Winding…

Austesus I think it’s a combo of genetics, learning from older dogs they are hunted with, and those early games I play with them. I’m kinda a mix between Reubens train of thought and the old mans way of thinking. I want to pick the most natural and instinctive pup in a litter and I don’t think you gotta do all the testing to get that pup, just paying attention to them is usually enough for me. That being said I do think that a pup that is challenged during adolescence has a head start when the live action starts. From my experience the naturals start contributing after a handful of hunts. The pups that mock hunted or were played with while growing up almost go on their first real hunt thinking they’re already hog dogs and the number of hunts is cut down even more. Some would say what’s the rush and my answer would be that the prime hunting weather is very limited. Every species on earth doesn’t thinks less when it gets tired or hot and even less when it gets tired and hot. The fewer new things they are being exposed to the more “HOG” knowledge they are able to retain. So things like winding hogs are noticed and learned instead of the mind set of oh damn why is everybody taking off so fast? That’s just my way of thinking.
