I don't agree with the hole once month
thing man at all a pup doesnt need to even need to go tthe bay pen once
he has it down an knows what a hog is I guess if it works for you
then good i'm a firm believer that each time that dog is in the woods
with a lead dog that is finished to your standards he is going to learn now
I would recommend just one pup at a time when in woods this has just been the way
I have been taught but every body has different ways I'm stiking with what works for me
The pen really wasn't the question and honestly I don't think it matters whether you have a finished dog with your pups or not. A lot of people don't have access to prime, hog rich, hunting land. Some people may go 4 to six weeks ( hunts ) without seeing a hog and that's with good finished dogs. If your pup is well bred he is going to have a strong prey drive. If hogs aren't being located, pup will find something to hunt. I just think your doing more harm than good by running hunt after hunt and not getting pup on the preffered game, this is my point.
