how to get a strike dog to hunt and find hogs? need help real bad
Not to be rude but a "strike dog" ain't a "strike dog" until it is consistantly finding hogs in the woods.
I would show em a hog in a pen a few times then bring em to the woods and cut em loose, bottom line.....either they are gonna have the drive and hunt in em or they ain't. Like stated above, is there a possibility that there are no hogs in the area. If i were in your situation i would find a cpl waterholes....ponds, creeks or even ditches holdin water, buy you a cpl bags of corn and dump em around the water.....this will improve your odds of concentrating hogs which in turn will improve your chances of your dogs hitting good sign and catching you hogs......im not sayin to do this forever but it will help the odds of your pups hitting hogs, theres not a dang thing wrong with doin what you can to help your dogs succeed. Hope this helps.
