I really don't want to start chit. or get into a pissing match.
I want to have an honest and civil discussion/debate about why people think they need hounds to hunt hogs in areas that dont have big populations. And for those that think that way, have they ever hunted with a good cur. What do they consider good enough to get it done in thier area and why. How many hogs which they start do they actually finish. Whats the average race or do they ever bay hogs in their beds. Things like that.
I've got some potential to hunt hogs in Arkansas and will most likely take the oportunity to do it when I get the chance to get away. Its just not very easy to get away like that. But it wont be behind Hounds it will be behind curs that are proven to get it done up there. And...... next year I'm gonna do my best to make a hunt behind hounds (oh yea a Curs too)on a mountainlion or bear in Oregon. Yes I said hounds and I will enjoy hunting behind them. I don't dislike hounds they are very well suited for game such as cougar, bear, racoons. ect. I just dont think they are very well suited for livestock like hogs. And expecially not when compared to a good cur dog.
You are probably the only one who thinks your not trying to get in a pissing contest. Your the only one who keeps saying you can't catch hogs in the mountains without hounds. Its their preference what they hunt. They have already told you their OPINION on why they hunt hounds so let it go. If I was going to take someones opinion on the subject it would be guys who live and hunt up there not your opinion you gathered from who knows where.
