any Walker hounds

[waylon-N.E. OK]

Just wondering if many folks are using Walker hounds on hogs, if so lets see some. I always liked a good walker hound and figured they would make good hog dogs. If it's a wore out topic I'm sorry didn't see any thing before about just walkers

Now cutter, as a hound man you should be in support of this topic considering it's a 100 cur guys to every one hound guy on here. Besides we all know blue ticks come from walkers anyway

Sir, that could not be farther from the truth.  I assure you that.  Walkers are in fact the culls out of the English breedings.  Blueticks are the superstars.

Are you guys coonhunting?

I was just messing with you cutter, as far as the super stars I think the fact that them Walkers dogs dominate in every big night hunt ends that debate before it starts. but cheer up    we all like your old flop ear blue dogs. even the die hard cur guys

Well let's hunt I got a walker dog outta World Champion Buck Creek Mr. Smith that's a pretty fine hound. Any doubters are welcome to come down Walkers are great dogs for hunting coin.

I've got a buddy that hunts a walker.  He is a nice hog dog.  I just can't feed one myself.  Same with a brindle dog.

Treeing walkers are potlickers, if you have never heard a good pack of RUNNING WALKERS on a fast running boar close the gap after they break his wind you have never really hog hunted, used to be called hog hunting wolf dog style down here......

knightstockterrier  I have no doubt that is true, I was trying to build a pack of July running dogs for just that reason. But I am staying with my cur dogs because I need a dog that works cattle and hogs, plus protect my place and the BMC dogs i have do all well. But I would like to have a good running dog for those hard running hogs be it running Walker or July. I am just wondering how many fellas are using treeing walker dogs for hogs, I would think they would make a hand at it is all

Actually any Treeing or Running fast heads up trailing walker is fine for hogs if you have the country, we used to have large packs and could run hogs for miles, bay up, go shoot the hog and load up, now everything down here is small small and deer fenced off for 200 miles south, so all the hogdog packs are hot nosed gritty types usually to keep races short.  I wish for the good old days too much sometimes, I hunted with guys with a Running Walker or July in a hog dog pack of curs or cats and it sure used to make the rest of them hump up and get with the program to try to keep up with a great running walker or July who could strike jump before they ever smelled the hog, but it hunted together ti was a hog catching machine especially during a drought and very few hogs like we used to have down here way back.  I think nowdays any dog is a hog dog due to the excess numbers of hogs everywhere nowdays.  We used to hunt for wekks with no strikes when they fist started apeRING down here, now my terriers run them off from there self feeders here at the rehab ranch i am onlol

Ha! That was a Freudian slip! Them Walkers will find the coins,,, in yo pocket and transfer em to someone else's ! The good ones aint cheap. Got a buddy in NW Ga that sunk a ton in a couple of nice ones, but he's won his $$ back in coon trials and got a litter on the way, think they all spoke for too.

I've seen some  Lipper Bred Treein Walkers make jam up Hog dogs  ! And you cant  beat a good runnin walker  or crossed with cur  turns out nice . Been kinda lookin for a July but havn't found any  pure ones local . If you think about it walkers and julys have been bred for years for speed and endurance! I hunt BMC's with plenty of bottom but there gettin harder to come by .

I am just curious to what else was he hunted with???  The foxhounds we had they were broke to hogs all loose bayed as well, thats what we liked actually, we ran them with blackmouths and cathaoulas to keep them tighter bayed up, the hounds always would grab the hog after it was shot or stabed but not before, whats weird is that many of the blackmouths and cats would open like hounds when hunted together with the foxhounds we had for strike dogs.  We like them also due to when they struck and jumped you could tell where they were headed, this was back in the day with no gps or 4 wheelers, you had to hear the dog even if it meant climbing up in a tree r up a windmill to figure out where they ended up.  Nice hound sounded like to get rid of, would u take him back if yu found him again???

some of the best hog dogs I had the pleasure to hunt with had walker in them and one of the best I heard about was a full walker.
