I'm with you Ryan. I'm gonna get my dogs, whatever the cost. But, I will exhaust every legal and neighborly way to do it before I just go get them. Sometimes though, the situation dictates using other means. And then, if caught, all I could do would be man up and accept the consequences.
Txhogsanddogs: How did you train that kind of obedience into your superman dog? Did you do it, or did you pay to have him trained?
For me, there is no way in he11 I can call ANY of mine off a hog when they're face to face with it.
I've had him since a pup so I would say I trained him. I just use his name like I'm talking to my own daughter. It takes some yelling but he will. Now if I make the hog break before he comes out I will have to start over at the next stopping point. I think what most people are trying to say is under most circumstances there is a way around getting onto someoe elses place wether it's hunting bigger places and laying off the aller places orbjust knowing the layout out of every property you hunt before you hunt it. 500 yards or whatever your dog might range start calling for them prior to gettin to the fence. NOT hunting the all the way to the fence just to see if they will strike or not. Guys I've been there specially when hog hunting is new. I've been in the woods for a while and it took a long time to were off but it today's time it's not worth the chance.
