atvs horses or walking

I've done all three over the years. Hunting on foot sucks! I did alot of walk hunting when I was young. You can't cover near as much country on foot, especially this time of year in this heat. Before the wife and kids started hunting with me I preferred hunting horse back but now its easier to load 4 wheelers than catch, saddle, and haul a pile of horses. Horses and 4 wheelers each have their advantages and disadvantages. You can sneak up on a bay easier on a horse. It doesn't take much to make a hog break and run these days. You can go alot of places on a horse that you can't go on a four wheeler. On a horse you can ride real close to the bay and cut the catch dog loose. If you try to get close on a 4 wheeler they will usually break. But using a catch dog with a horse can create big problems if you don't know what you are doing. Not every bull dog will try to catch your horse but most will, especially when you start to trot or lope. A bull dog hanging off your horses nose is not fun, that I promise you! If you don't mind using small bull dogs like around 35-40 pounds then you can carry them in the saddle with you and just ride up to the bay and drop them on the ground, I used to do that alot. If you decide to use horses let me know and I will tell you how to break them to lead without catching your horse. The down side to horses is that they get tired and you can't run them wide open all the time if you need to like you can a four wheeler. It's hard to carry out a wounded dog on a horse. They will usually die before you get back to the truck. There is also the additional expense of keeping and maintaining a horse vs. a four wheeler.
