Winding Only Boar Hogs

back in the 1980's my brother and I trained our pups and dogs on shoats and young sows because they were easier to handle on staged hunts...and our dogs mostly caught sows and smaller hogs and an occasional boar...in the meantime I had a couple of friends that were brothers and they only caught boars with their dogs...they had a training pen and only used big boars to train pups and dogs...My brother and I built a training pen and used big boars for training and we started catching big boars more often and a lot less sows and shoats...

I first made the connection when someone that was a guide told me how he trained his dogs...he advertised meat hunts and trophy hunts...he had a redbone hound that he used for trophy hunts and he started him in the bay pen with a big boar and when the dog was baying good he then used sows and shoats and he shocked the hound off of those hogs...so the redbone only struck and bayed boars...
