this has shure been interesting reading..

im shure most of my hunts are like everyone elses, if 3 or 4 guys go we end up with to many dogs on the ground.
i have a freind, his rule is one man one dog, i really like that deal but it makes some guys mad..    guys that want to take every dog they own dont get invited to go with me if they arent willing to just bring 1 or 2 dogs..     

im probably too picky about what i hunt my dogs with but in this country rough dogs dont last long, all my dogs are loose bay dogs, and you put a rough dog in the pack and it changes the whole deal, i can no longer relax if my dogs get 2miles away with this rough dog in the mix. ( im talking about a catchy rough dog ) cause my dogs are going to tighten up on the hog with a dog like that.  thats when time is your worst enemy, if it takes 1 to 2 hrs to get to them dogs  , that gives a big hog alot of opurtunity to cut those dogs if they arent giving him a little respect.

  i want my bay dogs to turn a hog and back up and bay, i always take 2 catch dogs, i have been in to many situiations were one was not enough, split bay, cur dogs rolled out, ect.

my ideal pack is 3 loose bay dogs with 2 lead in catch dogs.

the thing to remenber is not all of the hogs across the country are the same nor are the dogs so everyone has to put together a set of dog that works for them in there country.
