Well you are looking at a guy who does his best to put some good blooded hogs back in the gene pool. Am I doing it because my dogs are sorry and no account? NO, but my dogs are still sorry anyways  I don't go to catch any ol hog, I'm there for the dogs and to catch whatever has the biggest track out there. When you add a little good blooded hog in the gene pool, it just naturally produces a better Barr hog. I don't care if cuts the running down or not, I'm not there to run a shoat all over the country anyways, so hopefully it does cut down on the running. There ain't nothing better then baying up a group of big toothy barr hogs though, and thats what I'm after. You can catch hogs like you describe with a VERY average cur and one nice catch dog. Some guys have tied enough hogs down that its no longer about catching a big fat hog. All a guy is proving by catching them hogs is that he had good catch dogs. Just catching a hog ain't that hard if he don't try to out run you. |

Everyone gripes about a runner, I do too at times, especially when you're ready to go. But what I find most satisfying is when you get on one and run him hours and hours, miles and miles to catch him. That's when you know what kind of dogs you have and which ones don't have the heart to stay with him. Don't get me wrong I like goin to the woods and catch a bunch of hogs in a short quick hunt. Bit I really like a long race with a hog at the end of it.

Just catching a hog ain't that hard if he don't try to out run you. An average cur dog doesn't have the nose or the brains to handle the type of work I'm asking of them. Most of the bigger boars will show you more country then you ever care to see, not to mention the fact that we cut our fair share of boars of all ages to replenish the population. Different strokes for different folks I guess. You may catch big hogs constantly, I don't know, but I make it a point to try and catch them more often then not. I don't have anything to prove to anyone myself, and I hunt mutts, but I enjoy feeding em and catching my "tame" Barr hogs! |

You handled it better than I thought you would. LOL. Lets just go and get some ole average dogs and we can catch every barr in the state. |

Yeah Brent, I'd give my eye teeth for a dog that singled out them big tame Barrs  I guess I still got a lot of catching up to do to say I have caught enough hogs in my lifetime to wanna go run a shoat instead of a big hog...thinking about it like that, I hope I never catch up! |
