nice lookin stags...we been runnin ours with the my curs and they are awesome runnin catch dogs. Caught 3 with them yesterday!

nice hunt

Good pics and hunt!  Is that saw grass I see in the 3rd and 4th pic?

No lol...its cat tails in the water

Nice pics, and dogs, but i must add that those are the dang cleanest hog dog hunters i ever seen LOL!

Haha those we were just easy days of hunts...usually we are covered in mud and blood head to toe

Are you still using Stags?

Yea we still have em...I lost one of my good males but I just got a female that's comin into heat

Nice pics, good to see that y'all are getting out and catching some good pigs.

Thanks Paul, have you been huntin any? We need to meet up for a hunt one weekend...btw the pups are doin pretty good!

Here's a cool lookin blonde pig we caught last night. Jo Jo LeMond came up with some dogs and met me, Jed and Cody to do a little huntin...got on a big herd and caught 2 125 pounders or so  alive and the dogs killed 4 or 5 more shoates

Me and Jed with a boar we caught at the end of summer

a boar in the water

a sow in the water

Jed and Ronnie in the salt cedars

Heres a boar that chased Jed up a cow feeder in his barn at his ranch, couple of cool action shots.

Mine start on cows first then hogs!!I never show them a hog in a pen!!After working cows a few times with them then I just start takeing them hunting they just pick up and go!!

Ok so my question is how do they know to work cows or hunt pigs.  All the places we hunt are on pasture land that cattle graze.  We have to completely break our dogs off of cows cuz the land owners around here are real paticular about it and dont want the dogs messin with the cows.  I hear about alot of dogs that do both how do you get them to do one or the other?

Both Males, They were givin to us and dont have room for them. I did take em out one night didnt see any hogs but they will catch a rabbit lol.  All of our others stags and greyhounds work awesome road huntin at night spotlightin hogs and Im sure they will too....kinda timid just need to be worked with.  FREE just message me...located in Lubbock, TX

Nice hunt guys

I love hunting down in that part of the country, even if you do get skunked its always cool to just see that part of the country

There were quite a few that entered the gun hunt but we were the only one with dogs so we just hunted anyways but were still huntin when we were supposed to turn so im not sure how it all turned out

Thanks guys we had a blast

Where abouts in west Texas are y'all huntin at?

We are south of Lubbock between Tahoka and Post

I met a couple of new buddies and they have been wantin to go they have a pit and kinda wanted to see what its all about and maybe get some dogs for thereselves. So we went out saturday morning early and went down the ranch we hunt on to a salt cedar patch where we got a big boar 2 wks ago and ten min in there we had a bay.  My new buddy Jace cut his pit loose and she went right to em and it broke and came closer to us and they had him caught.  He had a real high squeel so i thought it was little.  We were scramblin through the salt cedars and finally got to em and they had a 275 to 300 lb boar so ran in and legged him and they helped me get him flipped and the dogs off.  There was six of us Me Cody and Logan but 3 of them, Matt J, Matt S, and Jace with his pit had never been on a hog in the woods they were pumped. We decided to stick him and drug him out to get pics



So we moved over to another set of salt cedars and cut the dogs loose and switched catchdogs...20 to 30 min of walkin through our strike dog Red bayed and the rest of them went to him. We got pretty close and I cut Cinnamon loose and ran to the bay.
They had this 300 lb sow caught (we weighed her on the gin scales) walked her out live and threw her in the trailer.


Went to another set of cedars and didnt come up with anything.  The newbies were just chompin at the bit to get on another one and i saved my honey hole to hit up last so we drove over there walked the dogs in and 10 min later they had a lil shoat. Stuck him and while we are sitting there talkin about it the dogs rolled out and were bayed again. So we took off runnin to em and cut both catch dogs loose about 100 yds away and they had this lil blonde boar caught.


We started to keep him alive and drag him out but as we were hobbling him the dogs were bayed again.  So we stuck him and took off runnin this time they were 500 yds away and while we were on our way there they broke and went 200 yds farther right to a creek by the road where Cody was waitin in the mule. We got there and me and Matt S hopped in the creek and stuck this sow and pulled the dogs and called it a day.


Needless to say I got 3 new huntin buddies that are lookin for some dogs now...so if anyone has some young dogs for sale I know a few guys lookin.

It was an awesome day of huntin.

After a few things were brought to his attention,  the hogs must be gutted after they are killed.  The winner will be decided by who has the most hogs then by weight for each team. This is his first contest and he said if anyone else has any other ideas or suggestions to let him know at check in and he will address all the teams about the changes there at Gander Mountain before the contest starts.  Also there is no late fee...THE ENTRY FEE WILL BE $200 ON THE DAY OF CHECK IN.

Hope to see some of you fellow doggers there!

Thanks Trevor

Plus in the end its for a good cause and maybe some of us from this area will have a chance to meet...and if there is a decent turn out it should pay pretty good too.

I know there are a few of you not too far away from Lubbock so I thought I would spread the word. Thats is the link if I inserted it right.  Should be a fun little deal to do.

Good Hogs.  Yall ever made a greyhound/pit cross?

Thanks....We have a couple of pups that are about 10 weeks but thats it

man good hogs. i also like the vest you guys have on, what are they?

If your talkin about the vest we have on...Im not real sure, I think my mom got them at an army surplus store in the Dallas area.

Thanks....No that is one of my Stag hounds but we have a few full blood grey hounds too. We are south of Lubbock in Tahoka, we have alot of hogs around here.

Finally got my camera out here are a couple of teethy boars we have caught in the last month or so





Here is a good boar the Plotts bayed up on Thanksgiving.



lil cousin Trace, me, and my lil bro Kash

And heres a cool lookin lil boar we caught one day...we are used to black ones around here

Amen to that... and it applies to all hunting dogs..

As for CD's, I Never bought a catchdog in my life. You can get all the bulldog catch dog prospets you want free and just as many of them will make good one's as any you pay $$ for. Fact is most bulldogs will catch, you just may have to go through some and find those that suit ya.  No offence to CD breeders tryin to sell CD prospects, but that's just a fact based on what I have experienced and know to be true.
 A good finished catch dog,, yea might be worth payin a man something for his time, feed and the proven ability of one in the woods, but remember what he is , what his job is and how things can happen in the blink of an eye with a catchdog doing his job.

I agree with skoalbandit...we have never paid for a cd....we find them at the pound. We just make sure they dont have any human agression and then take them huntin and send them in with another cd and they catch on.  Some of our best catch dogs were/are the gentlest playful dogs we have ever owned but when turned to a hog its all business. And to say that free dogs dont last as long, we havent ever lost a cd to a hog.
