Been getting after them even with the start of turkey season. Unfortunatly the weather is turning and having to switch to some night hunting lately. Caught a huge fat sow on friday. One of the biggest in a long while she had to be close to #300. Been some real decent boars nothing crazy. But several good loads of swine and lots of good dog work. Dash the Plott hound stands out like a sore thumb on the box full of cur dogs!  Smiley

Thank yall. It is sugarcane, corn and watermelons cropland them jokers stay fat. Them bar hogs from that country make the best sausage around.

Mike he just turned 2 in feb. He is a one dog show. Not a real rough dog, but that works for me because of the range.He is usually the first out the box. He really works well for the crops. There are heads and cypress ponds between 30 to 200 acres surrounded by crops. I usually send him and he trails and will bay in the middle. Ill usually leave him bay solo and catch the other hogs leaving out of the head with cur dogs.

I could not really tell you how cold nosed he is. I need to track hunt him more. In the big woods i generally just cast him and leave and go hunt the cur dogs. He will usually be bayed or running.

That said....if you don't have hog sign around around. That joker will absolutely scald a deer! Still a work in progress

Those deer he’s scalding are supposed to go with those boars you were talking about for sausage. I had a dog that considered being a part time deer dog a few years ago. I took a fresh road kill deer and laid out in my dog yard. I put a dog collar on the deer then ran a lariat rope through the collar and attached it to the dog with the dog wearing the “E collar”. I let the dog walk up to the deer on its own and smell it good. I pulled the rope slack as the dog got closer and closer so it wouldn’t connect me to their punishment. A soon as the dogs nose was full a mashed the button and wild not allow the dog to retreat. It thought that deer was eating him. I finally let him have slack and retreat.after a couple minutes I sucked him back up to the deer and done it again.  That was all it took to convince him he wasn’t a deer dog. My little Dilly gyp’s brother bumped into a yote a couple months ago and ran him a little bit open and took it right past her where she was hunting. She fell in with him. We didn’t know what they were running but could see they were driving it hard. It came out of the second set of woods behind that yote and they were about to catch him. That electricity convinced them that yotes were a bad idea. I never say a word to my dogs when I shock them. I let them think it’s the animal doing the biting.

My hunting partner is retired. He takes the hogs and sells them to high fence outfits.

Dragging hogs will make them grow faster than anything there is. Never guess a hogs a weight before you drag it because he’s going to weigh a lot more by the time you get him untied!

T dog that is basically how I have deer broke my dogs for years. I just put a short leash around the deer's neck and attach the dog and walk off 20 yards and start burning. A few time of that and they do not want anything to do with a deer. I have had a couple over the years that knew the deer was shocking them and they would latch on to the deer no matter how much I was shocking. They knew that deer was hurting them and they were going to give it back. Still broke them but they were of the mindset, you hurt me, I am going to give it back to you.

Cajun I won’t lie, those dogs would probably have have won my heart. I can’t do anything but respect that mind set. That “you aren’t going to beat me” mindset is so awesome. It’s truly the mindset I’ve tried to raise my kids to have. This is a little off course but kinda related. When I was a senior in high school, I lived next door to my cousins. They had a buddy come visit that was what I would call fast in a foot race. Competitive natures got the better of us and we ended lining up in the road to race. He beat me several times in a row but nearly a photo type finish every time. I was doing any and everything to gain an advantage. I ended up barefooted before it was over. He wanted to quit but I wouldn’t concede and just kept pushing buttons to make him keep running. Finally, my bottom was either more than his or he gave up, either way I won. I walked up to the house and walking down the sidewalk I noticed my feet burning more than they should’ve. I looked back and I was leaving bloody foot prints. The whole skin of the soles of my feet were just flopping. I thought dang this smarts but it sure was satisfying.
