When it comes to the argument of " well, over here in my area, your dog better be _____ or you ain't catching these_______ hogs!!" I believe any one with that attitude to be full of ____
There's only a few people on here who know me in real life an know how much traveling I do for a living. I've hunted my dogs from west Texas to northern Alabama and over this coming winter and spring I've been invited to bring em to New York and Utah. They gets their butts handed to them just like everybody elses dogs do, but what I've found is good dogs are good dogs no matter where you take em. Mike, Lionandboarhunter, Cward, BigO and lots and lots of other actual dogmen could take theirs wherever they wanted to and still be measurably successful. I don't have any superdogs and I somehow still manage to catch a hog every now and again.
Hunt whatever floats your boat but always stay humble about it and don't get so caught up in thinking your way is the only way thats gonna work. My dogs cross roads, highways and even interstates every now and then, it's part of hunting.
Take care guys, no hard feelins
Agreed! I guess the point i (and i think a couple other guys) was tryin to make is sometimes alot of bottom aint necessarily a good thing. I think everyone can agree on that.
