Find Dogs

This was interesting....

Last year I took a farmer on a hunt, He hunts hounds....
He farms our ranch we live on....HIs Idea was we'd ride around and when his hounds opened up in the box we'd turn my cur dogs out.

I went with it, I'm a girl so i'm used to being treated like i know nothing lol!!

Well my cur dog started raisin hell in the box...so i said imma droip him there's a hog right here....The farmer with the hounds said no way.....my dogs would of smelt it and fired off in the box!!

Well i couldn't resist it, I turned out, bayed up a good ole sow, earned some respect.....laughed my way back to the truck.

Moral to the story is.....Everybody has a different opinion of what is what, and how it should hunt. No 2 hunters hunt alike huh......from my voyages to the woods w others.....

IMO a good find dog where we hunt here will go hunt out a bit, and check back in, cuz this place has too many hugs and if I dump him out i dont want him piddlin hours of daylight away when we can load up and move along to a better spot. Thats why I prefer a wind dog.......That rip dog I raised will wind/find/relay all day long....Every dog we start we try to finish that way, iy just works best around here. My projects i'm workin on now are starting to get it.....but really i dont care how they hunt as long as they produce hogs consistently!!
