Hello,im high prey drive

[UNDERDOG]

I understand what yall  are saying but the words you use are jacked.  Strike, Bay, RCD, and Catch.  Finder, Holder?   You Texas boys are spoiled with that dry land and huge fourwheeling properties.  Yeah we have those down here but the magority of us don't hunt them unless we get some special invite.  Fl curs have changed.  Used to be a "do it all" dog now guys are ruining the lines cause all the newbies.  No experience, accidental breeding, dog peddl'n.  Used to be you could have good dogs given to you.   Now the market is flooded with newbies offering up biig bucks for the wrong dogs.  Plenty of capable dogs are ruined due to lazy dogmen.  They expect the dog to just do it.  It takes training.  Trial and error, experience and learning from mentors.  I have my own forum for educational purposes and trying to keep the young guys on the right track but this whole entitlement generation don't want to work for it.  For a dog to reach it's potential, you must have a plan.  You got to want it!  Cull hard and don't sell your chiteaters!  New to this site.  Don't want to sound pessimistic but it don't take a perfect dog to produce hogs.  Many breeds will do it.  Certain dogs will serve you best on different terrain.  I have had plenty of young buck come out with their "finished dogs at 1 year old.  Couldn't catch a hobbled hog.  But they know everything and never shut the heck up.  Texting while their hunting and showing off pictures of hogs they didn't catch.  Once you find you a pack that works for where you hunt, you have to step back and think to yourself........self......I need to protect these dogs so I can have a decent line.   No.... everyone wants Now Now Now.  If you don't want your dogs to get beat up don't hunt hogs with dogs.  It happens!  Get you some bay dogs that will run you across the county with your atv and shoot.  If you want to have HOGDOGS.  One month ago I lost my bad a** catch dog, got my lead dog stitched, lost a puppy to severed achilles and my RCD got 150 stitches.  All in a matter of minutes.  The Boar hog beat me and my pack.  The challenge is to get back ASAP an d figure that badboy out.   For months before that we had nothing but minor flesh wounds here and there.  It takes time and experience.  You know where to get the best dogs.  Florida!  Man my fingers are tired and I'm up way too late!  All Do respect to everybody who don't fall into my criticism.  

Since you posted in the wrong topic I moved this.

You seem to have a very strong opinion and a very rough one for a first post and its late and im not sure how to take it. Why don't you introduce yourself, how old are you, were you from exactly in Florida,what kinda dogs you got?  Maybe some pics,how long you been dogging etc.?

[justincorbell]

sorry buddy but you are WAY outta line......and alot on this site are gonna feal the same way...........texas boys are spoiled? with our wide open hunting places?..............have you even ever stepped foot in texas? we have EVERYTHING that ya'll have a far as landscape and hunting grounds.......i am in no way talking down on florida or attemptin to take away from your state at all but do me a favor and think a bit before you start a sensless rant.........sounds to me like you are tryin to make up for something, or maybe you are just jealous of us "spoiled texas boys" ....... we have palmetto groves that go as far as the eye can see, swamplands FULL of gators, pine plantations that you can't see 5 foot in front of you in the daylight, scrub brush full of cactus, briar patches, hardwood bottoms, O and did I mention SWAMPS..........think before you type, you may realize that us "texas boys" aren't all that different that yourself......I've only been doggin for 5yrs but i've been hunting this land my entire life and I can promise you that texas lands are as wild as any. And while I may not have dogs that will do it at this current time I can guarantee you that there are guys on here that can and will be more than happy to prove to you that the "BEST" dogs don't just come from florida..........have a great day

WOW    Here we go again 

[coyote hunter]

U want spoiled  ill admit i have it made  ask anyone that hunts or has hunted with me  i have it great  wide open flat land, hogs a quarter mile from my house  my furthest drive is ten miles   keys to gates to just drive up on the bays most times  landowners overall like me although "newbies" r ruining hunting here also so u can call me spoiled    but before u get on here and stereotype any state or any individual i suggest u get to know the people and who they r and what they go thru  lugger and holder r aussie terms  if ur gonna be on this board u should get to know the lingo and where its from imo  there r posts about terms and their meanings  u should read em    ur about to get bashed on this post by some "spoiled texans"  im sure and really and truly if u would have worded that post differently and more kindly u would see a whole different side to these people  they r a really great bunch  for example  problems at home and newbies had me ready to sell all my stuff but these guys talked me out of it and offered to come get my dogs and gear and keep em just in case i decided to get back into it   bever met em but they sure offered some very nice words and a place for my dogs...  moreover anytime i have a question they sure give good advice for free. My last few words on this post r i think u should get more positively involved on here and apologize to the texans( ou is gonna whoop yall tomorrow by the way;) ) and if u dont have anything nice to say then u shouldnt say anything at all.  Hope the best for u bud and that these people dont get to upset at u

 Anybody ever heard of the cat hunters Finney and his son John Clay? The Clays have cat hunted with hounds all over North America thier entire lives. In no uncertain terms will they tell you that the place to live if you want tons of land to run dogs is north Florida.

[djhogdogger]

   All this time I thought that Florida "boys" were spoiled to wetlands! 

[arrowbar]

 You know where to get the best dogs.  Florida!  

The best dogs don't come from individual states, but come from individuals that field test their dogs, select the best ones and breed the best to the best. It is trial and error, but you have to be willing to cull hard and keep thinking of ways and sources to improve your dogs. Not to mention the difficulty of placing these fur balls of potential with the people that will keep extracting this penned up potential and keep continously testing them out at the same time.

Sir, since you were so smart as to not put your name, we will call you Jack. I'm sure you can guess why. 

Now Jack, I don't know you from Adam, but here is what I can tell about you from your post. First and foremost, you obviously are very proud to be from Florida, and if that is your home, then you should be. However, you should also realize, that being from Florida means you don't know chit about texans. First thing you need to know about texans is that 99% of us work our arses off for everything we have, so calling us "spoiled" is the first and by fat the best way to get riled up.

Second off, I can tell that you are very conceited and self absorbed as to toot your own horn and say that you can train a dog when no one else does. You obviously have not met every person on this earth, so how can you truly say that no one takes the time to teach their dogs the correct way to do something?

Third, and finally, I can tell you have not been to Texas, or talked to many people from here. I can tell this because if you had, you would know that only 2 out of 5 people prolly have the prime open landed hunting areas. Most of us have small sections, where if our dogs cross a fence we get in big trouble. Those that do have the open spots have worked for the respect and love of the land owners by being kind and courteous, something that you obviously have no experience with.

Before you open your mouth about "spoiled texans" I suggest you do a little more research and spend some time actually talking with us texans and get the real story.

WOW    Here we go again

I am like Underdog, Big Chris, and Halfbreed on this one. I would love to have the link to your forum. I definitely need help training dogs and learning what prey drive is. As for the best dogs being from Florida, I have yet to see someone prove it. I would love for you to bring them bad arse Florida curs over here and run some of the hogs through the mesquite with me.

[sfboarbuster]

There is some truth to some of the things he said in that post, but some things that shouldn't have been said....

I ain't getting in the middle of it, all i'm saying is he lives in florida and i'm pretty sure he don't hunt florida curs....

[Noah]

Alright, spill it!  Who is it, Sean Kelley under a new screen name? 

[sfboarbuster]

No it's not Sean. I don't want to get in the middle of this one.

He seems like a pretty decent guy though.
