I am all for discussion that pushes people to think... no good will come from all the chest beating. Numbers? I don't know numbers, never cared to tally. I don't care to compete with other hunters, the competition is between my brain, dogs and hogs. Hog hunting is challenging enough without dealing with all the tough guys. So NO, i wont throw out a number, but i will keep on hunting and working dogs despite what is posted on the internet.
Good for you man! I like your style and agree with your way of hog dogging. Who cares about numbers and judging this guy against that guy based on their numbers. You sound like you really get enjoyment out of hog dogging for the same reasons me and a lot of others do. When i first went hog dogging I was with an egotistical guy who ruined it for me. He had good dogs, just his short fuse during adversity turned me off for a long time. Another guy with your attitude was how I took a second look at hog dogging and took a liking to it. I bet you are a lot of fun to hunt with.
