Black streak this is a sincere honest legitimate invite to bring your style of dogs down here to the southeastern parts of Louisiana and southwest ms so you can see with your own two eyes, if your capable of that, that your style of dog in not compatible everywhere. I've heard enough on these "finder/holders", since they are for more superior than any other style of dog I want you to bring the brigade and hunt them the way and style we hunt, casting into a wall of briars and going as far as needed to cut a track, or put on a track crossing the road from the night before and trail that hog up and "find it and hold it" until we make our way around there to them. Yes your style of dog may produce big numbers or results for YOU, but why talk down on someone because their style of dogs aren't the same style as yours. I make decent money and I'll bet a months wages that your style of dogs won't be squat in a pine cut over, ever since the first videos made their way across the ocean from Australia men have been trying the finder/holder dogs around here to no avail. Let this be an open invite so everyone can see that you've been offered a chance to showcase these showstoppers....
Ps. We never see the hogs first that we catch, no big crop land around here...
Goose87...I am not knocking blackstreaks dogs or even his mentors dogs...but I am willing to bet that the average finder holder will not trail a hog very far if at all and winding yes to a certain extend but I wouldn't spend any of my time hunting that type of dog in your country nor mine...now having a good cur dog or plott leading a couple of finder holders around I could go for that...
my mindset is that the days are coming and almost here for many of us to run some shorter ranged catch on sight type of dogs...
