EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

My name is Lee Henderson and i live in Bushnell Florida. I have hunted since i was a kid and Hog hunted with dog's since 1995 and have raised American Bulldog's since 1996. Prefer to catch them Alive. My first AB catch dog was a Hines blood dog from Texas and fell in love with the breed.

I just had a litter from her and Eli that are now gone. Turned out Great so far. Some working homes(Hunting) and PP, some Pet.

Ole Sorrento/Apopka area. Hunt the cape mainly and some orange groves towards groveland, also at the ranch in Bellview.

You are close. The best  strike dog i ever had came from my friend Pete Vento at the Cape. I use to hunt the North end as a guest with him years ago. That place is unreal.  Who are you a agent for?

We hunt Unit 1 which should of been the same unit you hunted. I hunt with good ole boy by the name Danny Hatmaker.

Its still pretty unreal with all the terrain you encounter but i'm truly jealous that you got to experience the cape when you got to hunt it. That's when it was unreal with all the hogs back then. I've been told some crazy stories of that place. It's true too that if have a dog that can hunt the cape these days you've got something you need to hold on to. Same thing with the cane fields down south. I've brought dogs down there and they could catch a hog at the cape but I was number 2 out a luck down south. They would run a sugar block and when they got to the other side they were cut up from the cane and they wouldn't hit the next block.

Another fellow floridian welcome I'm over here in brevard , my gramps is laid to rest over there in bushnell god rest his sole

welcome on lee, glad to see you here. this is a good board and fast movin with a ton of pictures. gar

I know Danny well. From the Cape and Green Swamp west and Tosohatchee.  I heard he got that end back. Steve was the lease holder when i first went as a guest with Pete and then Danny had it. Then lost it and so on. It goes up for bid every 5 years. All i can tell you is go deep back in to the marsh. Always did good on that side. Hard to beleive that it has no hog's now. That sucks. Good memories. Lot's of gators!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  What is your name?

I live off the road as the national  cemetery. about 3 miles away. Small world.

I was told it was a great site. BBC has slowed way down so i am branching out. And the other one has too many wanna be experts for me. Thanks man. Lee

Welcome

Ohh no there is still tons of hogs but they have been hunted for 30 plus years and they are just all runners. The names J.D. King.

Hey Lee, welcome aboard. Plenty of discussion here. Great lookin dogs.  Especially that spider pup.  ;)  ;D

welcome ethd and nice lookin dogs

I got ya.   They are bound to get dog smart. Nice to meet you JD.

 

Thanks Tom. I know why your partial to her. LOL. How are the Plott pup's doing? Hope your catching lot's of TN hog's. Lee

thank you.

Good to have another Florida boy on here... strength in numbers you know  ;) ;D

10 4 there we need a florida boys hog doggin forum lol no offense to et  8)

Lilly is lookin good, bout wish I would had bred spider back to Louie again, but oh well. And still kicking myself for not getting jax myself. LOL but he is in very good hands, and glad he found a good home.
   Not much hog hunting in Tn these days. Twra got us all shut down, but after much pressure I think they are slowly changing their mind.
   Did get down to hunt with Don once tho, and made a trip to Al.
  Just kinda waiting for Turkey season to end so I can start running the hounds again.

I will be breeding Jax to Lilly maybe this winter. They both look even better now that they have more age on them. Jax goes to the woods with me but the cur dog's have done everything so far so he is waiting. went up and hunted with Don on his lease a few months back and caught a little one. Then i went with Don and ariel and we got a good tooth boar hog with Don's dog and ariels catch dog. And we got a really good one April 1st. That is in my profile pic. get down this way call me.

Sure will, Don said something about us going down there first of next year. I might be interested in one of those pups.

Welcome, always nice to have another Florida boy here..  Post up some pics of your Curs when you get a chance.  Love seein them bobtailed yella dogs.

Welcome to ETHD. Good looking AB's... I have a couple myself.

This is Ralph. He is only about 15/16 months old. Off to a good start.

This is minnie Pearl. She is right at a year. Young couple dog's. Got her because they said she liked to catch the front legs. potential.
(http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j420/magnuml/DSCN1944.jpg)
this is Dixie. Not yellow but a Ridgeback/Cur cross. You can't see it but she has a big ridge down her back. very smart and easy to handle.

Ralph looks perty damn good, and those pens are the ticket!

Thanks man. Those were my dream pens. I have block up for one more bay already. One day i will add that one but for now that is where i keep my feed drum. Long story but i have a great friend that hooked me up big time. If Ralph and Minnie work out like i think , i will do a breeding later down the road. You can't find that blood easy anymore. 

Dang nice pens.. Really like the looks of Ralph and your right, that blood is hard to get ahold of.

Welcome to the site. I live just up the road and hunt your direction quite often. Did your profile pic come from the Bushnell area??

We caught that one in Lakeland April 1st. All the places in the county i live in i lost 4 years ago when i got hurt. The only place i can go semi regular is in lakeland. Only 1 hr drive and worth it. Full of hogs.  That one is in my pen with another from the same place.  After this bag of feed they go to the skinning rack.

Thanks Dude. Ralph is a dream to handle. Very calm. Just working to get him finished. He knows what to do when he see's one and wants to find one. 

my son is on the right ( Jamie ) and his friend Austin in the middle is the one who's dog trailed and caught that hog. My young dog's had gone crazy in that area but could not straighten out and when we took his finished dog to the same area, Bingo. great Cat cross.

Welcome Lee, good to see u on here, your pack is looking good

Thanks buddy. I wondered if you were on this site.   I hope to have a couple Cur dog's as good as my old ones in time. Starting over is trying and kind of fun. I keep trying to hunt with people with finished dog's. That is how we got the one in the profile pic April 1st. My young dog's went crazy in that area but could not staighten it out. Took his dog in and bingo. So that made me happy and hope for them. Funny i just met the person who bred my Minnie dog on this site and he hunts and lives in Florida. Verified the old Cow blood i was told. Small world.
