whats the best way to hunt hogs

[poorboyhogdoggen]

i hunt witha friend who critises other peoples dogs all the time he thinks the only way to hunt is to let the dogs run in front of his truck till they strike, mine dont hunt like that i take them an to my hunting spots an turn them loose in the woods an let them hunt, when im with my buddy they stay by the truck an he  talks crap bot em, am i not hunting them right or not? wat do yal think

I think it all depends on the situation and the terain. we normaly drop at a feeder or fresh sign and if they dont hit anything we may road them to the next spot. JMO

evrybody has there own style of hunting your way is good and so is his just totaly diffrent styles. i use hood dogs most of the time but i have dogs that i cast on the ground too . tell him to hunt your way and his dogs will look like trash and be right under his feet then you can talk chit to him lol

[dwhd93]

Everybody has there own styles and his don't fit your dogs. If it was me I wouldn't take your dogs with you when ya'll hunt like that. Ain't no sense taken em if all your gonna listen to is his b.s. (like your name by the way! I'm in the same boat!)

I have a friend that swears the best way to hunt hogs is on his laptop with his Cabelas hunting game. No blood or work or dogs to feed. 

It just depends on the place you hunt them. I'd like to see your buddy drive his truck and road his dogs were only airboats are used.

Heck, just hunt the places he can't get to in his truck with your dogs. It's a good excuse to leave him and his trash talking at the truck if nothing else.

Well buddy tell him to come hunt with you and you use your style and watch what his does and then talk the chit back at him !  There is different strokes for different folks.

I hate it when people think there is only one way to hunt hogs and that way is their way and every body else is full of chit and their dogs are too.  Won't take me long to get a belly full of that and straighen somebody out real quick that hunts with us. Just uncalled for .  A buddy that does that aint much of a buddy if you ask me .

He is probally jealous!  His number 2 probally couldnt find a hog unless he drives them up on one.  Trying to bring you down to his level.

in my opinion some dogs want to be roaded and work better that way and some cast and work better that way. I like to hunt my dogs the way they need hunted to work better. me personally i like to road one or two dogs and if they act piggy in an area drop the cast dogs. but hunting with some people that is not always possible. good luck.

If this guy was a real friend, he wouldn't down your dogs. Keep the dogs, and get a new friend.

The right way to hog hunt is whatever way that your particular dogs produce hogs........plain silly imo, i dont care if you chase em down on a 4wheeler or airboat and throw a catchdog on top of em if thats how you want to hunt and it works for you then good deal.
     I cant say that i ever recall actually thinkin about this, the way we hunt is we drop 3-4 dogs abt 400yds into the property then let em do their thing, we drive down the main gravel road and hit trails as we come to them, guess i would consider ours as road/woods dogs. We simply putt along a cpl hundred yards behind them until they cut off in the woods, once they leave out we pull up to where they left and get ready. Ive never noticed a difference in the number of hogs we've caught on our lease roads compared to secondary trails


I don't always kill animals with my assassin, but when I do I use BLOODRUNNERS!

[tnhillbilly]

Ive hunted loose, rough, RCD, cur, hound, hot nosed, cold nosed, tall, short,...................and caught hogs with all of them. The best way is they way you like best that works.

I am lucky enough to hunt with a guy who has forgot more about dogs then most people will ever know when he says something negative about one of my dogs its not to hurt my feelings its either the plain truth and we try to put the dog in situations to improve him if that does not work i dont take the dogs that do not fit the way he hunts. If your catching hogs without your buddy then your pack is right and you should not worry about what he says but if not mayby he is right.

Simple fix for this. Dont hunt with him. Ur money bout them dogs n u trained them for ur hunting style. If he dont like ur style or ur dogs, dont invite him to with u n dont take ur dogs when u hunt with him and his dogs. Ur style will differ from one person to another even though both style may be similar. U do for u, not him. Tell him when he starts payin ur food bill n ur traing time, then he has a little rm to talk

Different ways to hunt for different types of terrain...neither is right or wrong.

If I had places to hunt more conducive to that style hunting, I would probably prefer dogs that stayed near and you could move them around.  Mostly what I hunt are big blocks of woods that you can't get a vehicle to the back of.  If I can't cast a dog in there and it go deep alone, I'll potentially be missing a lot of hogs.

If your hunting pups or young dogs, I would NOT hunt them with that guy unless you want them to start hunting that way.  It's a lot easier to unintentionally teach a dog to chase a vehicle than most realize.  I will hardly drive a vehicle, four wheeler or anything else for that matter at all when I have young dogs on the ground unless they have moved out.
