Just trying to get some opinions been having alot of dry runs lately and was wondering if it was better to just keep puting the dogs in the woods or just hold off on hunting for a while

I havent had dry runs lately but the same dogs that would bay 1-3 hogs a night arent getting the pigs to stop since it got hot and the foilage got real thick. I think mine are getting put up till it cools off in the fall.

it comes in sperts. for the past few months all ive been catching is piglets too maybe 75 pounds. few decent boars here and there with no teeth. at the end of last year i was on fire catching big boars bars and sows with killer teeth. it just comes and goes.

Are you putting them on fresh sign? or is there no sign at all? I would say it is good for them to keep being in the woods and getting excersise, but always coming out without a hog might not be good. May want to throw em in a pen and let them bay something up, or run a mock hunt for them to keep em on their toes... Just a thought.

Ok thanks may have to do that since most of my dogs are young dont want them to think we are just going in the wood to run n play |

I personally think that a pup (anything under 2 years IMO) needs to be started on mock hunts and maybe a pen bay or two... that way they know what a hog is, and know what a bay sounds like... Yes, mocks are a good way to see what your dog has and doesn't, but its also a better way for them to realize what they are out there for and give them an idea of what they should be doing. The blood and tracks should take care of the rest... JMO |

it,s so dry now it,s hard on your dog,s. the heat is bad and if you don,t have a couple of sure enough old vet,s it,s hard to work a track out it being so dry.
