single dog

I hunt one dog by himself (or herself) probably 75% of the time. My Monkey dog will catch a hog up to about 100 lbs by himself, bigger than that he will usually bay it......by himself. But if I put 2-3 of my grown dogs out they get a LOT rougher and get cut more often.

I think a lot of guys that hunt 4-6 dogs at one time and "think" all their dogs can find, stop, bay and keep a hog bayed by themselves, and do it consistently, with no other dogs out, would be in for a BIG surprise if they left the house with one dog and hunted only the one dog.........there are lots of dogs that can do it with help, a lot less that can do it over and over on different properties, alone with no help. Trust me on this......

I hunted my Dixie female by herself all her life and caught hundreds of hogs with her and one catchdog. It can be done, just takes a little better dog than most.

I have full confidence in taking one dog and driving two hours to a hunting spot and hunting that one dog...and catching hogs. Most guys won't do that.

I hunt Fla curs exclusively.
