Curcross you explained exactly what I meant. Mr. Oinker I'm not tryin to be a dick, I'm just surprised that if you have hunted with guys for awhile that they have not offered something that would get you started.
They only feed about 3 dogs at a time, if one gets killed they either try to use a favor and get another or they start over with pups. That being said most of the people they gets dogs from act like its pulling teeth to let go of a dog so the whole "friend of a friend" thing doesn't work so well.
If you'll read what you wrote again, you'll realize what Wayoutwest meant. They act likes it's pulling teeth to get a pup cuz they don't know you. Now if you spent quite a bit of time catching hogs with em and letting them learn you watch you prove yourself to them, chances are you wanted have to ask for a pup, they'd ask you to raise one.
