When do ya'll think I should take them to the woods? i always start them early, but until they can jump in the back of my truck, that's when they go to the woods! Title: Re: What age????? Post by: Mike on November 04, 2009, 07:17:38 am Depends on the maturity level of the pups. I usually start them in the woods around a year old, but work them on "staged hunts" from 3 months on. These pups i'm raising now I started at 9 months in the woods... but they were very mature for their age and all buisiness when it comes to hunting.

It definately depends on the maturity of the dog. Title: Re: What age????? Post by: bob on November 05, 2009, 10:57:10 am I have two pups that are a year old last sept. I hunted them all winter , they have been on thirty plus hogs before they where 9 months old in the woods with seasoned dogs and now finding there own hogs , one seems to be a better dog than the other one , so she go"s on almost every hunt
