Bay and shoot dogs

I agree with Texas hog dogs...I used 5 dogs and they would catch sows and smaller hog so I stuck those...big boars they would bay them and catch them if they tried to break and then release and bay...they were cautious about it and didn't get cut up very often...When I showed up I would have them catch the hog and I would stick the hog...after a time when the dogs got cut down and the hog walked off it was time for a change. I didn't want to feed a catch dog so I bought a gun and trained my dogs to back up and I shot the hog...that worked out best for me. Sometimes if the dogs were very fresh they would catch the hog and I didn't have a choice but to stick the hog.

I use a cap pistol or a 22 pistol with blanks and call the small pups to me while I shoot the pistol. When they are all around me I shoot it several times again so that they can smell the gun powder and this conditions them to gunfire. most curs will be gunshy if not conditioned as pups or young dogs...
