me and my buds lost our hunting spot and only got to go once in a wile if we got invited , hunting spots are hard to come by in south fl. i started wondering if it was worth feeding and taking care of dogs that were only hunting a few times a year plus i felt bad for my dogs i was loosing sleep over it! Then one day my friend calls me up all excited says he met a guy through work that owned a few orange groves that took his number and said maby he would give him a call if he had a prob with hogs my bud had allready got rid of his dogs but i still had mine, we were all happy for a month or so until we decided he would not call then i was back in the same boat a pack of dogs and nowhere to hunt but i held onto my dogs and figured they were forgetting how to hunt and feeling bad about it. Then one day about 8mths later from out of the blue the guy calls my buddy and says were on. The guy wanted us to come out and meet him and see what the dogs could do I was so nervis my dogs had not been on a hog in a long time and i wasent sure if they still had it i thought they might not do to good and the guy would say no thanks but figured we had nothing to loose. So we loaded up to meet the guy get to the grove and cut the dogs loose they head out about 100yds and bay i am thinking coon great so we get to bay and holy sh#$ its a huge boar hog i cut my red nose rose loose and caught hog. The guy seams very impressed and says them some good dam dogs (lol) gives up the combos to the gate and to another bigger spot and  we have been hunting them spots for the last year.     Funny thing is the next couple of times we went we got smoked but the dogs are dooing great now hope it lasts a while
