Like TShelly said,

7mm STW
I've hunted all over the world and this is my all around gun.

We already have

We are just waiting on the cur guys to show up

I've culled way more curs than hounds over ther years.

Redbone male x YBMC cross is where I've found my best.
The hound gives them Hunt,range,bottom and the cur gave them the grit.

Texaslacy-  Im not in the hunt but Im curious why I have to pay the state of texas for a breeders permit each yr in order to raise and own Whitetail deer in the state of texas If I do not own them?

Im with everyone else , If someone shoots across my fence and I catch them there wont be any law enforcement called I promiss!

DAMN GUYS, Who care who sticks or ties or etc.............
I catch and tie everything that I can sale and stick everything else.

Everyone has their own way.
Some like curs,some like hounds,some like dogos, Some dogs I would not feed and others think they are the greatest.
We are helping control the population of hogs. Does'nt matter how we do it.
I have never posted a pic of anything on any web site. The less anyone knows the less headaches we all have.
My photos are for my photo album and my family to enjoy, And I catch alot of hogs over the year.

The days of working hogs is over in my area.

Still looking for 1 more real rough dog.

No pit or straight Bulldogs

Yall been hangin out with "Tickle" down at the still too long

Its like calling your buddies on monday morning and telling them  we caught 25 hogs Sat night.
Without pics It all just a story

Im a co-owner in a taxidermy shop that I've had intrest in for 12 yrs now and you would think in 12 yrs as many hunters that are in the woods there would have been someone that would has killed one.

I did know a old timer that had over 40 big cats that he raised mainly Black Leopards,Mt.Lions,Snow Leopards that passed away here about 8 yrs ago and his crazy azz kids just turned all the cats out to the wild. And he was from E.TX.

So there probably some around but I still would think someone would have harvested one over the years.

Same goes for Bigfoot there is more folks looking for BF than ever was looking for Bin Ladin and no one has ever produced one.

SOLD

I have an Uglydog E.Vest (E is the letter to refer to on their site)
Its a small with built in cut collar,leg guards.
I bought it for a small catch dog I had and traded the dog off  I have no need for it any longer.Perfect condition.

New they are $140 + shipping

I will take $100 or trade for equal value.
 Shipping included within the US for the $100

Rockin Roo,

You can order a ex-lg artificial jaw set from a taxidermist, And have it cromed. Might be a little cheaper than a machinist time.

I've run loose dogs that have bayed 25 + hogs in a group. And that night they were Superdogs in my book and theres nights I chased these same dogs miles and miles and never get the hog to stop and bay long enough for me to get there with help.

Then I've run my rough dogs and caught hogs quick and home by 10pm and that night they were my superdogs.
I've also had these same rough dogs get cut down so bad I was questioning them ever to hunt again.

If a hog is going to bay he will and alot of times make average dogs look like superstars.
In my book a team of dogs that consistantly produces hogs is what Im running rather its loose,rough etc...............

Let me say I have also met and hunted with a few young men and ladies that show the upmost respect and really want to learn.
These are the type young hunters I will go over and above to make sure they are heading on the right path.

I gave away more dogs that these kids could not afford because I knew they would be treated and hunted with respect of the sport.

Not all the older hunters know everything but most have seen alot more and can maybe get the younger hunters going in the best way.
I still learn something everytime I unload my dogs.

I had a couple of young doggers I met over the weekend at the local feed store and got to talking hog doggin and they were very arrogant young men.
They proceeded to tell me that they never have been out run by a hog and catch 5 to 6 hogs average every night they hunt
I sure hope they don't think Im that stupid the believe that BS.

I just gave up, they were probably 18 to 20 yrs old and knew everything and have seen everything in the woods.
I learned when I was young that you learned alot more by keeping your eyes and ears open and the big mouth shut.

Just thought it was funny.

Back in the late 70's and 80's there were alot of doggers that worked hogs (catch,cut) and only harvested what they needed.
When i was a kid I never had a tracking system just plain old school ears and eyes.
When dogs would bay we would walk in and catch what we wanted. I don't remember having all these hogs running like today.
Our dogs were gritty but mainly bayed tight.
The old timer that I started dogging with would  not go for a dog that was straight catch unless he was on a lead.

Now what I've noticed over the last 15 years is there is alot more new doggers hitting the woods with not the OLD TIMER beside them teaching them the better ways to handle dogs and the woods.

Todays world most doggers are harvesting every hog they catch,Over time (IMO)this has educated the hog population.
We have caught the majority of the old school stand,bay,fight,etc......hogs and the ones that have adapted to running to no end have survived.
I have the amount of dogs that I do because I have ruff,loose,straight catch, and Im always trying to add to the pot and everytime I get outrun I go hours on end the try and figure out a new  stratagy.
If we all had everything figured out it would not be any fun,This is what keeps our intrest up is how are we going to produce the perfect hog machine.
When someone figures it out please advise

Money does'nt make a hunter, Alot of time behind them dogs makes you a hunter.

Money just get a man in the woods faster.

A Winner will excel in whatever they do!!
Does'nt matter if they have 5 dollars or 5 million.

IMO-It has alot to do with the country you hunt.
Open timber tracts may be more suited to a rougher type dog that can get to a runner.
Loose bay dogs seem to work better in heavy thickets.

In my experience a rough dog will break alot of bays in a heavy thicket and cause those 2 mile runs.

I have rough,loose and I usually hunt the dogs best sutted to the terrain.

Most of my places get dogged every week and is very bad thickets.
1 loose bay dog usually and 3 straight catch RCD's,1 lead in CD works best for me.

IMO-If a Rough dog can't get to a runner he can't stop him.
I know that Im always looking for that perfect dog that will find,bay,shut one down and get in his face,catch,roll,YaYaYa.
There is a few out there but very hard to find and even harder to get your hands on.

Thanks Mike for ETHD It has been a great past time for me.
Thanks for the Tri-Tronics 3rd place
