Pigs Pigs Pigs...then some more pigs. lol. I've been tryin' to work mine with a finished dog and cut a half hobbled hog loose so it don't get plum away. guys on here have said they use dog harnesses. put a towel in the hogs bedding then take it out with gloves. drag it around and tie the hog up on the end of the trail you drug. Depends also if you want them to strike from wind or on the ground. hobble a hog and drag it around and tie hog on the end of that. Several different ways that's just a few I've used hope it helps.

An idea I got from one of the members here was to tie a 2x4 to a piece of rope and then tie that to a pigs leg (small pig). That way it can lay it's own trail and will eventually get hung up in the brush and not get to far away. It worked well with my pup and I plan on doing it again. JMO

Yeah but I never gave the pig more than a 5 minute head start. Started with around 2 minutes and worked my way up.

I thought I had a new idea but see the dog whisperer does it similar. If she does does it then I know it is good. Put the pig inside a pen and the dogs on the outside. It allows the dog to see how the hog reacts and nobody can get hurt. I also like it because then the dog know exactly what is ok to chase in the woods. They can bay and you can reward them. In the woods you are busy catching the hog. When training pointers we would put quail in a small wire cage and go hide it in tall grass. http://www.easttexashogdoggers.com/forum/index.php?topic=25184.0 |

you start them by letting them pay in a pen but you dont want to do that all the time they will get use to you finding the hog for them, if you have a good dog to hunt it with try to pair them up, if you dont have a good hog to hunt with turn hogs out in the yard and wait then turn dog loose when it bays make the hog break bay dont catch the hog and repeat and wait longer and longer on tracks, i just turned a sow out and waited 1 hr and let them get 1 mile on the track ill go round them up later on tonight ,they might be bayed
