Prayers answered, God is great.

I would say blue heeler pit

Kinda what I was thinking judging from the tall, pointy ears.

Hats off to you Shotgun, you've provided plenty of references.

Post progress reports as he develops.

Both good points Maniac and Shotgun.

Great job, better story. Congrats.

Thanks for the responses guys, for some reason I thought it might be easier in Texas than it was where I used to live on the east coast. It took me years to crack into the first farm. It doesn't matter if I was a clean cut family man, landowners don't give permission that easy.
Honestly I'd probably be the same way, so I can understand where they're coming from. There are a lot of people that are capable of committing acts of stupidity.
Once again thanks guys.

I'm curious, how difficult is it for you guys in Texas to get permission to hunt private property? When I lived on the east coast, I couldn't hardly get permission to hunt private property at all. It can be frustrating, I ended up joining a hunt club which was a big help.
Now that was for deer hunting and I know that can be apples to oranges. Hogs are a destructive pain in the back side for these ranchers, (or so I'm lead to believe). Do you find ranchers in Texas more willing to let you guys on their property to keep the big population in check?
I was stationed in Texas twice in the 80's and nobody could tell me anything about hogs, where they were, where they could be hunted etc.

Thanks for any input.

one thing about cow dog stock...they might not have the inclination to take a track,use their nose or to even hunt...but they sure can have baying style...

This describes the experience I had with a gyp BMC I bought in the 90's, I was wanting a bit more tree minded dog. She was more what Reuben described.

LaDogos,
That works nicely, pretty steady without the movement you get from the head mounted cameras.

Nice hunt, is the GoPro on a chest mount?

When you stumble across one, you do it in fine style.

The coyote was easily in shotgun range, I'd say it's worth a try.

I've got one of these Lansky sharpeners, they work pretty good for what you're describing. I usually use I for smaller knives up to maybe a 4" blade.

We used to take dogs that needed the shock treatment to a field in the evening where we knew deer would be. Turn the dog out, if he ran the deer, he got the treatment. Point is like everyone else already said, ensure the dog is indeed running a deer.

Got my attention, nice looking dogs.

The working EBT's are out there, be patient in you search and I believe you'll be rewarded for your due diligence.

The hunters in Australia that I've seen, use the English Bull Terrier to cross on their sight hunters. You can search Bullygreys on YouTube and the web, it may give you some helpful information  to  help you  get  in the direction you're  going.

I'm down south in the high desert, I think it's supposed to get here tonight or tomorrow. My son is in Orrovlille have to call him tonight make sure all is well.
