Title: Re: # of dogs for a hog hunt Post by: southsidehunter on November 14, 2009, 06:23:18 am Depends on your style of hunting everyone is different. All you will get is what each hunter finds what works for him and his style depending on the terrain and other factors. Everyone on this board catches hogs, everyone on this board don't have the same number of dogs, so everything works from 1 dog to 12 dogs. 8) Title: Re: # of dogs for a hog hunt Post by: southsidehunter on November 14, 2009, 06:26:05 am Forgot one thing, if your dogs ain't worth 2 cents, well it doesn't matter how many dogs you got. Title: Re: # of dogs for a hog hunt Post by: stoked on November 14, 2009, 06:40:20 am I like to run about 4 or less....
sometimes we run more just for the fun of it. you know, everybody always wants to bring a dog... ;D we just tell people to bring their best 2 dogs. Title: Re: # of dogs for a hog hunt Post by: ETHHunters on November 14, 2009, 09:53:31 am When we first started we would run alot of dogs. Sometimes 8 or 10. The longer we hunt the less dogs we hunt. Ive been by myself and just had one strike dog and a catchdog. With the right dogs you can get it done with 1 or however many you want to handle. My main reason for not wanting to carry more than 3 or 4 is having to handle all the extra dogs. So I guess my answer is 3 or 4 dogs. ;D
Title: Re: # of dogs for a hog hunt Post by: got2catchem on November 14, 2009, 10:56:18 am I like to run about 12 Strike dogs and 4 RCDs plus 2 lead in CDs just in case we need the back up, not to mention we carry a gun for the really bad ones ;)

Title: Re: # of dogs for a hog hunt Post by: djhogdogger on November 15, 2009, 09:10:50 pm If we are hunting by ourselves, we usually take 2 best strike dogs, 2 strike dogs in training and 1 catch dog. When we hunt with other people it really doesn't matter as long as everyone gets to work their dogs and has a good time. :P
Title: Re: # of dogs for a hog hunt Post by: catchrcall on November 15, 2009, 09:19:40 pm when I'm by myself two strike dogs, a help dog, and a catch dog.
Title: Re: # of dogs for a hog hunt Post by: txmaverick on November 15, 2009, 09:56:51 pm depends on where i am hunting, how many people are going, if it is a paid hunt or not, if its a paid hunt do they want meat hogs...........lots of things come into play on how many dogs I take, the other night I took 3 with no catch dogs (just what i felt like doing)
Title: Re: # of dogs for a hog hunt Post by: bob on November 16, 2009, 12:19:26 pm it really depends on how much land we are hunting and how many people in the hunt but in most cases we have 4 bd and 2 cd
