai as I am convinced there is no such thing as a dependable Side by Side out there I paid $16000 for mine and I think I have probably spent another $2000 on it since 2015 it hasn't left me stranded but always seem like it needs something done to it 5000 miles on it now hell I'd be pissed if I had to change brakes and wheel bearings in a truck at 5000 miles  I believe they engineer these things to fail to keep you shucking out money. Anyone use a Samurai? Will they go where a Ranger can and are they reliable I have never sat in one but they look about the same size.

When I started out I hunted alone and I always thought it would be nice to have some company.
Then as I met new people that had dogs and got new leases to hunt I had all the company you would want.
Went on a hunt last month there were so many spectators there me and my buddy had to walk away from the group to hear if the dogs were baying.
I enjoy going by myself now and then you can pay attention to your dogs more.
Nice Hog and dogs bud.

Nice dogs t-dog

This is some video of some of my dogs with a couple buddy's and their dogs.

The first real good dog I owned was a dog named Copper a friend gave me as a put he was half Catahoula half English looked a lot like a mountain cur hard hunting always busy and honest not a super nose but good I bred him to 3 good gyps a Red tick  a Doebelly and a gyp latter pulled dna on was English BMC Greyhound mix . Me and my brother have 4 dogs that all go back to the male they all hunt about the same 500-600 yard loops usually further on the first cast and they will get deeper longer you stay all quiet till ones jumped then open but not like a full hound. They don't have super noses I think they can can take a few hour old track and do OK with it they work good where I hunt smaller dogs some black and tan some brindle I may eventually throw a full hound in the mix they hut best in pair's or maybe they have gotten used to hunting that way I don't get to hunt a lot so I try to carry them all when I go .

Wow!

How far out does he hunt? What line is he out of? Has he had pups before?

Well my brother used the gyp today she caught 4 and he said she did a hell of a job was quiet on the atv only issue he had with her he said she pulls a little going to the bay so im glad for that he sent another pic of the male I guess hes between 70-80 Lbs hes lean and tall I may just have to try him out see how it goes. I been reading up on them they sound like the cat meyow time to find out thanks for the post I will update on the full males progress.

Good hogs 4 sure.

Apreciate the kind words yall I picked that bridle and white one up on a dirt rd 8yrs ago hes been a good catch dog. Cajun looks like yall wearing them out down in the swamps that just looks like fun till the gators come out haha.

Finally able to get the dogs out after deer season still a little corn in the feeders my favorite time of the year. First hunt kicked out my Michelle gyp and my young dog Gretta they bayed up a whad cut Luke and Red loose caught a good boar Reds first catch he got knocked off once but got back on an ear.
Second hunt bayed another bunch Killed a good sow and the dogs went to feasting on pigs they got 4 before we got them caught grilled the sow sent the pigs to a super bowl party.
