Cajunl, they say it tastes like chicken lol. As country as I am I haven’t ever tried it.

NLA it’s something about those Louisiana hog dogs. Between your dogs and  Cajun’s dogs it seems there is no limit to their promiscuity.

Cajun I’m glad you’ve been getting to go. I was worried that your health might not be cooperating. I know you’re looking forward to this trip. I’m excited about my male pup and his litter mainly because of their daddy. Kerry crossed Outlaw’s littermate brother back to a nice plott female. The cross turned out good for them. They don’t place importance on all the same things as I do. Nothing is wrong with that. It’s just the difference in preferences. I had one and I just couldn’t like her. She was too different from my dogs. For example when I go out to feed I tell all my dogs “go get in your pen” and they know which kennel is theirs and go wait in it. She was a year old and still wouldn’t do it until I was a kennel or two away from hers. I had 10-12 wk old pups that were already doing it. She loved the sound of her own voice. I could tell her to shut up and the second I turned my back she would start again. I could start to her and she’d shut up and start trotting away and look back over her shoulder and bark one more time. So I put a bark collar on her and that worked until the battery died then she was back at it. It got to where I kept bark collars charged and when she went to barking I knew it was time to swap them out. I traded her back to Kerry for her sister and she was the same. I couldn’t do it. Then he borrowed Outlaw to breed back to another one of those females. I got a male and a female out of that. The male had to be put down because he got severely crippled by hogs. He was going to make a pretty decent dog I believe but natural selection got him as the Oldman would say. The female is doing good but I let another friend take her. She was better than the half breeds but still had some of those tendencies. She’s 100% going to be a hog dog it’s just a different style. They are what I would say are all instinct. My dogs are instinctive but they are also thinkers. My dogs will cheat a hog if they get the opportunity where the crosses don’t appear to be as prone to it. Just difference that I don’t really prefer. The plan is to make a half brother sister cross if they all work. Hopefully the ones being an 1/8 of the plott will be closer to what I prefer and go back to Outlaw on top and bottom. I wouldn’t call him a great dog but I thought he was really well rounded and good at everything that was important to me. He was also as easy to live with as a dog can be and that’s huge for me and how I keep my dogs.

I agree with your Bulldog type. I know they aren’t for everybody though. I hunted my female the other day for the first time since having pups. She did good but she was a little amped up. I had to talk to her a couple of times and make her get back but it wasn’t bad. I was still able to take both catch dogs to the bay off leash and under control.

The Outlaw pup (Javi) is doing really well... I know he would be farther along if it wasn't for turkey season and then a month-long turn-a-around. I see him connecting the dots every time we make a hunt. He pays attention to us and the older dogs, not a lot of play for 10 month old pup.  He's definitely a pleasure to work with.

Thomas, Your bulldogs really favor my line of bulldogs that I have had for 20 years or so. We favor the bigger bulldogs that are leggy, but built. Hate to hear about your Outlaw dog. It is sure hard to keep the good ones but glad you were able to get one out of him.
  We have been hunting some, not breaking any records for sure. Have not gone the last two weeks because we are getting ready to head for Wisc.

They are all looking good i may need get some DNA pulled on him make sure he didn't come from over here lol

I used to have some guys from Guyana that would pay $25 for an armadillo. I told them I could stand the smell of them. You catch a couple and put them in a pen they stink worse than a hog. They loved to eat them. I guess it was a delicacy there.

I had Ruby trained to retrieve to hand, she had a soft mouth. You woulda thought she was being you a dove.

That little dog just didn’t discriminate. He said a hog was a hog be it a duroc, a Hampshire hog, a Yorkshire hog, a Russian hog, a Hoover hog……

Could be armadillos, I’ve had some good dillo dogs before. That male Jagd I had got shocked off them so much that he developed a new technique. He’d grab and smash them as quick as he could before he got caught. But he couldn’t help himself from yapping before he grabbed it.

Looks like armydillos to me, lol. Sounds like the young cat gyp has some drive.

Cajunl, there might be some hogs you haven’t caught but I’d bet there aren’t any that you can’t catch.

I’ve been going once or twice a week, just a few hours in the morning then back to the truck. I didn’t think the shoat we caught a couple weeks out was thread worthy. But since I’m here, I get to the parking spot, and while the dogs were running around I was marking the truck on my Garmin. Before I could finish I heard a bunch of rustling in the brush nearby, then I heard grunting. Shortly after I heard the girl dogs and one of the males bark a little, then some more running.

It wasn’t much longer after that I heard the sound of victory, they figured which one of the group they wanted and caught it near the creek. I figured I’d let them get some work in and not crash the party too quick, as I’m making my way to them I hear more grunting in the brush around me. Not knowing what might be waiting to ambush me from my blind side I got my 10mm handy. I had one small pig run past, then another, I walk a little more and I see another in the brush to my right. They were all the same size and not much of a risk.

I put my catch dog Kimber away and get to the dogs, the brush was over my head and thick, I didn’t have to go too far though. I leg her up and try to throw here but those three dogs were playing tug o war with me, so I did the old stick and move. Since we were done so quick I figure maybe these dogs might be able to run the track of the other pigs I saw. They gave it a half hearted effort with the exception of my youngest cat gyp. That hussy went as far as 860 on her own, I was expecting her to come up bayed but she drew a blank.

This is the same spot I caught that last boar in early June, the week after we hit it again. My Pete dog started barking bay, but he’s usually gonna catch, well whatever it was broke and he failed to stop it. I’m assuming it was a group and he didn’t know what to do or which one to grab since he was alone. We continue on and cover this area (it might be 200 acres) and I come across a couple spots where the forest floor was completely rooted to the dirt, like someone took a mulcher through there. Next time I go in there again I’m gonna put some cameras up, I need to see what’s going on in there.
