OK,....guess I can't pass this one up.
I'm 60 and been hog hunting with dogs since I was in my 20s.....does that make me an old timer? lol
Ok,.....some simple....(Lord I love things that are simple)....advice if you want to call it that.
When you're with folks that know more than you....LISTEN, LISTEN,.....LISTEN. Say little and when you do......say it with humility.
If you have good dogs, then trust them,.....I've been guilty of this at times and every time I don't trust my dogs, they make a fool out of me...trust them, they probably know more about this than you do.
TAKE CARE OF YOUR DOGS....no exceptions to this. They deserve it.
Don't let this consume you....don't get so hard on yourself and your dogs that it stops being fun to hunt.
Thank the Lord every day that you can do this thing that you love.
And above all.....be a man of character!!!! I cannot stress this enough. Do what you say you will.....period. Your reputation will get you more places to hunt than you can imagine. Get away from people that have little or no character....they will ruin your reputation. Attach yourself to people OF character......they will be your best ally.
