Leone, that is a good group of hogs. Those young dogs will make you pull your hair out sometimes. Thanks for the motivational text this morning. We did go last weekend. Bayed a good boar after a hour race in a hellhole. all Muscadines and briars. Bulldogs missed or the hog heard them coming. Anyway ran him another 2 hours and they ran him off the club and we had to catch off of him.
Lol those young dogs will keep ya on your toes lol.
I’m the same way, I like running gyps. I have 3 males on the yard, my oldest dog Outlaw, his nephew Chuck that’s a year old, and my year old bulldog. I just got Chuck back. Deputy Dawg bred that litter up and gave him to a friend as a little pup. They couldn’t get him to leave and got frustrated with him. I like his sister a lot so I told them not to cull him that I would take him. Brought him home, took the shock prongs off of his tracking collar the next morning and he was gone anywhere from 500 to over half a mile with the other dogs all morning. So I guess I’ll give him a chance to prove out as well. My bulldog is easy to look at and has potential but he’s extremely hard to live with. I’m trying to be patient but man it’s hard.
How are you going to decide which gyp to breed? Do you have a stud picked out?
Tdog I got the eating about perfected....still working on the hog hunting part.
I was planning on breeding a gyp this year. The way they came in heat it would of been slap when I was gone out of town. I would like too next heat cycle. I am hunting 3 littermate sisters that are 4. Good thing about owning all females I have just about any pick of males. LOL
Dash the Plott hound bayed the red hog solo. He can do it solo pretty consistently at 18 months.He has a long way to being a finished dog though. He went a half mile or so out hunting on saturday. I heard him baying and man i was proud. Haul butt over to him and he had about 20 head of cows bunched up pretty as could be. I was'nt too proud then! LOL
I could definitely do the eating part. The cutting up I don’t know about. I don’t do much bs’ing, pretty much all business. But hey to each their own lol. Y’all definitely stacked up some pork. It’s always nice when it works like it’s supposed to. Do you have any young dogs besides the plott coming on? How is the plott coming along?
Made a good hunt with my old buddy. We dodged a bunch on rain and thunder. Hunted when we could, eating good food and cutting up when we couldnt.
Ended up with some good ones in the trailer. Caught a few smaller hogs that were cut and freed. We hunted hard...when we found them we didnt miss many.
Man Cajun, hate to hear about your health issues. I had a total knee replacement 2 years ago in January. Missed the whole “season” of hog hunting. Before surgery it was so bad I couldn’t get around in the woods. Time I was healed up, it was getting hot. On a good note though, caught more hogs last year than the last several combined. Been waiting on a Plott gyp to come in and take to “ the old man “ and get bred. So far she hasn’t been in. Youngest dog here besides the bull dogs is 4. I was hoping to have pups already. I hope your recovery goes well.
