I'm ready.

Yeah I sure hate the catch dogs to get loose. Cause it takes a lot more energy to catch the hogs for ten minutes. And it's more dangerous. Than it is for the bay dogs to bay for 10 min.

Three weeks ago we caught a boar that cut the dogs up pretty good. So they got a little break giving them time to heal. Well i felt like the dogs were ready so i took them late last night.  Everything went well on the first pig the dogs did good and everything went well except my catch dogs rolled out before I could get them on a leash. Well they ran about 600 yards (as we were following them with the garmin). And stopped in the middle of a clearcut or what used to be clear and I thought oh hell we are going to have to run in those thick briars and get them out. And when something like this happens you can't stop and take a break because you've got dogs on the other end that are relying on you. Well as we were running I heared my Pitt barking (which I had never heard unless she got into a fight which she rarely does especially while we're hunting) I thought oh crap they are in there fighting or something. Well we finally get through about 50 yards of briars and I mind you that visibility is about 3 ft due to the briars well I start hollering at the dogs to stop fighting and I take three more steps and all I see is this 250 lb hog and my 30 lb pit going at it and I realized my best catch dog is not there. I just knew that she was dead. That is not a good feeling when your best dog (best friend) Ain't there and you knew that she was there earlier. Well I hurry up and kill the pig and start looking for my other dog and she's over to the side laying down. I go over to her and she's still alive but not moving. I started to freak out. We picked her up and carried her out of the clear cut to the nearest water and she got something to drink, regained her energy walked out with us.  She wasn't cut up bad just monkeyed out for catching that hog for 10 min.  She's still doing good this morning but y'all make sure y'all pray for her healing. Overall it was a pretty good hunt and the dogs did good but it seems like all I can get on here lately are are the rough ones. I haven't had a hunt in the last month that I haven't had to worry about the dogs health when I get home. But I recon that's hog hunting sometimes.  And If your headed to the swamp you better leave your skirt at the house.





That is the one that got them 3 weeks ago.








These are the two that they killed last night.

Anyone have any pictures on their dogs with a freeze brands. I am getting a brand made from the Pittsburg foundry and wanted to see some pic's. Also want to see anyone who has branded themselves and how and where did you do it. Lets see some pictures.

Thanks bud I will.

No just bought it when I first started hunting dogs and didn't know anything bout them. I've been looking for them ever since then at different outdoor events just can't seem to find them. All of their stuff (collars and cut vest) looked just like this with a camo background with the plastic coated nylon straps.

I got this collar from the sportsmanship classic in columbia S.C. 4 years ago and I can't remember the name of the business who makes them.  If anyone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated.  It's just a well made collar and I would like a few more.

She's about 70 lbs.

I have got a dane/pitt mix,  she is one heck of a catch dog and can run longer than most pitts.  She is about 70 lbs of muscle and strong as they come.  I am not dissapointed with the outcome. She is about one year old and has been on about ten hogs.  I will get a picture of her tomarrow and put it on here.  I am just starting my own pack of dogs.  I have been hunting with a friend for about two years and about a year ago i decided to start my own set of dogs.
