Well my buddies from TN all have hounds except for one guy that has Catahoulas.....and me, I have 2 curs. We hunt a good deal in south GA after deer season and kill a lot of hogs. Of course their hounds are open on track which makes for some long races sometimes, but not always...our dogs are pretty rough and will catch one if it lets 'em get up on it. We use several standers and they kill a lot of the hogs we run. I guess if we all had dogs that didn't open on track we might kill more, but I do love listening to the race.....and it hasn't affected my dogs at all, they're still silent on track as they've always been.

I have done it for years. It works just fine.  I own 1 cur now, but he could leave tomorrow, and I would not loose any sleep.  |

I'm not sure where you guys get the long race stuff from.  As with any other breed of dog, there are times when the hog bays instantly, while others they turn and burn. If you've hog hunted, you got on a runner. That is a fact. |

That is "your" packs of dogs. Please don't speak for mine. I am happy to let them speak for themselves.  Sometimes they say "STOP, we've got you now", and other times they say "RUN, but die tired". |

I run all plotts now, I have a really young AB that I got so she has not had any field experience yet. I run cats as often as I can and the occasional hog population as I hunt in an area that is just now starting to see hogs but the drought is helping to keep them at bay. Until my ab learns to catch I will continue to do the bay and shoot method that has worked for me in the past.

Cutter Bay how open are your hounds? and would you say they have some grit to them??? I use to not be much on hounds but have come to respect a good one. If you got the land to run them there hard to beat. Also do you turn 1 dog out on the track and let him finish alone pr pack a bunch of hounds to them? Just curious. If your ever close to Tallahassee let me know I would like to see some good ones run! Maybe I could sneak a cur in there |

If your ever close to Tallahassee let me know I would like to see some good ones run! Maybe I could sneak a cur in there My hounds do not babble, but when they strike in, they are as open as it gets. Yes, I feel they have smart grit to them. I can run them single, or by the pack. Often times I hunt multiple dogs at once as it let's me work more at a time, which is scarce enough as it is. Generally 1-2 of my hounds will bay quicker than those plus 1 or 2 more. The hogs are not too threatened with only 1-2. More makes them want to keep going. Often a single dog will relay onto the next after I show up at the bay. While we finish up, the single will be lining the next victim out. If the weather is right, I'll let them go. It is not, I'll call them off. |

I am not knocking any other breed or style here just postin my opion. I own cats curs plott and hound crosses my preference is my plott bitch and hound crosses they are silent on track which i prefer and my hounds turn up more hogs than my others. my hunting buddies have cats and curs and my hounds out do them. thats as far as striking the hogs now shutting 1 down is not their shining moment thats why I have my curs and cats and hunt with the guys i hunt with my dogs can find em theirs can shut em down this is my experience again not downing any body elses veiws
