I hunted beagles as a kid growing up in North Alabama. My best friends on the farm were my guns, my horse, and a few AB/Pit crosses.
Those bull dogs were hell on stray cats, ground hogs, and the mail man! All strays were caught and eaten by those dogs!lol They came in handy if we had to catch a sirly hog out of the 40 acre hog pen also.
I moved to Texas with my family when I was in Junior High school. I didn’t think you were hunting with a dog unless it was a hound in those days.
I few Texas cowboys and a red runt BMC pup changed my mind forever when it came to hog hunting dogs!
A few more BoarNinja fun facts:
• I am not a Ninja!
• I have been hunting hogs with my own dogs since I was 18. I started with hounds but it didn’t last long.
• I am a big failure as a breeder! I have bred some of the best that I have ever owned. Just don’t ask me about all the culls!
• I still love hounds but most of all I like to pick at those who raise and hunt them. I always let them start it though! You houndsmen still have my respect! Even as hog hunters. Please don’t forget it!
• I don’t like cross breeding hunting dogs but I have seen some outstanding cross bred hog dogs.
• I can’t stand a dog that barks on a track but my favorite gyp does way too often!
• I don’t like Pits but I know some folks that own a few that I would feed!
• I don’t hunt hogs to catch hogs or personal glory. If it wasn’t for the dogs, I wouldn’t even fool with them!
• I love to see a great dog work whether it belongs to me or somebody else! I could care less if I own the best dogs! I just want a few good ones that suit me is all!
• I have a huge respect for the men and women that have figured out how to consistently breed good hog/cow dogs and hunting dogs in general because that is something I have never been able to accomplish!
• I hunt hogs with any source of transportation I can come by but I think everyone should hunt on foot from time to time to more appreciate the effort out of their dogs!
• I am an expert at making biscuits and pissing women off but that is about it!
• This December I will be married for 25 years and my wife still likes me and my dogs! My three adult children and my grand child think I am the greatest hog hunter and dog man of all time!!!
I dont have the heart to tell them any different!
• Im not a cowboy but some of my heroes are!
• My wife “is” a Ninja!
• I am a God fearing sinner saved by Grace through my Faith but I will drink all your beer on a fishing trip!
