Good point judge, to clarify I do NOT bring my youngsters to woods that have any hogs in em, I bring em to my little deer hunting spot that the hogs have never been seen on and work em there on a small hog in a controlled environment at that age. You can absolutely ruin a young dog by bringin him too early BUT if the stars align and everything work out right you can dang sure get a pup started and fired off real good too.......... really it boils down to each individual hunter and what they prefer. Theres more than one way to skin a cat......err.........to start a pup
