Training Pups

Sorry, didn’t mean to post that yet. Anyways, took a few hunts of running him down like that and now he loads right up. He realized it’s a lot more fun to load up and get cast somewhere else than it is to chase the truck lol. I’m hoping that my new Ranger will be here in the next few weeks and that will take over as my primary hunting rig. I’ve had the chance to hunt out of them a couple of times over the last 2 years and really enjoy it. I enjoy walking as well, but this will just be another tool at my disposal to use when going to certain properties. I plan to tie some pigs off, maybe 100yds inside the woods off the edge of roads, and then ease the buggy down the road on the down wind side to get my dogs rigging better. My dogs will rig from the boat but most of the places they do are places that I can’t cut them loose unfortunately. Most of the places that we can turn out on, the hogs are deeper off the water so the dogs don’t get very many opportunities to rig and actually be sent on what they’re rigging. From a training standpoint I hate to see them going crazy smelling hog and not be able to cut em loose. I think this is a very efficient way to hunt though. When we do our annual WMA hunt we scout for sign the day before it opens and then we turn out on those spots we like the following morning. After that first day the hogs are all scattered from getting ran by so many people so we just put my buddy Shane’s Pepper dog on the box the 2nd and 3rd day of the hunt and let her rig and then we turn out where she opens and we catch a lot of pigs like that.
