How many people hunt by themselves?
I've always hog hunted with at least 1 buddy. But i always had someone to go with me, but all my huntin buddies are married with kids, work too much, or dont care about hoggin. So pretty much just me and my dogs, any pointers on a one man hunting team?

I hunt alone when no one else can go. Dont mind it at all. I hunt 2 dogs at a time and rarely use a bulldog. I enjoy bein in the woods by myself honestly, i learn way more about my dogs that way.

I agree Justin. I pay attention to my dogs a lot more and learn so much more about them. It's easier to do things 100% how you want them when your alone too lol I have caught, cut and killed hogs by myself and it can get hairy sometimes but thats just hog hunting and part of why we love it.

Yea man. I don't blame you. I'm not one of those guys that do but I have in the past. I don't like having the option cause with my bad aim id probably catch a dog and that's no good. I don't let guys I go with shoot either. I don't mind guys that carry going with me.

I do it and have done it for years simply cause I hated hunting with a lot of dogs on the ground, and I could focus on mine and enjoy time with me and my dogs but I've been in some real binds by myself. Learned very quickly to start hauling 2 Bulldogs also.

Oh what a thread to see tonight... I go by myself pretty often. Especially lately cause my main buddy is on recovery from knee surgery. Went solo tonight Got on a sure enough bad one I've been after for a long time. Finally got a bulldog hooked and it just took to long to get there(turned him from 50 yards) he was gassed after being caught for about 10 minutes and this hog was just too much for him. Boar Almost got a piece of me as I got to ride on his back for a couple seconds. Then he tossed catch dog for good and packed his bags and left the country. Kicking myself in the ass cause if I'd have had a hand I think I'd have been posting pics of him. It got sketchy but it's the most satisfying feeling to get one caught and killed solo!

Howcome 2 bulldogs?
I've always hunted 2 bay dogs and 1 catch. And at times 3 dogs in thick swamp was too much for 2 people let alone 1!
Kinda makes me want to hunt 1 bay and 1 catch.

I hunted for years perty much by myself ........ I hunted hogs out of rice fields and I'd catch 20 or more a month by myself and tied all of em ...... if the hog was small enuff I'd walk up snap the catchdog to a bush pull the hog away from him and tie it ....... my old jerry dog I could just slap him off ....I used to break a switch and put it in my back pocket so when I threw the hog I could whip the dogs back off it and make them relay on to another one ......anyway if you tie hogs one catchdog and a baydog or 2 you can slap back .....a set of handcuffs will get you out of a bind quickly and always keep some kind of string balled up in your pocket ..... I hunted like that for years ....

Liefal normally my .45 is on me at all times. However due to a recent altercation I got in, my mom won't let me leave town during the week with it in my truck. And I had just got back into town yesterday. Grabbed 2 dogs and went hunting. Didn't even think about my gun. If I'd have had it I'd have dumped the clip.

You shouldn't need two bull dogs. One good one is enough. One good bay dog and a cd can do the trick or two curs that catch and some rope

that's what I used judge for years I couldn't handle 2 cd's trying to tie the hogs by myself ......hey when I started using handcuffs on the bigger hogs man that was nice .... I have tied some kickers that nearly whipped me in the summertime ...might be why I have a fib now I been over heated several times tieing one in the summer ..... now I perty much stay at the buggy unless its close or feel like the walk.... you can sure train dogs hunt'n by yourself .....

Hunting alone one can really train the dogs to get the best out of them...
And pups...one can really see which are going to be the naturals and early starters...and that is an important part of a breeding program...
Bringing out the best in the dogs and having the time to to see the pups in the woods and watching to see how they work ...those are the two main reasons to hunt alone for me...

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...
