I haven't caught wind of anyone on either side trying to convert others to their style or their dogs. What's most of this back and forth stems from is me comparing the dogs like mine, peels, crackers, budylee, and several other from this sight, to the dogs of the guys insinuating their dogs are better and more of a hog dog than anyone else's on the sight. Just merely said that not one of their kinda dogs can do what one of ours can from start to finish on a big. None of us with rough dogs were boasting or making outrageous claims of being better or having the best dogs like they were.
We run loose dogs n dont let our dogs out with rough dogs. It is all preference. Every man has an opinion, as i cull rough dogs i cant get to back up. Our loose medium range dogs catch us plenty of hogs in north la south ark. We never walk them just cast them n wait for them to bay up. I always compared dog hunters to bowhunters.... If a man shoots a mathews by God he is mathews till he dies, while a Hoyt guy would never shoot a mathews because obviously he is a hoyt guy. Each man could have bought either bow to begin with just like any man can start up a pack of dogs to his likings
