Strike dogs........ ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

back in the 1980s these friends of ours mainly caught boar hogs and my brother and I caught mostly sows and shoats...We were young back then so we had mock hunts, trained the dogs to strike off the truck etc... etc...we never thought it would matter what sized pig we used for training because a hog is a hog no matter if it is a boar or sow so we thought...besides...at that time we didn't have a training pen so we used small hogs because it was so much easier handling the smaller hogs...our friends always used a big boar to train their dogs to bay...we didn't make the connection until I called this guide who advertised trophy boar hunts and meat hunts...He used a redbone for the trophy hunts...My brother and I built a bay pen and started our dogs baying a large boar and after that it was mostly boar hogs that we caught and once in a while a sow...

The guide used a training method for training his dogs but we just used a boar hog for baying purposes...after that I was having trouble keeping the freezer stocked because I don't keep boar meat...
