My husband has hunted since he was 10 every single night of the week until we moved far enough away to only do it on the days off. I hunted in school with family and friends on the weekends, typically after working cows and not having anything better to do.
We run gritty Fl Curr dogs out of a long line that my husband's childhood mentor raises and have bred some of our own off of it. We hunt primarily cane but our dogs are versitile and do not discreminate on terrain although the more open land it is the farther they go
they will wear most other people and their dogs out...We have catch dogs that we use on occassion when the currs need a little backup or if there is something trying to sneak past us thats way ahead of the curr dogs.
In total we have 4 finnished wind/trail/bay dogs, 2 CD's, 7 curr puppies and 1 red tick x walker hound puppy. We typically run no more than 2 - 3 dogs on the ground and rotate with whom ever is bringing their dogs. The dogs wiind from the truck 95% of the time but will trail if needed to figure out a track. Here in the last year we have been using the Ranger, which is a little different for them.
We hunt because we love to, it is good times with close friends and family for story telling/carrying on....not to mention the thrill of the bay or watching the dogs cut out across a field after a big one. We both have a passion for starting young dogs and watching them come into their own, knowing that we were able to afford them the opportunity to do what they were bred for and what they love to do!
Of all the addictionss there is hog hunting is our choice!
