Started hog dogs or finished hog dogs?

Gotcha there are a good number of fellas in your neck of the woods. If you ain't got a lot of cash I would get a started dog that acts like he wants to find hogs and a older solid help dog this will be cheaper that a finished strike dog but will help your younger strike dog when he does strike and that leaves a cd don't go cheap I repeat don't go cheap on cd this will pay off as soon as you hunt and as you hunt you can change a dog out here and there to fit your style or like. I would not recommend a long range or big bottom dog for a guy starting out get plenty of hunts and hogs under your belt befor doing that and get a cut kit and learn how it works before you gear up
