Had always wanted to hog hunt behind dogs. Was raised with beagles hunting rabbits with my dad, but about a year ago I decided I was going to try and get into hunting hogs with dogs. Right now I have 3 catahoulas that I am working with. They have all been started in the pen, and made a couple hunts so far. Just started hunting with an experienced guy, trying to learn everything I can. Still trying to figure out what I need to track and find hogs. Don't know if my catahoulas have it in em, but time will tell.

Hunting with an experienced guy is the way to go. You may find some other guys on here near you to help you get going. Lotsa good folks and good info. You have a chance with those dogs if they were bred for hunt and not color. This sport will keep you broke cause there is always something you want or need that you don't have. Hope you are handy with your hands, it saves a bunch of money to build what you can!

Pretty hand with a wrench like they say... So hopefully that helps save some money. Ya my dogs were bred for hunting, nothing very pretty about em.. LOL... Anyways biggest thing is to know what things I actually "NEED" to get started well. Seems like I need a good tracking colar system for sure as of now. Anything else that is required in your opinion?

I think a tracking device is one of the most important parts of the hunt. Even if the dogs are young and not ranging out that far. Let them jump a runner out of its bed and see what happens..lol..

Welcome to the site and the sport. This is a love heart breaking sport that can take you high as a kite and low as the gutters. I would get the best garmin and 3 collars first and then vest cut collars lead on and on when your dogs are ready to go I would suggest taking them with some good dogs first few times before on your own. And break them of live stock before you just cut them lose I would do this after you have let them work a hog few times so they know what they are after. Even on the first few hunts I would hold them back till the other experience dogs are bayed this will short cut on later training seems they will pick it up faster to me lol. When you are ready to try your dogs on there own get the best cd you can find this will pay off soon as your dogs find and bay and speed them up becuz of the reward of catching the hog. Good luck to ya and be safe

True words judge.welcome to the board.good folks for sure..
I am thinking collars will make a world of dirrernce, and get everything off to a good start.. I was reading up on the new garmin T-5 collars. Read somewhere there is KO bark decect.. That true? Shouldn't they be an upgrade to the DC 50? Any input on collars would be great as well. |

If I'm not working I'm hunting, you get up around there let me know. I got trashy open mutts, they need a blind hog that's crippled to bay one most of the time.
