I have been wondering how many everyone catches also. We hunt the Tri-States, FL, AL & GA and hunt mostly farms. During the week it is normally 2 or 3 on Wed and Fri and then on Sat there is up to 6 of us. All together we have about 30 dogs from started pups to a dog that can find a hog and stop it to catch dogs. I honestly would not say any of us has a "Hog Dog" based on the post on here. However we do have dogs that can and do find hogs. Now some of the farms we hunt we just go catch hogs, I mean there are plenty of hogs, nothing to catch 4-8 hogs from daylight to lunch. Then some farms we hunt we have to hunt 2-6k acres to find the 6 hogs that call it home, now that is hunting in my opinion. We hunt off 4-wheelers and buggies to cover more ground and I would say that most of our dogs are short to medium range but when you are close to boundries that is what works for us. As far as the numbers, we count every hog, pig, shoat cause in 6 months that pig will be having more pigs and eating up more crops which cost the farmers even more money. EVERY hog is killed on sight, no exceptions, the farmers we hunt for will not tollerate bringing hogs out alive. We hunt from Feb to March, shut down for Turkey season for April and part of May and then back at it through the summer till the end of September. We hunt right through the dead heat of summer, usually from daylight till lunch. Hardly go at night ever. This year we have caught 185 hogs, pigs and shoats. And on another note NOTHING gets posted on Facebook, that is one of our pet p's.
