Bay dogs vs. catchy dogs

[cowcountryhogdogger]

come on austin...just admit it...you're too lazy now to drag any hogs out to sell em.  LOL     I'm right there with ya on not sellin em unless its easy acess to get to em.  I run gritty catchy baydogs and I use cds too.  Works for me.  Sometimes it saves my cd a few extra runs during the hunt.  I've got a dog thats just a little over a yr and he still won't bark on a hog.  Hasn't started striking his own yet so we'll see how he does then.  As of now he's just straight catch.  So I guess I kinda fall under both categories.

Hell yeah I am too lazy. lol  I got a pup or two if that one doesnt work out.  I should be out of here in a few days, We need to get together and go hunting like we have been talking about.

Austin, we have been sticking just about everything lately too. Like you said, these landowners are ticked off and you will not be asked back to hunt if you not solving the problem. Hog numbers over here double every six months it seems. I just picked up 3300 acres because the other guy wasn't getting it done. The landowner said, and I quote "he just isn't bringing my numbers down at all." "all my pastures are rooted to hell!" I said well don't tell the guy your giving me permission. He said it doesn't matter what he thinks or says, he's not killing enough to make a difference. I want these hogs gone, dead, out of here!!!! At this point his face was red and he was breathing fire.

I like whatever produces caught hogs and that depends a lot on where you're hunting. I love to hear a good bay but some places around here the hogs run so bad that if the dogs don't catch him within the first 10 or 15 seconds when they find him he'll run and never stop again. If you huntin a lot of open places the dogs get the chance to make him stop but in these briar patches and cutovers around here a hog has all the advantage, if he gets a 30 yard jump on the dogs in a 50 acre briar patch, they may never see him again..  We use catch dogs because 95% of the time there is no way you will get close enough to a hog to shoot him. You would have to get within 10 feet or closer to even see him and there is no way they will stand there long enough for you to get that close. If you don't have a good catch dog you won't catch or see many hogs a year around here..

I like catchy dogs to a certain point but I'd also like for em to back up and bay the group. You must be pretty bored up there Austin

[Austin]

you have no idea, Blaine.  I almost got this well finished though. About 800 more feet.

The only true way too bring the numbers down are by trapping or helicopter you cant catch enough in a days time too do any damage too the hog numbers.  If you can I own 6000 acres and I would like you too show me how you wipe the heard out. It aint going too happen.  I dont care if you trap, shoot, dog em u will never hurt the population, not here in central texas.

Austin give me a call when you know about what day you'll be gettin off and we'll sure try to make a hunt...your country or mine..either one just give me a call and lets go run some

1000% bay.... but that sure doesn't mean I don't want them to put teeth on a hog to set him down and bay tight(when necessary)....  just don't catch his a$$!

if the dog doesnt put some teeth on the hog ,the hog will never stop running ;Dstop worring so much

 i hunt by myself most of the time so i like mine to back up and bay, till i get there with catch dog, my bay dogs will stay with a hog till the end and stay bayed for hours at a time or they anint in my pack, but it took years to get a pack like that, i used to have really rough dogs but i couldnt hunt as much cause they were always healin up, as far as my catch dogs go- i will letem go on any size hog, if they cant handle the HEAT, i dont needem ...... if i didnt have to hunt by myself all the time i would not even have a catch dog, i would prefer someone else have the catch dogs, but alot of the time my huntin buds cant go when i am ready to roll ... so away i go....no guns on my hunt, just a knife

[gut_buster]

i prefer bay dogs.. you dont have to wait all that time for those catchy dogs to heal from cuts.

Chainrated must hunt where I hunt! LOL Thats all our hogs do.  What ever produces hogs! Personal preference.
