Kennels are the only way to go. All my strike dogs are on cement and bull dogs on chains. I have to worm and fedd extra to the bull dogs. If i did'nt have stray dogs come to my house trying to breed my bitches the bull dogs would be on cement too.

I catch and cut boars all year and love to catch a good barr just like the next hog hunter. This is what I see the problem is with having them in a tournament, not everybody can or has the country to cut boars and re-catch them so that gives them a disadavanage. We all know how big a barr can get and how fast it happens with the right feed. A boar hog will not gain weight that fast even with the right feed. I have entered any many tournaments and have won and lost with a barr. But here is the catch in the tournaments HOGS ARE NOT TO BE PRE-HANDELED BEFORE THE TOURNMENT.... There is no way around that with barr hogs. I do think there needs to be a side pot for biggest barr.
