DJ...that is why I like January to the first days of April...The weeds are down and dead or just barely growing....and it is cooler weather to boot...the hog can bust through the thick stuff and the dogs have to work their way thru and they also have to follow scent on top of all that...get the hog out where it is somewhat open and more than likely it is a caught hog...

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...
A hunting dog is born not made...

I have caught just as many hogs without dogs as I have with. When u hunt rice field country or any open country and you are own horse. The hogs will slip across fields if you watch the hog while your running him down on horse you will see that a hog can't run long distance as long as he is in a dead run then he cant breath he has to stop and fight. But if he is in a trot he can run all day. So if you can breed a dog with enough speed then they can put the heat on one to stop him from running. I made an out cross with one of Vandorns gyps. Tshelly hunts behind a pup out of the cross and I think her name is ruby aka seabiscut now she is not a super dog long range hog finding machine she is still a young dog. But got more speed than a NASCAR. I got to hunt behind her one day and a runner broke on the dogs some super dogs in this race when I seen that gyp cross the first road she was 75 yards ahead of everything when she came across the next opening there was not dogs even close behind her. She put that hog at bay. People don't understand stand a dog with brain and speed until u hunt behind. One. Those are the gentics I want in my dogs. Ive hunted just about every southern state. There's no harder place than the other. The hill country with Jesse Paul was probably the toughest for my dogs do to there feet being to soft. But they still put hogs at bay in those hills.
Haha she is FAST!! My black gyp is just as fast or faster too I agree, just like professional sports... SPEED KILLs!! If anything I'd like to create faster, nut pulling dogs!! |

Scott, I'm 65, lung cancer surviver, four bloodclots in the lungs surviver with COPD and hooked up to oxygen so I can't make the trip. I split my dogs up to my kids but if your ever this way I will see to it that we go hunting. I go every week, but have to stay at the truck and give advice wheather they want it or not

The older I get, the better I was.
If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principle difference between a dog and a man.
