Well I can tell you this:
1-You are not gonna take a pack of mutts and let them find hogs for you on a consistent basis unless you are over run with hogs. Put them dogs down with a track dog and that one dog will make that pack loom like an idiot.
2-You're not going to CONSISTENTLY get a mutt from a pound that can produce a hog by itself on a regular basis. Just ain't happening.
3-I hunt pretty hard in the summer and I don't run vests so saying people who don't run gear don't like their dogs not true. And if you're consistently catching big hogs, you will get a dog killed sooner or later. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. If you wanna play, sooner or later you'll pay the piper
that why I keep up with my dogs and I scout the areas so I know what hogs im hunting and hunt the dogs that I know can handle the hogs im after, I have been doing this for some 15 years now and have listened to hog hunters that have hunted 30 and 40 years. Its a matter of learning and I learn something every time I go out. I have never claimed to know everything but I do know that to catch the number of hogs I do and the size I do and not loose a dog i must be doing something right and must have learned everything that has been taught to me and must be training my dogs right as well.
Just to throw it out there for all my fellow hog hunters, especially cward, dogginhogs guide service IS NOT A WORKING WEBSITE. I was wanting to book a hunt with this superb hog dog trainer so i can learn something from the best there is but the website didnt exist. Guess his training techniques do not exist either since he cant answer the question..
T-BOB, I wonder if dogginhogs and salty dog are related..or the same!!!!!
Man I've missed a lot in the past few days lol
