EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

1st off I'm not posting this to start no ruckus..just getting something straight and opening someone's understanding... a buddy of mine who is on this forum is getting messaged about why we're not catching more hogs basically whats wrong with our dogs...1st off we don't put every time we catch or don't hogs we dont put evertime we go to the potty or wipe our rearend on here....2nd  We're  not privileged to hunt on private property thats not bee dogged or farmland where you can dump dogs on 10-15 hogs that your looking at  ...so under our circumstances we're doing pretty good...so if all the ingredients is right you'll catch pigs...again just clearing the air on this situation so don't go throwing rocks at someone unless you know the whole story...

X2 Southeast Texas hunting is a little different.....very rarely have I caught multiple hogs on a hunt! 3 or 4 is a bunch to me! ;D Plus in the thickets we hunt in u look like shredded pasta after a couple bays! :D Just saying!! Lol

As you know guys you have people in this sport just like in others.. Their glory hounds!! In it for "hey look at me, look what I done" I don't need to post pictures of hogs or post a story of the hunt to feel good. I hunt for the love of it and to see the look on my boys faced when we catch is priceless.. I know plenty of hunters that post nothin of there hunts or hogs. So don't rip someone if they choose not to, and I wouldn't run any mans dogs down if I hadn't saw them hut...

If this is directed at me, heres my side:

Well I PM'd SeTxhogdogger on here and asked why Everytime someone posted catching more then one hog, why he posted something critical or smart a$$ sounding.  I probably didn't have no right but I was curious.

The guy is hunting with Jeremy Mansfield and I've talked with Jeremy a few times and he's a great guy with some nice sounding dogs.  I just explained that some people have great dogs that can really produce hogs where there is no hogs, and that's the truth.

We PM'd and it was friendly.  I also explained that your dogs and hunting style determines how many hogs you catch as much as the property does. 

Don't sit and tell me though that you've got GOOD dogs because they can wind a hog 100 yds off the road, that's not a hog dog.  There's people on here with straight HOG DOGS, that do amazing work was my point.  

And by no means is this a pissing match just facts, no feelings need to be hurt.

I didn't post anything critical. How is saying I wish my lease had lots of hogs being critical? And how do you produce hogs where there are none? I wasn't saying we have great dogs just because they can wind. We have caught a lot of hogs with them. No dog is perfect yes there are some better some worse. Its just different hunting where we have to hunt its super thick like walls a lot of places. I'd like to know what area you hunt? And I'm not downing nobody else by no means

  What public land is down there to hunt ?

    Ben , stop telling people their dogs suck !

I didn't even known they posted this until now.

its all leases, or hunting clubs. Once the hogs are dogged for a while and feel pressure they get very scarce and either push across the river or move into a different lease

I have junky dogs, I came to the great state of TX and hunted for pretty much 48 hrs straight and struck out  ;D the difference I know what a hog dog should be and I'm here to tell you I don't own one  ;)

I hunt the same country as you, east TX is pretty much the same as mine. I've got easy hogs and then I've got hogs that run and run and run and run. I wasn't being rude, just making an observation to open your eyes alittle to something different.

Do you honestly feel like your place is the only place like this, your hogs are no different then anyones, and there's pressured hogs everywhere, just join the club cuz we are all in the same boat!

Man that's a fact.....makes it hard to figure out pups sometimes. Have one set up relatively easy one day then the next trip it's off to the races....ON THE SAME PIECE OF LAND! Lol...frustrating.

I think my cousin is trying to explain that some folks post hunts like "caught and tied 19 before 10am this morning" ........that's just nearly impossible in places we hunt! I would also like to see hogs produced where there are none!! Lol ;D I feel like my dogs are good ...but not miracle workers!! Maybe if I could teach em to pray we could catch more hogs!?! Don't ever remember talking to ya but then again I've talked to dozens of folks about hog doggin and my memory ain't that good!!! Lol Anyway its all good I just do this for fun!!

Do your dogs roll out? (My dream dog, lol) The guys that have dogs that roll out can usually put a nice stringer together...no matter the terrain.

Yeah they do. Lot of the time it's a single boar or so. Saturday we had 3 bayed and caught two

Man your sweating the small stuff. Who gives a chit about what others think. Seems like if a feller enjoys feeding the dogs he's got, enjoys
hunting the dogs he's feeding on the property he has available to hunt then that's all you can do. I have access to a lot of land that has
NO hogs, have access to a real small piece that has a few. We kill a hand full a year.  I don't think Ben is dogging you or throwing rocks at you.

That's cool! I have yet to get more than a single with my pups. They are so dang excitable...lol. Maybe after they get a few more under their belt they will settle down a bit...lol.

Lol least you catching with them. Our pups don't roll out either they are right there wanting a mouthful haha

Man, i agree with jimco 100%. Be glad u got land to, even though it may sparsely populated and that dang east tx chain saw brush n briars. Some folks aint go no land except public land to hunt. I miss ne and a lil of deep east tx bc of the public land, compared to where im at now. There is a lota land, lota hunters and some land where previous hunters hav screwed it for every1 else after they were kicked off. Just be glad u got the land

Dang Ben, you get some good blooded pups that ain't even old enough to start, and already talking chit about everyone else's dogs!!!!!!   >:D  :D

Y'all don't worry about ol Ben, he's just a nosey sum beach...  :P

this whole thing is stupid lol im reading all the posts and getting a real good laugh from it  ;D

You forgot good lookin'  ;D

Sorry... I meant good looking good blooded pups...  ;D

On a side note, there sure are a lot of setxhog••••• screennames on here... Chit gets confusing..  ;)

Confusing for the north east Texas simple minds..........

    Land and dogs make the difference. Dogs more so then land. Good land just brings out the best faster in a dog. 

I know right........that's why my signature is what it is!!! I think these two oughtta change their screennames out if respect for their elders!!

i didnt really even pay attention to the other usernames...i tried a few others but they were all ready taken.. iv tried to change my username but i dont think it will let me

Don't you all hunt together as well ?

 Why are you selling that dog that  did so well for you ?

I'm gonna take a guess an say your dogs are rough
I have hunted rough dogs an loose dogs the rough dogs usally catch singles
The loose dogs bay groups an catch one they roll with group = more hogs in short time

Who are you talkin to cantex?

Easy Boys!  BAIV lives right through the woods from me and Walker He's well educated in pine saplins and tie die thickets .... Ya'll get on an easy bayin bunch one of these days LOL I sure hope its my turn pretty quick  ;D Some folks like stirring in the mud and some will argue with a fence post and If Cuttinup keeps on I'm fixin to get Lawrence on here!!! :o :o 

The most any group I ever hunted with ever caught in a day was 12. 2 were over 10 pounds. Those 2 went a whopping 75 pounds. Lol. I don't have good dogs don't have good land I have gotten lucky once. Lol

That sounds like a night mare

Yeller you keep your nose clean and i want have to step across that footlog  and cm to Louisiana and visit you...Its all good i dont have no hard feelings against nobody on here..i may of just woke up on the wrong side of the bed this a.m. ...im ready to kiss and make up...lol..dknt get LP on here they'll  shut this whole forum down. Lol

Lol !

dknt get LP on here they'll  shut this whole forum down. Lol  I tell ya there !

Was actually pretty fun. The lil ones didn't run real far and we counted the squeals. Let the dogs have em.

Who cares if you catch a hog or not? It's called hunting!!! I hope you go to enjoy working dogs and that outdoors. If you go for anything less you don't need to be in this sport.
