what a name bud!
If you search "vest" from the main forum page you will find many posts, opinions and sales of different styles and brands of vests. You can search GOOGLE beyond that. Just search hog dog cut vests and collars. Pretty pricey though for what may be only one hunt.
My opinion!

Your in the wrong part of the country to try and start a hog-doggin addiction... Unless your financially able (300-400 a hunt) to go often your dogs wont get the training they need to be any good.
best of luck to ya!
