I would say stop right now. If you are asking these questions you are either throwing money away or wasting everybody's time. That would include the dogs. If you get hog dogs and then get bored and stopped hunting you will be being cruel to the dogs. The dogs want to hunt and if you can't get them out and hunt you will have dogs that just destroy stuff and misbehave. If you are just looking for an adrenaline rush there are easier ways. So just stop now. Not trying to be rude but just shooting straight with you.
go with some body when you get the erg. it hard to get places to hunt and even harder to keep them. theres alot of good guys and ladys on here that will help but it takes dedication to make good hog dogs and keep these farmers happy. even my self is willing to help you if i can
