Walk hunting

I think Ed and Bigo make very valid points. Terminology and interpretation of that terminology vary from person to person.

I hunt on foot in a very similar manner to you guys. If you are all about commercially harvesting hogs, walk hunting probably isn't for you. I simply enjoy being in the woods. Having dogs along makes it a little more interesting.

It will test your metal for sure! Go bout and walk for. 3 hours with a back pack on up and down ridges and creek bottoms. Just about the time you realize you have had enough, your dog starts one. He runs it 3/4 of a mile from you and bays it. U r already 2 miles from your truck. U r a hog hunter! U go to your dog. Cut your catch dog loose, it breaks! U follow them another .5 until they get it caught! Your gassed before u get there to leg him! It's a good one! Do I tie it or stab it or release it? Dogs r cut. Your hungry and tired and wet! Tie him. Doctor your dogs. Release him. Start the. 3 miles back to the truck!
