Pup looks good, and pics work great

Hey mike, what vest do you have on your CD? I like the look and fit of it.

Mike with that being said do you think that if someone got a pup off your dogs and a pup off some dogs down the road and cross them that you would consider them that persons "bloodline"? I feel there is alot of this "thats my bloodline " of dogs going around just because they've bred a pair of dogs.

Eh, a bloodline has to start somewhere. A pair of dogs, usually unrelated, worked great whether hunting, stock dogs, etc... bred, then line bred for several generations.

I consider if you line bred 3 generations you could call it your bloodline for those specific dogs. I guess I'm not one of those folk that take it seriously, most of the time if I hear that's your bloodline, it just means you've bred your specific type if dogs on your yard for years.

Some fellas think if you cant trace your dogs back 25+yrs then dont say the word bloodline. I say, dump the box and lets go hunting.

I had a trailer to behind a 4wheeler, it would hold 2 dogs and a hog on top. It wasnt fancy something I built and used an aluminum dog box. Wish I had pictures.

I was constantly in the swamp, and I dont know if you plan on taking it off the main road, but one suggestion I'll throw out there is tires.

With dogs, hog, gear, the trailer would sink down on skinny tires and bog the 4wheeler up, artic cat 500 on 30's. Go with a wide tire, itll increase your flotation. You can buy ditch witch tires that are 31x15.50x15 fairly reasonable. I just made a set of duals for mine.

Thanks @TheRednose, hopefully she'll take, her heats have been elusive. Barely any signs she comes in but a little spotting. Fingers crossed.

I've bought most of my dogs. My catahoula gyp just came in and hopefully breeding to my hunting partners Mtn. Cur. So hopefully that will be the start of my own line.

Both dogs hunt and have great attributes. I've always wanted my own line of dogs and finally have a good pair to start with.

Here is a recent pick of the pup, almost named him Ugly. Showing signs of being a decent dog.

Definitely gonna be open on track

Least she hunts with him. That's a big plus

Not being a jerk, but your gonna have to put the footwork in yourself. I doubt a private landowner from fla, is browsing East Texas Hog doggers, and anyone from fla on here isn't gonna give up their sources.

Just seems easy way out hoping someone spoon feeds you land access

Some good ideas, thanks fellas.

Awesome story and hunt, nicely done!

Sounds like it was a fun hunt

Anybody care to share your hog trap bait recipes? I'm trapping some now for some hay farmers, and trying different recipes for soured corn

50lb corn
1 pack yeast
2 lbs sugar
2 packs strawberry koolaid aid

I guess not many folks have a cross like this. O well, never hurts to try

Hate to hear that. RIP Ears..
