I agree about the thermal hunters. Our numbers are very high. I use to not even like to see traps set where I hunted, but anymore, I’m convinced the only way to keep them in check is for traps, thermals, and dogs all to be a part of the solution. We have too many and I know sounds dumb to hear a hunter say, but too many presents issues just like not have enough does. They aren’t the same issues just issues. I’ll take having too many over not enough though.
I’m betting you’re spot on about the catch dog. In my opinion your plan is solid. If he started out an ear dog I bet he’ll groom back to it. A light stimulation with a firm
no when you break him will also help if he’s a thinker. It’s kind of a short cut to rewiring him to catch ear. Between the stimulation, the verbal no, and you allowing him to grab the ear with positive attention for that, he’ll switch. If he doesn’t you probably won’t fix it. When I’ve done it, I let them wrestle the hog a little while on the ear to see that they have better holding potential and leverage with the ear. I hope he gets right because it sounds like he’s a pretty decent dog.
