Cast Hunting

People always get butt-hurt when this subject comes up because they just assume when someone says they hunt a certain way that they are also saying their dogs are better because of it.

All boils down to personal preference and also the terrain your hunting. I've caught lots of hogs behind all types of dogs, but I personally prefer the deep casting ones. If I had land more suitable to rigging, then that's how I'd hunt but I don't. Casting dogs are a pain in the rear most of the time and for most people who talk about wanting them, they've never spent hours in the woods trying to get them caught when they are ready to go home. However, I am lazy and I don't feed dogs to have to move them around....AGAIN just my personal preference.

Having screwed up a lot of dogs through the years (I didn't know many hog hunters when I started so much of what I learned was through my successes and failures) I would have to almost 100% agree with that video. Only thing I would change is start the video with "So you have a well bred pup, now here's what you do...". I agree 100% with the guy (whoever he is) that the biggest thing when raising a pup to hunt this way is to not screw it up and undo what your breeding has done. It's easier than you may think to take a well bred go-yonder dog and train him (without even knowing your doing it) to sniff tailpipes.
