I thought about making an offer on Chico but Im pretty sure that dog is out of my price range!! So put me on the puppy list!!! lol

Mike hit the nail right on the head.

The element of compatition is the whole problem.

Everyone that has been in the sport for a lengthy time has experienced this person a FEW times. I may be one of the few people that actually like hunting with someone like that, y you ask because the look on there face when there dog is licking my boots and mine are still hunting and finding hogs there is NO answer for them to give . And most of the time they are newbies and are excited for there dogs and i have no problem with it, but dont get me wrong it wont be a weekly hunt with them just a once in a while thing Honestly i dont care whos dogs do what as long as i get to listen to the music of the bay and the rush of not knowing what is on the other side of it, heck one reason i get rid of my old dogs i dont have to feed and care for em but still get to hunt whenever i want (Good Friends)

yea I have the same problem Richard! everytime I go huntin with sombody my dogs always bay the hog first, now the more I hunt the worse it gets, my dogs usually have the hog gutted and quartered up before any of the other dogs get there ....lol

It's funny to me how many people go crazy when they think their dog struck a hog or bayed one. Everybody likes to have their dogs do good but at least act like it's happened before..

Last hunt I made with Richard and Bryant....my dogs had struck and bayed pretty much all the hogs. Most of the time they would be back in the ranger before we even got the hog killed.

If you could just train them to quit devouring all the hogs they catch so we could at least keep a good count of number of hogs caught, the hunts would be so much more enjoyable.  It's obvious your dogs have no handle.

That's funny right there!

There's a real simple solution to all this...Hunt rangy dogs.  By the time you realize on the Garmin that they're bayed and you make it there, all dogs are present and it's really anybody's guess who started the hog.  (Then you can just say it was yours and nobody can argue!  )

Well if everybody you know would call it "Chico" when it happends, strike, stopped and bayed, then caught because of "Chico" this Chico dog would become infamous all over the world, then we can all name our next upcoming pups Chico, Male female it matters not, see where this is going? anyway Chico should be just be in your hunting vocabulary, like "hog" is, and all trhe hunting will get better from there on out. It can be like a conspiracy or something.

on another note, I knew of a guy one that had three male dogs, all yellow/red, all named Sam, I now know why that worked out.

Boarninja, I will sell Chico to you! I have been hunting with the real Chico since he was young and he does his share, but it always makes it more fun to blame good or bad on the poor dog, even when he is back at the kennel. His owner is great fun to hunt with because of the ribbing/joking.

yep those kinda people are my favorite. i just beat them to the bay and tie or stick the pig before they have a chance. teach them to claim hogs i reckon or quit bein an A$$ about how's dog finds them who really cares anyway dead pigs are still dead pigs. you want credit go to a pen
