wow! that rig is intence  I do like the idea of the carpet. does the rino liner get hot or stay cool? I would think the grip tape and the rino liner would get hot as well? but i love the backwards dog he make me laugh the whole hunt!  |

in summer i put carpet over rhino just so it dont get to hot, once you catch hogs like this it will make you lazzyy.

Just remembered this story from a few yrs ago... a true finished rig dog...
The guy I first started huting with(a fine dog man himself) called me one day to tell me about huntin' with some new people down in south Florida... He kept goin' on and on about this old cur dog with "metal teeth"(dog had lost his teeth from catchin' too many hogs and they had the implants put in $$$... you south Florida guys probably know the dog I'm talkin' about...)
... anyways... they buggy hunted saw grass patches and this old dog sat beside his owner on top the buggy as they rode along... when the dog would wind one, his owner could not only tell what direction the hog was... but also HOW FAR the hog was!!!
This was told to me by a true hunter that knew what a wind dog was but he said he'd never seen anything like this....
Just goes to show you what a dog is capable of if you put him on enuff hogs...

Thats a good way to look at it. now if i could just find a bunch of hogs! seems thats what im in lack of lol!
when i went and huntin with jeremy (guy who intro to rig huntin) had his dog on his dog box and he would turn the light on his dog to see if it was prancing. or if it wined he would tell me to let her go and BOOM! she was on it! it was cool to watch the dog! then i would hurry and let my pot licker out to help out. I did make the mistake once and only once letting my dog go before his and got an ear full... or constructive picking the rest of the night lol!

by watching my dogs i can tell if there striking on a hot trail or on a hog...sometimes i get over excited and let them off when they get a lil excited...i don't want my dogs coming off on trails, hog piss or turds, wallers etc...i want that hog sitting in that field when they strike...

A good trained dog should be able to identify what they are striking. And if my dogs wind a scentable track i by all means want them to come off and take the track to the hog. What if the hog is down wind or not in wind with the hog how else would they strike it. My dogs better come off on a scentable track and work it out, or i will chit can them.
