I have learned a lot from Tiger!     This is what his face looks like after most hunts from htting the briars, cactus, and the rest of the thorny thick stuff we hunt in  All these dogs are carrying the same blood  What kind of dog is he? Sure wish i could find the right gyp to breed him too to get some pups off of him!

Never heard of that but i do remember when my pawpaw would feed our deer dogs the guts after we cleaned a deer. He was real old school and said it was good for them. Not sure if it was good or not but we did it everytime.

I am going on a hunt this weekend on horseback. I have never hunted off a horse before but am looking forward to it. I have an option between a saddle horse or a quarter horse. Both are about the same acting while hog hunting. (or atleast I was told that. ha) Which horse should I ride? Also, for the hog hunters that do hunt off horses, what kind of horses do yall have?

I will be hunting mainly hunting clubs/farmland with CRP fields, cutovers, canebrakes, and just plane ol thickets. I have been on hunts when we have runners then sometimes they will run 100 yards and not a yard further. I have thought about maybe getting 1 or 2 strictly bay dog with a good nose and hunts long range just for those slow days when the hogs are not moving much, but that is if I decide to go with a pack of rough dogs. These are just ideas though, not sure what I want to do yet.

Thanks for the responses. Most of the time they ride rodes and game pick up trails and let the hogs hunt through the woods and the rodes while we ride behind them. Sometimes they will walk the dogs themselves through cutovers etc. Another question is about how much would a few good dogs cost that hunt and find hogs themselves cost? I was thinking about getting some finished dogs and working with there pups in the long run.

I am going to get my first pack of dogs in the near future and am needing some advice. I have been hog hunting with friends over the last 7 or 8 years. One group I go with runs plott hounds, curr, and walker crosses that are mainly bay dogs. They will catch a hog around 50lbs or less and anything bigger they will send a catch dog. The thing i dont like about this is dogs often get too far apart and we spend half the day going after dogs, and a couple times the bay has busted when the catch dog is sent to the bay. Is this just the group of dogs or common with hunting this way. The other group I go with runs catahoula, curr, and plott hound crosses that are more rough dogs. They will bay and catch the hog with no problem once several dogs are there to help catch the hog. The thing I dont like about this is it seems like the dogs dont hunt out far enough from the atvs and some dogs are just help dogs and wont hunt on their own. Once again, is this just the group of dogs? The reason I'm asking this is because if I ask them about it they make up excuses about the dogs and dont want to admit if they have a few bad dogs in the pack.
