Me and a buddy have owned a few Campbell dogs that we bought straight from Gary. Also owned straight gsps and half elhew half pit. My main dog now is a puppy I raised off a female a friend got from Gary and breed it back to a half cur half pit. I will say most Campbell dogs are weird. Like someone stated. Taking a cambell dog and breeding it back to a dog that has no cambell has worked well for us. My full blooded registered gsp was unreal but he damn near had to much hunt. The bird Bulls that I have been around were pretty dang good. A friend took a elhew off a quail plantation and breed back to a very big leggy pit. Almost all of the dogs turned out. It seems as far as crosses go taking a bird dog and a pitbull you have a very good success rate compared to any crosses I have seen. I finally found a leggy gsp female and now just waiting for her second heat to breed to my male which mom game from Gary and was then breed to a good cur bulldog cross. I am a very big fan of bird dogs and bird dog crosses. My best friend has a half fl cur half gsp and its stamina is unreal. If you want more stamina in a line you can not go wrong with adding a bird dog. Wether it be a english elhew, gsp or Weimaraner. I have owned all and stamina is not something they lack.

No no no. Read my post I said what I have I would call average not awesome. Called averaged to what real hog hunters that know what hog dogs are. So probably better than what rookies call average just like a rookie calls a finished dog a dog that has only caught one hog in a year. So our definitions are probably not the same. I don't think half on these board has what your describing. You can't downplay someone who has caught thousands of hogs either.... So that's not getting to me. Do I think a dog running 40 mph across a field catching a hog is cool? Yeah probably a sight to see. I have got to see dogs running them in the wide open tons of times its a cool thing to watch. After reading tons of post on this board in the last few days there's a few things I can say for certain. People adapt there hunting style to what the terrain is. Obviously you hunt a lot of flat open terrain bc obviously they run them down in the open. Next in some places some people have to walk hunt bc either they can't afford to ride something or it is no way in hell you could drive anywhere and it would take longer than if gone by foot. So is there places to walk? Yes is there places you can use finder holders? Yes is there places you ride a damn sidexside and drink beer? Yes. The post of walk hunting does not mean to me there is no such thing or that must be bc you have number 2ty dogs. Around here to me and bo there is really no where in the surrounding counties of his county or mine that you really can't hunt off a utv or atv at all. Yeah there's times that you may have to get off and walk but for the most part dang near any of them the aid of a atv will get you there to your dogs quicker. So to us people around here that do walk hunt we know there dogs suck. Bc that tells us they want leave there feet and hunt. Now your terrain in Texas or whatever state can be a completely different thing. So the start of my thread how many hogs do you catch that was to see if it's different over there as far as what my perception is of a walk hunter here. So when I started getting the low numbers instead of 100 or more. I was like well sounds like a lot of walk hunters here. So I am all for a man to hunt the way he can. I have been coming off as a complete dick to most the last two days but I will say there is nothing like being in gods country in the great outdoors. So if a kid or a man just likes simply being in the woods bc they love it but don't have a dog that's good at all that's fine with me and I respect that. I'm not telling anyone that loves being in the woods to kill your dogs their not good. I would help a beginner anyway as I could. Was telling the newbie his dogs suck right? Probably not... But I would have never said that if he wouldn't of used the term finished dogs. I'm not trying to tell anyone what they should feed. I'm trying to tell some people that really think there dogs are what they supposed to be some of them probably ain't what you think if you have ever been with a sure enough hog dog. There is always somebody with a better dog and a better place to hunt. We all turned these threads in to who has the best dog or the most culls myself was one of the main ones. My post was directed to people who think they own a sure enough hog dog. I didn't ask people who knew there dog wasn't any good to post. At the end of the day we are all blessed to be able to live in a country that allows us to number 2 talk on our iPhones and laptops all day about how the guys dog in bama and Texas suck lol.

We have switched and switch back to the astro. Having a shock collar and being able to track another hand held is a plus. Didn't like the sensitive screen on alpha and my 320 seems to track further. After having both I prefer astro

I can go give a homeless man walking down the interstate one of my finished dogs and tell the homeless man to turn him loose when he needs a ham sandwich and that homeless man can catch a hog. So as as an experienced hog hunter I'm here to tell that beginner he does not have hog dogs. I'm not knocking his dog I'm simply telling him he don't own a hog dog

And please someone argue you with me that it's ok for two finished dogs to catch 1 hog a year. You can hunt at the dang DFW airport for a year with a hog dog and catch more hogs than one... So your argument is invalid

All I do is walk hunt. Have 2 dogs that are finished(one ain't to much of a track dog but will wind a pig like nothing) and 3 pups that are learning. Cut them all loose. I've had so many broken bays its to the point where they've got to keep it bayed for more than 10 minutes before I make my way too them. Still have only caught one hog(this is my first year of dogging) but I'm young with the energy to do it everyday if I could so I'll go until my dogs catch on. So far more times than not, I run out of property before my dogs will quit the hog. So I call them off and start them again. I have my fun and that's all that matters to me
If you have caught only one hog you DO NOT have finished dogs. You have 6 week old pups or some culls Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I will say this you can find out real fast what a person is made of after 4 miles from the truck when it's 30 deg out and you have crossed a creek 6 times and crawled on hands and knees to get to a caught hog or a good bay. Just my observation but 90% won't do that twice a week yr round so hats off to walk hunter and it really is enjoyable to me.

This ain't got to do with about who can walk 4 miles. That's the point of having a damn dog to do that for you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you ain't got dogs worth a damn you ain't going to go to a loaded place and were them out. You still need a decent dog I don't give a chit where your hunting

Places do matter but if your only catching 10 hogs a year I would find a new hobby. But to say I only catch hogs bc I have good places is stupid
