hi catchinpigs, im britt garcia, bein new to this forum i hope to get to know you and everyone else better in the days ahead, man you picked a good topic, brings back alot of memories of huntin with my dad as a kid, we started out huntin horse back with a bunch a cur dogs, around 1993 we began raising a hines bred bulldog pup named Bo Jack that all my AB's go back to, it only took him a few hunts to know what his job was, he learned to stay just in sight of the horses, we hunted short range ruff dogs ranging from 200 to 400 yards and he would be somewhere in between, in a perfect world this is the ideal set up in my opinion only because it worked great for years, we didnt know how spoiled we were until 1999 when we started leading him in to get the catch on video, before,  we very seldom had races because he was at the bay in no time to catch the hog, the hog didnt have much time to decide whether he wanted to run , i know there are alot of variables to figure in with this type of scenario, the right group of dogs, even the hogs are different now, but i might give it a try if i still had horses, it was alot a fun and easy huntin, some guys i use to hunt with built some narrow boxes just big enough to stuff a bulldog in and tied em on like saddle bags,  it work pretty good till his CD got excited and bailed out of the box right on to his horses ear, then it got western, to avoid this put your exit door to the rear or just put a handle on your dog, if your gonna pursue this style of hunting do you have the time to spend with a good bull dog, i know a few guys that could send their CD in by command, but they were guys that had the horrible career of hog extermination and dog training, it must be tough, even if you dont fall into this depressing catagory,it might be worth the time you can put into it, maybe you will be blessed like we were and have it all fall into place, i wish you the best on this adventure and if theres anything i can help you with let me know, do you live in apple springs, i got a place in pollok but i just moved to denton, just wondering, thanks for your time
