I got into huntin hogs with dogs, because we have hogs now. We have always had hounds, fiest, and beagles. As far back as my memory serves me, my dad had fox and coyote hounds. When I was 7, he got me a pair of beagle pups to train on rabbits. I had a blast with them.

We've hunted every game there is with hounds. Most people completely disagree with me now on hog hunting, because we love to hear a good race. Extremely open mouth dogs on track. To sit and listen to those hounds burn up a track is just about as good as bayin it and killing the hog. We run treeing walker and catahoula, and our catahoulas are what I would call semi open on track.

Our style of hunting never changed. Just hogs moving into the area changed the game we hunt.
