Open fields would be nice but I'm not that lucky! I could argue this point about the running hogs but Its just going to be a waste of may time!

I didn't mean rough dogs as opposed to loose baying dogs or that rough dogs have no bottom.
I was trying to suggest the combination of being too bitey or breaking the bay and then not following through. That would be the least desirable combination . . in my opinion . . and also a very common result of bulldog crosses which many hunters prefer. Doesn't make them wrong . . just not my preference.
Ideally . . I don't want dogs that are too rough at the wrong time, or too loose. A dog with some inherent or bred-in stock sense should be able to hold a high percentage of hogs until the man with the knife or mule tape shows up. After a long time trying to maintain the roughest bear dogs possible I had my eyes opened by hunting hogs with stock oriented curs. I've come to believe there is a fine line. If the dog is applying the right amount of pressure the hog should be paying more attention to him than my approach. But any time a dog isn't able to hold the hog or hogs at bay . . I expect him to go the distance. If I get tired of hunting I'll try and catch him off. But I want to be the one that chooses when the race is over. If I run out of places to hunt I'll go somewhere else before I start breeding inferior dogs. It's still a big country.
Of course things seldom work out exactly like I want them to.

even bears bay up for the right dog or dogs . . and they have ZERO domestic history. but you're right . . it isn't getting bit that holds em. it's the threat of getting bit.

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...

I know we live in different worlds....But to me this is the best there is. 10 month old pups and worked hogs. Some of these hogs are barrs already, some were made barrs later. This place has been working hogs since before the civil war. *WARNING* Please excuse there is one naughty word in the video. Someone got a little exicited!    The hogs were left to walk away that day. I have bayed up countless rally's most at night. Some of 3-4 hogs the most I have ever seen in one rally was 35. From 250#s down to 25#. Most with dogs that yip on track. Most of the places I kill MAYBE 3 hogs a year off them. And that is fat barr hogs. To me dog work is the #1 thing I go to the woods for....If I had to a knife through every 60# sow, I would really give it up and do something else. |

I know that open fields do exist in the great state of LA, just not in the particular areas we hunt. |

its not much to catching a hog that dont run further than 100yards anyway, even if its 300lbs or 40lbs it takes little dog work to accomplish that with whatever kind of dogs it would be like riding around fields turnign bulldog loose off the truck and catching hogs and running up there ande sticking it, im into the hunting cause i like dogs with lots of bottom whether they be currs hounds rough or loose, if they cant trail it and run it and stick with it for a few hours i dont want to catch it. if i knew what would make hogs run further i would do that everytime i went to the woods. some people are happy catching a little hog real quick and sticking it with a knife but if thats all i was going to do i would go sit over a corn pile and shoot one with a gun or something.

He had 6 hogs tied laying on the trailer in front of the shop. The rule is simple nothing comes out alive. Well the farmer pulled up and saw the pigs. The guy was still running and not around. Well the farmer looked at them about 2 seconds and pulled a 17 out of the truck and shot all 6 laying on the trailer. When the guy came out he asked the farmer why he did it. The farmer said u know the rule and if u don't put a knife in the one on ur wheeler now I'm gonna shoot him to. Yep he is kinda seriouse. Shotgun Arkansas |

Could have not said it any better than that! I can't can't count the times I've just walked in and broke a bay just to get some dog work, has nothing to do with just catching a hog for me. |

And some people wonder why we have running hogs!
Are you serious? Do you have any research backing up your statement or is this your opinion? Pretty sure rough bay busting packs of dogs with about 500 yards of bottom cause most of the runners, but that's just my observations  AMEN!!!! |
