Bottom, Stick, Finishing a track...whatever you want to call it.
After the last few hunts I've been ready to cull!!!! But, after I calm down I remember that more often than not thy catch hogs for me and id hate to start over.
I've had the discussion before with my hunting buddy, that sometimes a dog that will quit a runner in this Florida thick scrub and heat is a blessing in disguise. But, sometimes it flat out makes me mad.
Where do you draw the line? And, when do you go back to the drawing board? ( I know these questions can only be answered by each hunter individually)
I've thought seriously bout trying to find a good line of plot or other hound that could add the bottom to my pack. A silent, track driving machine, with speed, stamina, and bottom for days. With the ability to wind or trail and know how to make one sit down...a guy can dream
[/quote ]. I totally understand what you are going threw .after 15 yrs of hunting w yella dogs and a few others here and there I have went to a gritty lots of bottom cold nose line if plotts I got tired of my dogs quitting a running hog in my head there was no excuse for this .I grew up deer hunting and rabbit hunting w dogs my whole life and none of them dogs ever quit a track .so this is my reason for going to my buddies line of plotts , and I can tell ya its been about 2 yrs and its the best decision I ever made .
