im not trying to change the subject but i feed the 26 -18 victor  and it has corn in the first three ingridients. does the other mixs not have corn in them. i have not bought the 24-20. 

man that hog sure did have a melon of a head. i have seen alot of 300 pound hogs that dont have a head nearly that big. you would think a hog with that big of head might have some witts to him but  that hogonly new one thing. he wanted to fight, it was crazy he stayed put and just waited for us. oh well it was a fun hunt and we didnt have to swim or wade any creeks.

what did yall figure out about geting the food in dallas area? i live in garland and i would like to try this stuff. what should i exspect to pay for this stuff?

good luck with your searh raider54. i think this is going to be a whole lot more diffuclt than your leading it on to be.  ive been running hog dogs now for over 7 years . now that i do have above average bitch that has been on hundreds of hogs and has proven hearself; i look at things like this.  when i breed here im going to keep 3 females and a male and my 3 0r 4 trusted hunting partners would get the rest. if i get a better job or just some work n the next 3 months im keeping all but 1 female and 2 males and my 2 clostest partners get the rest. why because im establishg and working  familey of dogs and thats how you get some good ones. it has been my expernce the people who work familys r the ones with the good ones.    the reason i think your going to have yours hand full is if somone knows they have a goood female and actuallly proved the dog, other people know about it and they want a pup off it.(its just how things work)  and if money is the motivator you got to think 7 to 12 pups 250 $ to $300 a pup$ but good luck with your search maybe money is no obect to you. i  wish you the best of luck.would like to hear how it all unfolds. man i rember the days of endless phonecalls and hours of driving to get a cull. i wish i could rember the number of dogs iv tried but ohwell.

i am a cur man myself because they get the job done the way i like it.  in response to agteah11. i dont know about "most curs" because there is alot of crap out there and i wont keep it around. but i do know about good cur dogs. they  will hang in the race as long as a hound. now one reason hunts with curs will take a shorter amount of time is there abilty to work a track quicker. also alot of curs will work a track and in the proceses come across alot fresher track and will make the switch and get to a hog  before a hound would. why because alot of hounds stay with the orginal track and run across alot of the much hotter ones along the way. now what i am saying is we could drop a hound in a 1000 acre block of land and it might take an hour for him to find the hog. but it has been my experince that a good cur could probaly do it in half the time. if the hog was moving he could have it stooped a 1/4 or further before the hound found the hog. i have seen a preety good hounds run a track the rong way for 15 20 minutes and we see them go buy us win we have a bay going. me perssonaly the last to hunts i have been on the 3rd n 4 hog we got to were a mile plus away. thanksgiving mourning we started at 7:30am we didnt leave the woods untill 1:30pm. we would of been there longer but we snuk in and caught the dog while he was baying. i was 2 hours late to  thanksgiving lunch. whenever we go to a bay anymore there is 2 peoples responsible for catching 1 of the 2 dogs. if they dont we wait untill the next bay or couple of hours if were lucky.

i have to admit this is a intersting thread. just out of curiosity how much are yall willing to pay. i bet if yall offer enough money thei rwill be some takers.

can one of yall walk me through calibrating the compass.

i like the vest from valley creek. it has been a good vest and the price is reasonbile. i have looked at some of the other ones mentioned that cost more first hand, and ( and have friends that own them) i just couldnt spend twice as much money to own one.

were r you located

cward what part of texas  are those taylor dogs out of.  i got a pup not to long ago that a taylor dog out of huntsvile is in. but that taylor dog is way back in the ped if i were to guess probaly 20 years ago.

jlh i no what your saying. it is almost impossible to prove or disprove were your cur dogs really came from. all we can do is go by what were told.  it just get more difficult when the dogs  change hand and go back to a line of old dogs as popular as the heart stuff. the guys i got mine from are old cowboys out of south east tx that are not in the dog selling business. but they are conviced these dogs go back to their of springs.

Lazyjhogdogs my little female was a rough litte thing when she was young and so was her brother, but they have learned to back up. my female started hunting and finding hog at a year old  but i guess when she was about 18 month i came within a 1\4 inch of getting her killed.

how doyou like your dog lazyjhogdogs. how old of a dog is it. hey kross country how much you take to get rid of them chit eaters!!!

btt

i was wondering if anybody on this board used the old hart stock cur dogs. me and a couple of my hunting partners have had a couple of dogs that go back to the old hart stock and we really like them. i know their are some still down in south east texas but i was wondering if any of yall are using them.
