Pups going to woods

Everyone has their own opinion on it but i start taking mine at around 3 months. Simply to just ride in the box with the older dogs and get used to loading up and being quiet in the box. If we catch something smaller ill let the pup out just to play with the hog, not really expecting much from the puppy at this point but at least he's in the woods and seeing what the older dogs are doing. After a few times of going to the woods i might put a collar on him and let him run around with older dogs just to let him run with them. i don't do this long though because of the pup not being able to keep up with the older dogs. The more exposure to the woods the better in my opinion.
