my sam houston NF hunt today....

oh yeah...i ain't giving up on her just yet...it'll take her a while to get going. i still think she has all the tools to be an avg to above avg hog dog. it really is amazing to see how athletic she is. i mean she will be running full out and in a hiccup turn on a dime to the left or right without loosing any speed, then in 5-6 steps she'll jump 2-3ft in the air to clear something. her ability is through the roof. she winded the hogs and ran to them so technically she "found" her first hog, she just didn't bay it. like you said she doesn't quite know what i want her to do just yet.

the thing i'm most happy about is that she hasn't trashed yet. deer have jumped in front of her and she didn't take it, rabbits jumped in front of her she didn't take, but when she smelled hog she ran to them. there are tons of positives i can take from this weekend. the negatives can easily be made positives with some more exposure. i just need to figure out a solution to my current problem(please see above...lol).
