For the ones that have hog dogs

The lack of response to the original question somewhat show what I have suspected. A lot of people talk a lot about hunting, dogs, hogs, and their opinions about what they think and how they feel. But bottom line they don't really have what it takes to consistently get it done in the woods. I know there are people on here that catch piles of hogs that rarely post and some that are too humble to post about the hundreds they catch. I greatly respect that. Good places to hunt and hog densities definitely have a lot to do with overall totals of caught hogs, BUT hog dogs can get it done anywhere. I have often wondered how many hogs some people on here actually catch. I used to get on here believing that most people on here had more knowledge and experience than myself. But as I began to gain knowledge of my own I began to see things aren't as they appear. If you are proud of what you have, great, that is what it is all about. You feed em. I love what I have. I have had dogs for about 8 years and was lucky enough to start with good stock courtesy of my older brother. Together we have been able to breed and put together a respectable pack of dogs that WE are proud of. The dogs I have lots of people turn their noses up at. According to some they are long range cast dogs. They get out and hunt, bottom line. They are rougher than most but that's what I like. Different strokes for different folks. I get a chance to hunt a few good places and catch good numbers on those a days. Other places I may ride 15-20 miles to find a track. Either way I enjoy going. With all that being said, to answer the original question, the last few years I've managed to put my hands on around a hundred each year. My goal is to catch more than the year before. I caught 116 last year and I am at 103 this year. But I believe my dogs are better right now than they have ever been. A friend of mine summed it all up one time, he Said,"Don't put too much stock in something that will piss in its feed bowl and screw it's own mother or sister" In the end they a just dogs, some with a higher or different skill set but still dogs. I am happy with what I have and what my dogs have accomplished as should be with everyone else. If you're not maybe you should get better dogs or pick up a new hobby.
