That was a very informative & interesting read...thanks for posting it.

the "ghost" theory was funny...

Good Luck man  "Git Er' Done" !! 

When the little boogers get here be sure to post a picture ! I am interested to see what they look like 

It's been so hot and dry here that we stayed in this weekend.

We did get a good soaking a bit ago though and looks like more is on the way! Thats good thing since I thought Burnet county was about to become the new Sahara desert.

lol that is why I don't even try to guess...Nice Sow Guys!!!!

We have 4 children that like to help name the dogs but usually I get stuck with the final decision.

Trapper < Lacy
Ellie Girl < Lacy
Hidie < Lacy (Secrets sister)
Secret < Lacy (passed away)
Ox < Lacy
Jagd < Lacy
Ginger<Lacy
Biscuit< Lacy
Jilly Bean< Lacy
Sunny Shine <Lacy pup
Buffalo Girl aka Buffy the hog slayer < Lacy pup
Maya < Boston Carver catch dog
Diva < Catch dog hog nose pit
Jersey < My Aussie
Xaila <Siberian (other daughters dog)
Suki < Lacy x plott (daughters dog)
Yuki < Lacy mix rescue (daughters dog)
Sahara < Lacy x plott (daughters dog)

I named Hidie & Secret those name so I could refer to them as Hide & Seek
Named a RED Lacy Blue once..since there were so dang many blue lacy dogs named blue..

 I agree with UglyDog on this one.
 Though we have run behind other peoples dogs the fact is we raise our dogs to work them. Either way it is  always cool to see dogs work well regardless of who they belong to.

Nice Hog! Great pic of all the dogs loaded up with the bacon! 

I am all for the catch dogs! The best of strike/bay dogs will try to hold a big boar but it usually takes a good catch dog to get the job done.

We have had our best catch dog get knocked off one time. The boar was big & mad...but not near as mad and sulky as the catch dog got ! I think she is still ticked off at that boar !

Just getting them out with you and letting them see that it's ok for them to wander away from you.
We start ours as pups in a pen then move up to a 50 acre pen but one of the big things is letting them know they can run off...instead of staying under your feet. I don't want to refer to it as taking them for a walk because that brings up images of a park and leash..  but it is a walk in the woods to let them discover their roll in the hunt.   

Once they figure out thats what you want from them(to get out and work)  then instinct kicks in and the hunt begins.

Just Our Way

Nice Hog & great pic..that hog wasn't going anywhere !

We have actually run into that a few times on one of our places. A sounder of hogs up in the middle of a herd of cows at night .  Our older dogs know to go in and push the pigs out and leave the cattle alone...our younger dogs haven't had to deal with it yet .

I have heard the term "over hunted" in regards to properties many times before...I`m curios, how long you figure it takes before the hogs think the coast is clear and come back or another sounder set up residence ?

When you have a place ,do you hunt the heck out of it, or rotate it out with your other places?
And just how "dog savvy" do you think hogs get?

I know opinions & experiences will vary, at least I hope they do or else I`m not going to learn anything new...but I have noticed the answer tends to be different based on different parts of the state/country

Curiously
