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.
Lol... That I seriously doubt.. Might have to take you up on that one |

Work on getting a tracking system. If u plan to buy new I would suggest an alpha and TT-15 or whatever they are combo track and correction collars. At minimum the 320 and 50's or TT-5's. The 5's will work with either 320 or alpha. Buying used I would go with a 320 and either 40 or 50's. The bark detect can be nice on the 50. Built in trash breaker is nice in the alpha.
To me u have the most important part. The knowledgeable guy that is willing to show the ropes.
Welcome and good luck.

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
I agree...also turning the pups in to the bay reduces the chance of the pups running trash...turn them out on heavy sign...after a while they will be straight hog dogs... |

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...

Will definitely remember this one... Also read some other articles on trash breaking, not 100% sure how that works... Figure its something I will have to figure out one of these days. |

A 320 new runs $350 now. The dc50 runs touch over $200. Most used units run around $400 for a 220 and dc40. U can find used 320 for around 300 or so. Unless u realy do a lot of looking and look for a deal the $ difference between new and used on a 320 DC 50 combo isn't much. Alphas are much higher. Tight on money I would be looking at the 320 with either a 40 or 50 collar. Preferably 50.

Welcome to the forum. Are your dogs rough, loose, short or long range? If they are rough and you want to start them, I would suggest getting a decent cut kit and some collars/vest first before the tracking system. If they are loose and long range id go with the tracking system first. A lot of us started with no tracking systems and managed to get by. lol Oh and the first thing I would do, is look at your bank account, and maybe take a picture so you remember what it was like to have money in there.   |

They are fairly rough and would consider them short range.. Maybe some collars would be a good start. All great info and advice everyone.. Please keep it coming.. |

Collars are always good cuz chances are experienced guys have a Garmin already and they shouldn't mind adding your collars in. I remember running dogs off horses that looking back weren't much more then bay dogs that I had to put on top of hogs, but we bayed lots of hogs and most of em without owning a tracking system, but the kicker is hogs run real bad these days and if the dog has any kind of bottom they can get outta pocket fast.
