Craig, I wish I had ONE good hunting partner that had a good catch dog to hunt with me. Problem I have is most guys I know A) Either can't hunt during the week
B) Have a pen full of sh#teaters they want to turn out..all at once....with YOUR dogs
C) Aren't much help in the woods
I had a few young guys go with me once or twice. When they realized I was catching hogs 1/2 mile to a mile from the truck (and may have to drag a hog that far), may walk 5 miles in a day with the dogs, often in thick palmettos and briars....it kind of weeded a lot of them out!
It sure is harder to drag and load the hogs myself now, than it was 25-30 years ago.....I just can't figure out why.....
