You bet, be glad too. I don't remember what all they had back then. I do know that after the first time I went with them, I was hooked! I bought my first, sure nuff strike/bay dog from them, and they gave me 2 blue pups that were cat/bmc crosses, plus a leg/jaw catch dog, lol! Not sure whether to thank them or curse them, (just joking)! Ive hunted hogs since the early 90's with a gun until I went with them and figured out what I had been missing out on. Now it's about the only fun thing a busted up ole guy like me can do and still be legal and moral at the same time! Ive since evolved to crossing my dogo to my 3 females, 1 cat, 1 lacy, and 1 bmc/pit. I am in an area where there are quite of few hogs, but because of the deer hunting, it's tough to get on very much country to hunt with dogs. I do have access to about 2000 acres I can run on but I am also trapping the same areas. So I am attempting to get a cross (like everybody else it seems) that will strike quick, bay quick, and keep a hog bayed up, and catch if it needs to stop a runner, until I can get to them with my lead-in. They need to be able to do all this before they cross property lines! We have 10 acres that is covered in cedars/mesquite real thick on our place and I am fixing to fence it off to mock hunts, plus put in a bay pen on one end. Anyway, I didn't mean to talk your ear off, just got carried away. I work nights and when I'm not out with the dogs, I am in the shack reading the post on this forum, that's how I came across yours. If any of you ole timers out there have an opinion on my plans, please fire away, everybody's welcome and I got thick skin!
