Beginner hog hunter. What type of dogs? Advice needed.

Only you can anwser that question. No one else can anwser it . You are the one that is going to have to decide what kind of dogs you want and which way you are going to hunt long - med -short same goes for the ruff catchy kind are the back off bay kind.

There is a lot of different opinions on what short is and what long is . My dogs hunt out to 1000 yds and all inbetween most the time . Thats long to me because of the proptery I hunt and I myself dont see any sense in having any longer ranged dogs . A true 1000 yd is a long long way and a whole lotta ground to cover when its a circle around you in all directions. If you are in the pigs and your dogs cannot find them in this space you might as well hang it up any way know what I mean . Then you got to allow for the chase if you got long range back off bay dogs so the dogs may go another mile are two before the hog wears out and they bay . I dont want to run em till their lungs pop. I want to catch them in a reasonable amount of land . So you going to have to anwser that question only you know what you really want .

Its a never ending question that only you can anwser.
