Lets get familiar

Well, I grew up in East Texas and we hunted hogs however we could. I guess the real reason I like hunting hogs with dogs is there is an element of danger that gets my heart pumping. I mean lets get real, anyone can shoot a deer or a hog for that matter, with a rifle or bow, but it takes a little more grit to go in and catch one with a pack of mutts. Here in NM, we don't have the population that there is back home, but there are hogs and as long as there are a few rooting around I'll get after them as much as life allows. I run just about any kind of dog that will run one, open or silent it doesn't matter to me. Right now I have a 3/4 bluetick 1/4 cat. that will rig one off the wheeler on occation. He would be my main find dog. My other three are two hound gyps,one grade lion bred bluetick and one redtick, and one 1/2 jagd 1/4 plott 1/4 ridgeback gyp. If you haven't hunted behind a dog that is part or full jagd you need to try one. You wouldn't think such a little dog could do so much. I just want to say thanks to everone on this forum, I love getting on here and hearing stories and seeing pics. of hunts back home. Some times I can almost smell the green briar and youpon.
