Go get some 4" tow strap off the highway, a red hot nail and a rivet gun and you can make your own cut gear for free. As far as training goes, get em in the woods and keep em in the woods. Except the the bluetick of course, leave that thing on the porch. just kidding of course, best of luck to you.

Hey bud, welcome to the site. Sounds like ya got yur dogs lookin at hogs good. I'm pretty new to it all myself and don't know a whole lot. But now that yur dogs have been after That hog and showed ya they want it, I wouldn't put em back in a pen again. In the few yars I've been doin this I have seen dogs ruined by to many pen lessons. My pups see a hog pen 1 time only. That pen will teach em to fight one, but not find one ! Best of luck with it, yur gona like this much more than coon huntin !

I understand coon hunters might take a drink or two while hunting. I recomend waiting until the hunt is done with hogs. You just might want all your wits about you catching a pig I always give coon hunters a hard time but it is all good. T-Bob has told you the cheapest cut gear and it works. I have seen a few being used. I did not use it but I hear it works as good as anything just don't look pretty. If you need a knife Wild Boar USA has cheap knifes that will kill a hog as dead as any knife out there.

Before I could get cut gear I had a guy give me a collar made out of an old fire hose with a wide collar through it.

I thought I would add that I dont know how well that will work since it never got used on a hog.

The hog should be more cutting that biting, at least from my experiences

Will your dog be catching with other dogs?? The spiked collar might injure the other dogs as well. Just sounds dangerous.

You can always take the hogs out alive to make a little extra money, helps support the habit, it will become a habit lol.
