For the ones that have hog dogs

Let me tell you. I had never seen any other dogs besides mine until I had the pleasure of hunting with Chris scott up here in Stephenville. I thought I had a few dogs that hunted. Never claimed they were any good really, just said I thought they hunted well and I've caught a hog or 2 behind them. Well first night I went with Chris I got to see just what a dog who actually hunts looks and acts like and guys, that whole night I was thinking "I better just go ahead and shoot everything I got so this guy doesn't ask me to bring one of my dogs sometime" comparison that night definitely robbed a lot of joy out of going back and hunting with my dogs. But I will say my pack is getting better every trip and I think that is all about, being in the woods with dogs you enjoy and watching them progress. I quit comparing after that night and now I just accept that everyone has their own dogs and I've caught a hog just like they have. Chris could hand every dog he has over to me and yes I'd hunt the hell out of them, but it wouldn't be the same because I have nothing to do with how good those dogs are. Takes all the pride away.
