The biggest problem in Ohio is that we have no community of dog hunters. There are quite a few doing this but we are all starting from scratch. The guys here dont work together. One of the biggest helps to me has been the national plott hound assoc. You have a group of people rallying for good dogs and offer help. Right across the river is west virginia and they hunt bear from april till december and most of them have plotts that will run hogs as well. Its hard to get advice off here because most on here have finished dogs and we dont have any finished dogs to train ours with and guys with healthy hog populations have a different perspective of hog hunting than we do but on the other hand this site is awesome. But my west virginia buddys hunting style is hunt and let the dog maul and if the dog dies its a cull. Thats not the way they roll down south.
Its all good and in the end we have a good conversation with all the experience brought to the table and I keep my ears open and prolly need to keep my mouth shut more.
