HOUND PIT CROSSES

well i been guiding hunters for 35 yrs and have never used anything but a hound____ an open hound--- thats the way i make part of my living!!!! i promise you mine will tree a coon -cat or catch a hog and kill it if its a 125lbs or less and yall are right some hounds only want to trail a animal but there are hounds that want to catch and when they do they try and kill it just like it was a coon-cat-or bear-- i can show hundreds of pictures of my hounds and friends hounds catching big hogs and me tying them up--- i have 3 catch dogs but hardly ever turn them loose!!! dont want to ruffle any feathers but the right hound will catch any hog any time --even if the dog is fully open!!! they have to have the desire to catch not just tree, we catch bobcats and coon all the time--i am 56 and thats all i have ever hunted and none are bulldog crossed----JUST THE WAY I DO THINGS--- thanks for listening and any cross will work if the dog wants it to work!!! adios good hunting
