Jam Up Dogs and what I call new hunters

[dogo24]

im 30 also and new to the sport , ive caught a few hogs with my dogs and i know for a fact that they are not great dogs and nowhere close to bein as good as i want them to be !  i know some guys that think their dogs are just the best on earth because they'll roll out to 300 to 400 yrds and SOMETIMES stumble upon a pig or two   it ticks me off when somebody hunts once a month , catches a pig and thinks the dogs are the greatest things to hit the woods !!!

Why worry about others?
Hunt for you
Feed the dogs you like
Hunt as much or little as you want
Have fun
When they only hunt once a month and have great hunts don't be fooled into thinking someone along the way didn't put the work into it!   Either they bought, stole, given or bred good dogs somewere along the way.   Or sometimes its just good old luck.

your right !  trust me,  im in it for the fun and so far im having a blast ..... learn something new every day !

Why would you not be able to hear them? Would you put out on a peice of land so crummy that there's zero hogs within a mile of it?

when you find the right line of dogs that are linebred and inbred then you can have these hunting traits consistently...

but some of the style/range has to do with the dog handling...if you hunt fast and don't wait on the dogs these same dogs will look for hotter tracks and will not range out too far...but once they get on one they should stick...

The same dogs with a slow moving handler that keeps an eye on all the dogs moves and waits on the dogs when they want to work a track can have dogs of the same type you are talking about...These dogs will range out and when they are satisfied there are no hogs in the area they will check in...then if you don't move on they will range further out on the next round...these same dogs will learn to take a colder track because they know you are hunting with them...

 I was fortunate to hunt with some very old dog men since I was very young. Thier definition of a good dog is not the same as most folks today. Most "hunters" never get to watch a hunting dog work long enough to understand what they are watching.
