hello there my fellow okie...
thats a good one man , they will all be different. i would say it gona be past a year old, and even after that they are going to have a hard time out doing the old dogs. so un less you hunt them by there self it gona be hard to find out.

I have had several around 6-7 months strike their own hogs... But that was on hunts with only pups no grown dogs.. So I would say somewhere around there

I'll agree with the others, that each dog is different but what hasn't been mentioned is the factor of the amount of ground time a dog has been given. A three or four year old dog that hits the woods once a month may still not have it figured out, where a year old dog that runs several times a week might be going like crazy. Dogs learn by repetition.
What I pay a lot more attention to in very young pups is not whether their striking hogs, but how they hunt. A dog that shows independance and is not afraid to leave out and look just tells me it's a matter of time before things start to click.

I couldn't agree more Bryant. They have to have the hunt in them, then you can teach them what you want them to hunt
