I been huntin a new part of the country due to a temporary move and all we got here is runners. Seems to me the only thing we get is the crack head echisketch. We have also had two boars that my lacy dog struck and soon as we got close for one of the other dogs (dogs in training basically) to go to her, the hog breaks right when they get there, does a loop, then comes back and tries to hunt us down. Both these boars ran strait through our groupe, one of them got my buddy, Zach, in the leg then he did the echisketch in about a two mile diameter around us for four and a half hours before I started callin lacy back, the other did the same thing to me but I got out the way and started callin her back right away and called it a night.

One thing I have noticed is when my buddies dogs fell out quick, it was dogsthat ain't gettin off the chain but about once a week. which might be the same issue alot of other people are having. It's not that the dogs ain't good or don't have bottom, but that the dogs ain't legged up and ready to hunt to their full potential. Heck, one of the dogs that fell out a couple times was a plot hound. And from the ones I seen, that breed in general has some bottom. But it's hard to run a marathon when you been sittin on your rear end not training for it.

I'm not doggin on people that don't have there dogs legged up and are losing pigs cuz of it. I know people got jobs and school and whatnot, me and all my buddies are students so I don't complain when we can't get my lacy dog some help. But in my opinion, hog dogs are like anything in life, you get out of them what you put in them. If I don't get a chance to hunt, I'll hit some back roads for a couple hours and make the dogs run with the truck a couple times a week cd included, and I don't ever have a problem with my dogs stickin to pigs, my dogs just have a problem with me not havin enough bottom haha!
