Semmes, I enjoyed reading that and know exactly what you mean about not wanting to hunt with that dog anymore. The original male to the line I’m trying to work with now was like that. He was going to find and bay hogs, period. The guy that mentored me and that hunted that dog would often post a picture to Facebook because he lost track and couldn’t find him. Then a day or so later a farmer would call him and say I’ve got that yella dog Bo down here baying a hog, 10 miles from where you turned him out. He was a great dog but he had absolutely no quit and no end to his range. Many a people were broken from hunting behind that dog because it would turn in to a 12 hour search just trying to get him back out of the swamp and when you wanted to leave you better grab that dog before the hog. I know some guys offered thousands and thousands of dollars for that dog, and there are guys that would give everything on their yard for a dog like that. He would pull a hog out of a Walmart parking lot if you turned him loose. But I read a statement that was posted by someone on here that went something like “it’s a lot more fun to say you own a dog like that, than to actually let him off the chain.”

Personally, that was more bottom and range than I would ever want in a dog nowadays. A lot more stress too unless you have endless amounts of land
