Hog Hunting Tenure (Whats your number)?

Started cat huntin in 1980 down in south texas with two of the best men that a young guy could ever meet. They not only taught me about dogs but about life in general. Hunted hard till my oldest son was born in 1987. Tried to stay with it but my second son was born in 1989 so had to slow down and ended up selling all my dogs. Started going hog hunting with my neighbor in 2001. Got my first real hog dog in 2002 so i guess about 11 years. Been raising my own bloodlines for 6 years now. Dont plan on stopping. Watching your young dogs growing up and doing good is like watching your kids grow up. Makes you proud.
