... never met this guy/hunted with him to give perspective, however, he is undoubtably an excellent trainer.... He lives/hunts the same areas I do, just have not had the opportunity to bump into each other yet... I'd love to make a few hunts with the man to compare notes in the near future.
I feel this is an accurate example of the "rougher side" of the Florida Cur history. Very typical of " South Florida mentality", in that, the "rough" areas on most ranches(bad ass thick palmetto), make it pretty much impossible to get close enough to stop a hog and bay it.... by necessity then(as bottom is not a viable option considering typical property size), STOPPING POWER/SPEED is bred for... to stop them before they can make it to the "rough"... a FUNDAMENTAL/QUALIFYING trait of any good Florida Cur in my opinion...
... just thought this was an interesting video to show some background on some Florida "style"...
