I try to get as close as I can for different reasons,...I like to watch a good bay, don't know if it's one hog or a group of them, don't know what he's bayed up in, some of my cur dogs catch with the bulldog, and my thinking is the longer somethings caught the more chance something can get hurt or killed.usually a bulldog isn't caught more than 20,30 seconds on a hog. I like to catch hogs, but I don't like dogs getting hurt more, especially when I can help it. And always send two bulldogs on a good hog unless there's no other way around it.

Now that would be incorrect judge lol. Definitely not a dime a dozen. Most people who say they run rough dogs, I don't even think have dogs that are that rough. Only one guy from around me I know has been real successful with pretty catchy black mouth dogs. I hunt with him often and he runs a damn solid bulldog. If Amos can hear the fight he's gonna get there. But this guy trust his lead cur dog blue to catch 99% of any boar hogs you'll come across

My little brother and I have never lead a bulldog in we cut them from the box or we run the on the ground they keep up with our strike dogs that's just the way we hunt but I hunt with alot of guys that lead bulldogs in and they do really good with them but it's different when we run the catch dogs on the ground we are hunting at a ranch in the corn and grain fields we cut the from the truck.

We do everything we can within reason to put our eyes on the hog before we turn a cd to them. I personally like to be right there with the dog when it hits, i think it minimizes the chance of both the cd and the currs getting hurt.

Your right justin. The main reason I send mine from a distance is my dogs might only bark once or twice. Been many a hunt where you ain't hear nothing but squeal or grunt

You know. 2 of the last 3 hogs we've caught haven't made a single sound once the catch dog hit. And both those hogs that stayed quiet When the catchdog caught, the curs didn't jump with. They stayed back and bayed. Which is the first 2 times that has ever happened with me. It was so surprising that both times, we thought we just sent the bulldog to a group and got him killed. I say that to say this. When we finally walked up to both these caught hogs. It was the 2 calmest caught hogs I've ever walked up on. The first time we sent from about 150 yards and it was about a 175 lb boar he hardly knicked the cd. And he was caught for atleast 20-30 minutes before we finally found him. Curs left him caught solo and ran the rest of the group. 2nd was about 150-165lb sow caught in pretty open area. We sent weezy from 460 and he was caught for probably 5 minutes. No curs caught with everything stayed back and bayed and weezy was just bodied up with the hog both standing calm as ever. Those finder holder guys might not be making EVERYTHING up lol.

Just because I've seen it brought up recently. What is your expectations of a lead in catch dog? Particularly I'm interested in your definition regarding distance. Are lead in cds limited to 25, 50, 75 yards? Do you have a different term if you're releasing from 100, 200, 400+ yards?

my expectations typically depend on the bulldog or bulldogs we have with us. then add in the terrain and the dogs allready on the hog/ makeup of the pack you are huntin. with the majority of the bulldogs ive had for many years we used 2 bulldogs if we could as sometimes they were all the dogs that would be holding on a bad hog. nowadays my partners pack is ruffer and one small bulldog is normally a deal sealer if the hog isnt caught allready. and as someone else posted allready..... im fat, out of shape and 61 so if we dont have a kid/fast runner with us we turn a bulldog loose only once we are pretty damn close. and each hog can be different too. but if you start hearin dogs gettin hurt then the bulldog is sent. idealy i turn in the bulldog so that a person can get to him in 30 seconds or less once caught. |
