im 30 also and new to the sport , ive caught a few hogs with my dogs and i know for a fact that they are not great dogs and nowhere close to bein as good as i want them to be ! i know some guys that think their dogs are just the best on earth because they'll roll out to 300 to 400 yrds and SOMETIMES stumble upon a pig or two
it ticks me off when somebody hunts once a month , catches a pig and thinks the dogs are the greatest things to hit the woods !!!
Why worry about others?
Hunt for you
Feed the dogs you like
Hunt as much or little as you want
Have fun
When they only hunt once a month and have great hunts don't be fooled into thinking someone along the way didn't put the work into it! Either they bought, stole, given or bred good dogs somewere along the way. Or sometimes its just good old luck.
your right ! trust me, im in it for the fun and so far im having a blast ..... learn something new every day !
