some of ya'll ever stop and think about that.
i got started over 10 yrs.ago on 1 little outing ,yote huntin.
been a misty day not many yotes but i happened to see group of hogs in a forty acre patch of mesquite.in the middle of nowhere.called my sonwho had been hoggin with the local legend ,around here anyways.hesaid we'll get some dogs loaded and be right there.bout 1 1/2 later i get to see my first HOGDOG? run around like an idiot for 2 hours in a 5 acre johnson grass patchtryin to find i know at least 10 hogs in it,heck i could see em have the time myself.but that dig couldnt never get get found. they were bustin out and the legend was tryin to dump bulldogs right on top pigs from his yota we were in.
the last hog busted out of there and the only one after it was a bulldog. the hog made it 1/2 mile and the legend had his nephew dump wolf dogs out of the box to catch the pig.not what i was expectin in ahog hunt. i made up my mind that i would find me some dogs that would do the job right . 1000.00 dollars and a few hundred miles thanks to an elderly gent in Mckinney we had our first set of dogs and DAM LOOK AT ALL THE MONEY WE SPENT SINCE:-\.but weve had a blast at it.wish i woulda started when i was younger tho. bout 30 yrs ago

started with a lacy that trained her self shooting over them didnt know no different till my dad got a ridgeback/lacy and started looking for a dog just happened to find it on the net and went with a few guys that actually caught hogs and man it has been down hill for me ever since. Funny how i went from shooting them to never wanting to shoot another one again just catch them lol

i went when i was a little boy first time hog hunting and i got to lead in the cd he was a big american i was probably 8 the older man might have helpled me some but we caught 5 that morning and when i got home i had to sit my daddy down and tell him all about it and i still remember everything about that day, them men ruined me, when i was about 16 i got me some mutts, i mean dogs on the side of the road and just did the best i could, and about 19 i started hunting with a old man and he is known to have the best dogs around here and been hunting with him ever since, hogs is the only thing i hunt i dont deer hunt anymore only hogs but i hope its still around when i decide to have kids so i can ruin them to, i think hog hunting is the only thing that kept me out of trouble growing up cause we couldnt run the roads all night and get up that morning and hunt so we was home early everynight

i had a freind in the 7th grade tell me about his uncles dogs and how they catch pigs and for the next ten years i just wished and waited. when i was 22 i bought my dog Gator and worked him with the dogs of a bunch of guys around the place i lived then but very quickly came to the realization that i shouldnt be hanging out with a few of them, not talking crap cuz i was a terd too, but they had a different moral code than i was comfortable with so i started going to a couple feilds that had hogs with just me and Gator and i would glass for hogs, then walk him in to the wind towards them and turn him loose. he would then either catch them or i would shoot it and let him play.after i found this place i found a heck of a dog mentor and hunting partner and hes taught me alot and passed me some good dogs.

A friend was talking about his grandpa's ranch. He said they had a hog problem. I said that did not sound like a problem. I can shoot real good. But my dad told me he knew people that used dogs to catch hogs. I kept asking him who but he never introduced me. So I started searching the internet. Got ripped off on a few dogs but I finally got a dog I thought might work. I had found this site and asked for a small hog. I got one and put it in a pen and brought the cur dog up. When I saw that dog start baying I was in love. I went on my first hunt and I knew I loved it. I do not like to talk about the military because my career was cut short. But the bond I have with my dogs makes me feel good again. I may not be able to run good but I sure can find the energy again. I mostly love the dogs. I have also met many good people too.

Started shooting hogs over dogs 15 yrs ago then one day my big black catahoula cought one and i grabbed it and killed it with my pocket knife. Well the next week he cought a bigger one. Well fast forward to today and here i am completly addicted to the sport that my wife calls it my girlfriend because i spent more time hunting or if i am not hunting i am thinking or talking about hunting or dogs.
