couple bay dogs and lead in a bull dog all you need...teach one pup at a time and then when it is going good take one veteran dog and a pup see what happens if you call em a (BAY DOG) then let em bay they should be able to hold that hog there until the bull dog gets it caught...i found that more bay dogs the more chance it breaks and then you runn the hog a while..which in the long run takes chances away from catching more hogs or flushing them hogs to other land owners which you might not be able to hunt...something to think about.. but if what you do works then do it "dont fix something that aint broke "

I hope nobody takes this the wrong way as it is only my opinion noting else.

I think what a lot of the problem is .  Is that a really , really good smart , sure nuff ruff type of bite them in the butt, shut down,  back off-hold & bay, not catch but hold and bay types of dogs all this in one dog are a lot harder to come by than most people think.  Most of the time it takes a great breeding program to consistently produce these types of dogs  and because of this most people have not seen these types of really, really good dogs very often.  Then the hunter has to be able to put the right dogs with the right dogs and pack them up accordingly often hard to do therefore everybody's opinions vary greatly because of all of this and some are most are under the misconception that loose baying dogs are just that loose baying dogs noting else and cannot be loose baying  bit'em in the butt,  shut down-hold, bay dogs all in one with out catching.

I can tell you the types of dogs talked about above can and will shut down a big bad bronky boar hog just as fast as any ruff pack can.




Again just my opinion.

texashog i could not agree with you more i run one bay dog and one walk in catch dog....they may not be ruff and as gritty as most rcds or some cur dogs but they do what it takes to stop a hog and bay it...i may not catch as many hogs as guys that run a pack of rcds but i find hogs that most dogs couldnt...i will take a good dog that hunts a block of woods out and when you put his nose in a couple hour old track he will go find the hog that made it and bay it over a pack of rcds that hardly get out of your sight and everytime they bay or catch a hog its within hearing

I do not run any more bay dogs i run three catch dogs and two running catch dogs that will also honor a bay to. i have gotten some big hogs with only one catch dog so the more catchy dogs i have the better off i am.

We usually run only two or three finished find/baydogs an a couple pups an we have two catch dogs but our set of dogs are so rough we really don't even need our catch dogs unless we get on a 300 pound plus hog

i hunt alone alot and only use 2 dogs some times only 1,if i bring 2 its a baydog and a rcd.i used to use a cd on a leash but its too much work getting through the thick stuff...if i bring one dog it is a pit/bulldog with hunt...i have caught many big hogs this way,i cant see any need for a pile dogs on the ground at all...when we hunt together with friends 4-5 dogs max is the rule...

if my buddys have 4-5 dogs loaded up i will just leave mine at home,its fun to go with other people and there dogs...it will give you an idea where you are with you dogs performance/handle vs theres Wink

i havent seen anyone mention tracking systems-if you run a garmin and are not lazy you can run rcd's/xtra ruff curs and catch alot of hogs but you have to hump it and be there for them....

it is nice if some one would bring 1 extra cd for the times when things go wrong but keep it leashed up untill its needed 4 sure

I look at it like a fight.
If it was 1 on 1 or 2 on 1 i'd stand my ground and fight.
Any more than that i'll try and get a few licks in but im not staying long!!!

That said I run one or two bay dogs and one gritty cur as a walk in cd.
