I use to hunt them during the first 30 days only. Never on the second 30 days.

that's what i'm talking about , my old plot gyp bell was a real loose baying dog she wasn't bred , but a bad hog in a thicket where she couldn't get out of the way fast enough ended her career . now my beagles and coon hounds I would hunt till their bellies were draggin the ground lol .

Seen a guy at a competion coon hunt bring a heavy bred female one night. He won the cast put the dog in the box and went to the clubhouse.. when he got there he checked on her and she had puppies! Don't believe id hunt a hog dog at all though.. I have several dogs that don't get cut much but you never know when they get in a big thicket. Only takes one bad situation and you may regret it forever

I guess it comes down to how bad you want the pups. And if your willing to risk the loss of them. Its hunting and you never know what can happen. One good hit or fall in the creek and your up chit creek. Not to mention the strain on your gyp and. Weather or not you could have pups out of her again. She's your dog hunt her hard if that's what you wanna do.

Hunting them will do them some good. Labor is hard work they need to be in shape to make it go as easy as possible. Now if their is a high chance of them getting injured I would note take that chance. But keeping them in shape and not letting them get fat while pregnant will do wonders for when they go into labor and when they start to lactate. It is well worth the calculated risk of taking one hunting during the first half until they start to get big

If it's a litter you have high hopes for put her up and let her relax and eat good..

if she were a coon dog or a rabbit dog I would say hunt her until 4 or 5 days prior to whelping...I am a believer that the pups will be better hunting dogs because of the dam hunting late in her pregnancy...
