Without a doubt curs are better.  Hounds just eat.

CBK, that is the first step to recovery....admitting to yourself the truth    Next you will have pics of spotted,yella and brindle dogs....ha ha

I'm going to give all my wanna be hog hunting hounds away.  I'm looking for a poodle so that I can teach it to do tricks.  It will be just as productive.   

Scratch that.  I'll keep these show dogs I currently have.

Awww man I am just pickin.....I have a soft spot for a ticked up ole hound just don't have one on the place now....but sure won't feed a dang ole holestien

i really like curs, but with that being said my favorite is a bmc/plott cross.

never had any true experience w/ a full blood hound.

Agteach........Hunts with Curs are shorter because they find the hogs faster and are capable of actualy baying a hog and doing it right so It don't take long to take care of business.   Now as for hounds well I wont go there, because there involves to much trail barking and long races.  haha

Mike.....we all know that the best hog dogs were common curs, work a day dogs with no label and who knows what color

Let me say this.  When my dad started hunting hogs close to 30 years ago, he had some hounds for coon hunting and Cur dogs for working cattle.  He started to use them both on hogs and lets just say he does'nt have any hounds anymore and it did'nt take 25 years to figure it out either.  He did have a few good hounds over the years.

I believe you may be on to something there. 

Truth of the matter is, we all feed what we feed.  No changing that.

Your right. And even if someone said they would pay my feed but I had to use their style of dogs I would have to say no thanks. Its all preference and I dont look at it as hounds vs curs but more as hounds/ curs.

[Cutter Bay Kennels]

Worded perfectly in my opinion.

WOW!! This is like bringing a knife to a gun fight, a hound man on a cur dog board.  i aint skeered. LOL!!
Well, i dont just hog hunt, i bear, and coon hunt too, but only cause we aint got many hogs. If this was a bear hunting board ande you fellers were talking about hunting bear with curs  it would be the same thing only in reverse.  I hunt full hounds on bear, wouldnt even consider trying it with a cur, now on the other hand, i have cought ALOT of hogs with a full hound, an old red bone female i had named "Jill" (R.I.P.)  no 8 hr races there, when she struck it wasnt long before she was bayed, she was fast, and gritty, and a real track dog. I think this is where alot of people are getting down on these hounds, just cause it will bark at a hog in a pen dont make it a hog dog.
            Same thing up here, i have talked to several people up here that have tried cur dogs from down south on hogs up here "not gonna mention breed"  and they all have said that they wouldnt give you a plugged nickel for everyone in the country, why? because they wont hunt, or get out from under your feet. now, does that mean that all curs are this way? of course not.  Thats kinda like saying that all pit bulls will turn on you and your kids. .
     As for me, so far from what i have seen i like the hound cur crosses, less mouth, but still a little, less range, and less nose, there i said it. but i still like my hounds, cause i aint affraid to get out of the road to get to a bay. lol I still like the whole "hunting" aspect of it, not just driving down a dirt rd and throwin hogs in the truck.  lol :

Hunts with curs are shorter because they can only catch the easy ones and they usually quit the hard ones and come back. You show me a cur with the heart to stay with a hound on the tough ones and I will buy him becasue somewhere in his pedigree lies a hound.

Hey there are lots of Curs out there that will do that.  Just not gonna find them from people who breed for a pretty spotted coat or black mask.  But they are'nt for sale very often and you gotta get in with the right crowd and show you understand and appreciate what a good cur dog can do.  Then after that you will get a pup out of that kinda stock and get a start in some good dogs.  Its just part of the culture around here


Ofcourse they will do that if need be, but more often than not the Curs take a hog that some hounds made look like a tough one and make him bay and look like the plain hog that he really is.  Just face it Live stock is for stock dogs not track straddlers.  As for catching the week hogs....well i believe in baying groups of hogs take a whole buch of hogs.... strong or weak it don't matter...... and bay them all together.  I also dont beleive in shoat catching and any shoat catching cur dog is a cull in my eyes.  If there are shaots around they should be bayed up right next to thier momma and daddy not streatched out while momma and daddy run off.  Besides I don't catch hogs any way I bay them up and shoot them.  Not saying my dogs are the best or better than anybody else because I know they are not just being an advocate for cur dogs.  Show me a hound that will bay right and  get the job done on hogs day in and day out and I will show you a Cur dog in his lineage  

TNhillbilly........I don't just hog hunt either I would tree the poop out of a bear there just are'nt any bears around here anymore.

Not hard feelings
