Well we have had some recent posts about the rookies. Believe we have even had this one pop up before. I want to know what you total number of years experience you have had with (Hunting Hogs with Dogs)

This does not count for prior experience with any other type of hunting or dogging unless it was specifically Hog Dogging. 
If you had broken timeframes where you got out....sorry boyz...it don't count. Just your active timeframe.
Post your total number of years experience and if you wish.....what event or followed legacy that led you to this sport. 

I know we have alot of rookies....my curiosity is for how many old tush hogs we have lurking in the shadows that only post occasionally. 

This is only for fun fellers......so dont turn it into a measuring contest.

Enjoy.

Hog 7yrs total, 2yrs this go-a-round and 5yrs when I was kid with my Dad.
I've been hunting with dogs my whole life. Deer dogs, coon dogs, squirrel dogs, and now hog dogs.  I gave up my baby bottle to a Plott b!tch with 11 puppies cause I thought she need the help!  Cheesy True story

I started in 2004, a guy I worked with (gander mountain) was a hog dogger, we didnt talk much due to being in different departments but i told him I had been tryin to get in the sport but really didnt know where to start...... but I had property to hunt. He said he had 2 litters on the ground and would trade me a puppy per hunt.......got 5 pups and over 1000 hunts from him, we ended up becoming dang good friends and huntin buddies, still hunt together to this day.

The first hunt we ever went on we bayed a 200+ lb barr in a stand of pines in a thick palmetto patch. I have been addicted ever since that cold january mornin. I dont think I will ever willingly quit, my other 1/2 enjoys it as much as I do and believe it or not, cleans kennels and feeds 7days a week with zero complaint. She's just may be a keeper.


And to answer the question lol, i have been hunting almost every chance I get since 2004. So a little over 9years.
