Title: Dogs not doing the job
Post by: gtown dogger on May 05, 2011, 10:07:56 pm
It seems that here recently my dogs can't find a hog trail for nothing idk if it's this real dry weather or there just ain't a hog in sight anyone else having that problem

if its more than one dog, I would not think too much of it. Also make sure your dogs are hydrated, I have lost the scent of game before because the dogs got to dehydrated... I hydrated them and got back on "track"

are you seeing sign of hogs?  If it's been really dry it effects it for sure but woulnd't keep the dogs from not finding them at all just takes a little longer.  I would keep after it but check your sign first to see if there around.  I have several places that they have moved off for now but they will be back in a month or so.  Try giving thoses places a break if you can.  Good luck.

Same sort of thing happens here at this time every year. Between all the chemicals being sprayed and the dry weather its hard hunting here. I usually go fishin till its harvest time.
