i put it like this i killed and caught a BUNCH of hogs with my curs . i personally like the curs that I have . but when i was doing hog control on the ranch or the farmland i couldn't be there all the time and i got me some dogs that i could take to the field several hours after i was called . or when we hit the ranch and i seen a several hour old wallow with BIG hog tracks . i got me some more dogs and guess what kind they were ? you becha i got me some good ol hound dogs . i love cutting one single track coming across a road no tellin just when it crossed and putting dogs out and going after that one paticular hog . and now seems like all i see is people lookin for some hound blood . hogs are no longer free ranged domesticated livestock they is WILD animals and they are outta control . and should be hunted as such . so ya''ll just hunt your cur dogs and i'll hunt my cur dogs and hounds and hound crosses and we'll all have a good time and kill some pigs . we can all catch hogs with whatever kinda dog will chase a hog and that should be all there is to it to each his own . been some stupid stuff said in this thread . see ya gotta go feed my hounds
