I track hunt and free cast.wen i was a kid daddy had a few cats that would only bay boars are barrs,on the home place training pups he never let dogs bay sows .always big barrs and boars,he didnt have shock collar,just a old fashion butt kicking,after a few of them,they learned. Are didnt stay there long.sows were like gold,some times would bay a group,wen we would ride up on horse them old cat would run in and catch a boar are a barr,we would mark are kill to eat after dragging home alive,he would find a big track turn dogs,if they went out,and came back it was a sow are to old to smell.if they opened it was a male hog,in them days a mile race was a long one ,kinda off subject,i belive if you train your dogs on big boars and barrs you have a better chance at having a straight boar dog.i have one now that came from east texas.that still amazes me.

Just because a dog leaves out on a track and smells around and knows a hog has been there doesn't necessarily mean he's cold. Yes, the dog knows the hog was there, but so do I, and I can move the track no further then he can. When I say cold, I mean a dog that takes a track and moves it. I've hunted with some good hounds and curs, more often then not the hounds will tend to mud hole a track where as a cur dog will just quit it and go on.
I've hunted with and owned cur dogs that could hardly move a track with the hog standing in it, so comparing hounds to them doesn't hold much water.

early on I had BMC and catahoulas that I was not happy with...Also had a cold nosed hound that 3 or 4 hours after starting a track would jump/bay a boar...was not happy with either style...started running the large mt curs with a one time cross with BMC and that was the best dogs I ever had...working on getting the same type of dogs again...but most mt curs are small with little ears which I do not care for...have seen plenty of hound crosses that I like...I am not an expert on hounds by any means but don't care for a pure bred one...but in reality I will take any breed that hunts like I like that has the looks...and the physical ability and appearance as well...but even great dogs get outran...one day after a hunt we go home with a good feeling and the next hunt we go home without catching one...dogs get beat for many reasons...usually heat and thick briars where the dogs can't keep up... a hound with a one track mind that won't get off that old track is a good dog for trophy boar hunting and hunting that style... A cold nosed cur that hunts with the cur dog mentality is the type of dog I like...I had a good one that when he got old he quit hunting hard...started hunting smart...he cast out quick and fast when the taigate dropped and if he came back you could bet there were no hogs around...he would stay close while the other dogs hunted and hunted...then all of a sudden he slinked off quietly and it might be a half mile or more and he would be bayed up...he also smelled tracks that the other curs would not respond to...at ten months old he was awesome and at a year old he was as good as my best dog who was his uncle...he was a trail blazer at a young age and struck first then as well as an old dog due to his smarts and colder nose, IMO... Who else has a good line of BMC that have a cold nose? |

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
A hunting dog is born not made...

Why just BMC's, I know that's the title, but heck any line of cur dogs that produce these type dogs is worth a look at no matter the color.
