I found where a very large boar stayed and my brother and I made plans to catch him...long story short he whipped our dogs and probably killed one we never found and my very best dog I lost for right at 3 weeks...I drove 50 miles round trip every day and I put up flyers everywhere and switched sweaty shirts every other day. one day I saw the shirt was moved under some briars and I knew he was around and 2 days later I found him there and he was already healing pretty good from the cuts...right after that I got my tracking system.

another time I lost a 6 month old pup that was running a hog with the big dogs and he came up missing and a car was leaving out of the vicinity in the middle of nowhere... 6 -7 months later I get a call that they had my dog and on the collar it had reward with my number...they were having a big party so they probably needed the beer money...I was glad to get him back because he was making and did make a good hog dog... he was at least 30 miles from where we lost him. I try to hunt when I know I can be off the following day in case I have to look for a dog.

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
A hunting dog is born not made...
