lets see em !!! post some pics and talk about them if you hunt them. I've already been shunned by my buddy's for switching over from curs. I've always been a cur dog guy, mainly yellow dogs and a couple cur bulldog mixes through the years. I've always been lucky to have access to a ranch to hunt and some orange groves, but with property owners changing I have been slowly loseing that all the way to now completely lost. for the last couple years during general gun hunting season I've been tagging along with some guys running hounds (for hogs). so since I have no cur dog spots to hunt I have decided to join a lease and convert over to some ole hound dogs. quite a culture shock but all and all im a dog hunting person, so im liking it and im likeing the challenge of a new style of hunting. no more beating feet, ill now have to keep the gas tank full. I've only got two walkers of now but more to come. they are treeing walkers come from coon dogs way back when but have been hunting and breed to hunt hogs for a long time, but they aren't papered up big named dogs just some back yard breed walkers but I love em they are getting the job done. was always afraid of the open mouth thing but these dogs will stopyou one and they bay just as tight as any cur I've had. anyways thought I would get shunned by the cur dog guys on here and maybe meet some hound guys.

very good lookin dogs jfork, those pines and palmettos look similar to north florida woods where do you hunt? also do your dogs run the hog the whole time or do you get alot of bays and go in with a catch dog or gun? I have meet a few people and talk with them on how their hounds hunt, majority of them have running walkers. I think the style im going to like more is going to be treeing walkers that will bay the hog and hold it for me to bring in a catch dog, im leaning more towards that just from being use to cur hunting on foot. v.s. trying to get ahead of them with the truck and cut them off and trying to shoot when the hog crosses an opening which is how alot of people I've talk to do it. kinda like running deer dogs

First I want to say I haven't been in the hound game very long and have a lot to learn. I live in central Florida but have a club in n Florida where we hunt both hounds and curs. Normally we will run a pack of hounds in the morning and bring along a catchy cur or bulldog then walk hunt curs in the afternoons. We bring along a shotgun to shoot one if we get a chance but they usually end the race quick. The older walker in the picture above is catchy.
All my local hunting spots don't have enough property to feel comfortable running my walker.
The group of guys I hunt with have put a ton of work into these hounds and I can't wait until hunting season to see how it will pay off.. We have a mixed group of walkers, blueticks, and plotts.

Hillbilly, like I said I'm not really sure where he came from and don't know much about lipper blood.
He is very independent, long range, open and loud! Works a track pretty fast and has lots of bottom. My best dog was free. Ha

Yea I remember when triple creek and royal gorge used to be one club. It was called Lafeyate County hunting club. That's where I grew up hunting. Heard Bighorn has alot of hogs. We used to hunt the property just west of buck and boar.
