Clown Hater folks don't like the "truth" around this site. Its all fairytale land where good dogs don't have to preform "dog work" and its a common practice to quit running hogs and not be able to trail a peice of bacon across the road.
By the way, welcome to the site. I enjoy folks telling it like it is!

Oconee, where is this hog dogging rule book? Where are you getting that to be a good hog dog a dog must put it's nose to the ground like a scent hound and cold trail a pig to a certain distance before jumping it? Why must a dog have to run with a hog for so long for it to be considered a good dog. Why must these dogs have to wait on a different dog to come and catch the hog they found for them to be considered good dogs. Why do we all have to have dogs like your for them to be worthy hog dogs. I don't get this mentality of yours. I get the style of hunting and think it very fun and exciting but i don't see how one of your dogs are better than one of mine. You get your feelings hurt because you like to pretend your dogs are better than everyone else's dogs because of how many you say you have culled.
And speaking of fairytales, it was your fairytale you told about you having HOG DOGS while the rest of use just had hog dogs that set up and shed light on this fantasy world you live in where your dogs are better than everyone else's.
