New member here and to hog hunting, I've been on small game up until recently. My names Dany, I'm from riverside California. We have a good population of hogs here in our river area. So far we've caught a good size sow and my jack Russell's caught a piglet. It's just so thick in the area and no garmin I dnt let my dogs go too far. So I'm here to meet people and take advice. And if there's any Cali guys on here I would like to meet you all and tag along on some hunts if possible.

Hey Danny, I don't hardly post but I lurk a lot. I'm up North in Monterey County. Been hearing you guys got a lotta hogs down in So-Cal now. Quite a few guys on Facebook from your area who also run dogs, you might want to check it out. You gotta get used to thick but with those JRTs you outta be ok.

Thanks John, yea there's some good hogs out here. The only reason I'm having trouble with the thick is because I have no way of knowing where my dogs are. My lead dogs a English bull terrier and he is silent. The jacks dnt go very far, there's coyotes in the areas and the jrts know what they are and stay close to me. And with a freeway nearby it's hard to hear what's going on. But all this should get better with a garmin and a couple more dogs. Thanks again, I'm going to have to make a Facebook and look for more people out here.

I don't really know the areas down there too well but hear Riverside and San Diego counties hold quite a few hogs. Maybe find some orange and avacado orchards, if there's grapes that'd be a good place too. It's pretty cutthroat in this state, especially up here. Nobody likes to share and will burn you in a second. There's still good decent dogmen here but a lot of methed up do iting hole in the butts that'll steal your dogs and burn your spot so be careful. I'm not saying it'll happen to you but don't let your guard down or be too trusting until you know someone well enough to have them over for dinner. I've never run tracking equipment but hopefully soon will be get the Garmin alpha and a couple collars. Is the English bulldog terrier like a spuds McKenzie dog? I don't really know much about the jrt dogs but there's guys that use them. I've got a Decker rat terrier x catahoula gyp that's coming along, she's a little over two and 42lbs, I really like her, short range and catchy, I'm sure that's the terrier influence. I tend to prefer smaller shorter range dogs, it's just what I've always had. My trouble dog is catahoula and kemmer and will range out pretty far but his nose is nowhere near that of my gyps. You don't need a whole lot of dogs, at least that's how I feel. We've had our asses whipped with a couple dogs and a decent size pack of dogs, there's just so many variables at times. Some hogs are gonna wreck every dog you got and that's what u need to plan for even if it doesn't happen. Get some staple guns and a medical supply kit. Are you shooting over your dogs or knifing them? I'll message you my number, I'd love to talk dogs with you.
