Yeah, catch all the small and slow one first I guess? I am curious to see if anybody has a good way of doing this, mine find a few good boars now and then, but we catch an awful lot of sows and pigs in between |

I am curious to see if anybody has a good way of doing this, mine find a few good boars now and then, but we catch an awful lot of sows and pigs in between back in the 1980's a friend used to catch mostly boars and my brother and I were catching mainly sows and smaller boars. It might be coincidental but my friend had a training pen and he trained all his dogs on a 200 pound plus boar. My brother and I built a baypen and put a larger boar in it and trained the dogs on this boar. We all of a sudden had a long run of catching large boars. I also remember talking to a man out of San Antonio who guided hog hunts and he offered 2 packages. One was meat hunts and the other was trophy boar hunts and he ran 2 packs of dogs. One set trained on a big boar the other on sows and smaller pigs. |

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...

Me and a buddy train our young dogs on small hogs and as they get older the hog weight goes up. He always has small pigs at his place near the dogs, but only puts them on bigger pigs for training. Seems to work but Personally i dont care if its 50lbs or 350.

I got a pen full of baby pigs and my dogs even the bulldog wont lay a tooth on them if they get out.
I am not into hog killing and if they catch them the will usually slobber a little on them but barely break the skin. The same dogs will catch big hogs and never let go.
Most of the time they will walk over the little pigs to get to the bigger ones. But on occasion they will catch a shoat. I usually let the sows go and cut the little boars to grow to what I am looking for........big barr hogs.
It is harder with more dogs on the ground as they are usually pulling them form several ways!

One way we keep of the shoats and pigs here in arkansas is hunt tracks. We will ride around and find what we think is a group of barrs or a good boar and turn out on em. Doesn't work everytime but it increases the chances I guess???

we used to make mock hunts and staged pigs for winding situations back then we used 60-80 pound shoats because they were easy to handle. didn't have a bay pen in those days. i reckon we didn't realize it at the moment but we were training and/or encouraging the dogs to catch the smaller hogs. the freezer was always full of pork. once we built the bay pen and put a big boar in it we caught mostly boars and i don't eat boar meat... that was when my brother hunted with me and he got out in about 1993 because his line of work changed...you want to catch the big ones train with a big boar in the bay pen... |
