I agree about the number of dogs. I have always said, if it takes more than two dogs to find stop and bay a hog, you don't need MORE dogs, you need BETTER dogs. Unfortunately, many people just can't understand that............
I agree....we usually take two good dogs and one or two young dogs.....but if we are just wanting to make it a drama free hunt we will take two good dogs and go......
Cracker....those two dogs I sent you pics of (the ones i am calling Fla. Curs) seen their first hog Friday Night.....they were cow dogs before....I must say I was impressed with them both. Our strike dogs found and caught a 175 lb sow....so we got them off and we cut the sow loose...I gave her a little head start and cut the yellow gyp loose......she found and bayed the sow....the black dog came in with us and once he heard the baying get hot he chimed in and then it got rough......they caught her in a briar thicket...
On that same hunt my Campbell Cur gyp (my best strike dog) dropped dead on the lead on the way out....weirdest thing I have ever seen..... No signs or symptoms...just fell out......
So I guess it was a good thing I got those dogs....
