Thanks for the responses. Most of the time they ride rodes and game pick up trails and let the hogs hunt through the woods and the rodes while we ride behind them. Sometimes they will walk the dogs themselves through cutovers etc. Another question is about how much would a few good dogs cost that hunt and find hogs themselves cost? I was thinking about getting some finished dogs and working with there pups in the long run.
That's the million dollar question lol hunt high and low and don't buy anything without seeing it hunt. To me $800-1200$ is a good price for a good not great dog but that's just what I see myself spending on one. I guess the real question you gotta ask is what can I pay for one.
